 Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2008 5:52 am Post subject: The forum you selected does not exist. |
|
|
Greeetings:
I've got an issue with the redirects.
Everything is working great, the url's look great, except when I click on a title, I get this message in the forum:
The forum you selected does not exist.
I've moved the .htaccess, cleared the cache, everything that I read in the manual. When I turn on the Virtual Folder, the website looses all it's formatting - images, colours, everything. I'm out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
thanks all |

Mornin 
that's the thing - this is a fresh install of the complete seo phpbb3 package that is available off this site - not an upgrade to an existing site
and it happens regardless of the theme - subsilver or prosilver
are there any additional changes that have to go into the included themes?
the template loss only happens when i activate 'Virtual Folder'. when that is turned off everything works fine (except for the 'forum does not exist' message when i go to a topic - even a new topic that i just created)
the install went into a folder called /seoforum
here's the .htaccess:
| Quote: |
# Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

Does anything look out of the ordinary?
I tried the test as written on the other forum. The link to the target page, the url in the browser address bar, and the url at the bottom of the target page are the same.
And here is the cache status from the acp:
| Quote: | The cache folder was successfully found.
The cache folder is writable. |
But we still get: "The forum you selected does not exist."
cheers - and thanks

Well, for the styling issue, what did you installed exactly, are you using the SEO premod ?
Sorry about form that do not exists issue, I missed it.
So your issue could be similar to the one casper had :
http://www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/advanced-seo-url/discussions-vt2130.html
I'm still investigating on this one, maybe you could perform the test I suggested to see if you as well get empty URIs ?
As well, where did you upload your .htaccess ?
Because it looks like meant to be used in the domain's root dir with phpBB installed there, and you say your forum is installed in the seoforum/ dir so ... |

By the test from the other page, and empty URI's, did you mean that single line of php code?
I tried the test as written on the other forum. The link to the target page, the url in the browser address bar, and the url at the bottom of the target page are the same.
.htaccess was moved to /seoforum, the forum root.
thanks for your help |

Well, the .htaccess you posted won't work in the seoforum/ dir.
Go ACP, and generate a new one after you'll have checked the "more options" option and selected alternate location, this is the .htaccess you need in the seoforum/ dir. |
