Heloo,

I am new on this forum.
I have a joomla site with joomsef , for the SEO.
I have alaso a forum instaled in a folder , the seo version.

On the forum the seo modules works fine, but the links generated by the forum are used by the joomsef from joomla, and the site returns this error: 404: Not Found

Is the anything that I can do to use joomla and phpBB both with seo module.

Could you tell us bit more about your setting, eg where is joomla installed and where phpBB is. An url could help too to understand more.

The joomla site is intaled in the root. (public_html),
and the phpbb forum is instaled in a subfolder. /forum4.

The component that rewrites the joomla's site url is joomsef.
The phpbb forum is instaled ok, the seo modules works fine, but the url that are created by the forum SEO module are interpretated by the joomsef component.

For now the forum is in construction, and there is no link from the web site to it.

The main web site is : http://www.gamebase.ro

Thank you.

So your problem comes from the fact you're fully integrating phpBB into joomla, it's a lot easier (not only for url rewriting) to keep thing a bit more separated. I don't use joomla, but many user make it to share user without fully integrating phpBB into joomla, a quick search should provide with answers about this.
