Do it's the mixed mod rewrite ?

Must be an .htaccess issue, could you post it here ?

And welcome Very Happy

Well, as said in the install, the .htaccess are meant to be installed in the domain's root.
So if phpBB is installed in a sub folder, the .htaccess should mention it and be installed above it, in the domain's root.

Post you .htaccess and tell us few words about your folder structure if needed Wink

Thanks for your reply, its working now, but viewforum.php?f=1 is displaying insted of html any help

This is most likely because of some mistake during install.

Check the php files corresponding to where you see unrewritten links.

A link can as well help out to help you out Wink

Well, I need to know where exactly the links are not rewritten to tell you more. If the links is on a forum, it's viewforum.php, on the index it's index.php, and topic viewtopic.php.

I'm having a similar problem with my rewrite. I've installed:

Mixed Mod Rewrite
Mixed Zero Dupe
GYM Sitemaps
Optimal Titles

with installing Mod Rewrite last. Whenever I try to access anything that is using mod_rewrite (category, forum, topic, user, etc), my site portal gives an error. I am using phpBB integrated into Subdreamer (www.subdreamer.com). My forum is installed under /forum, and the .htaccess is in the domain root of /public_html.

My .htaccess is as follows:

Hello,

My .htaccess now looks like:

You have some "phpbb" left overs in this .htaccess.

Try the one you posted just before with the code I mentioned at the bottom of it.

Oops, sorry. I uploaded all the changes to the forum, and forgot to get a backup copy of just those files, so I reverted the entire website, thus reverting the .htaccess. I'll fix that and try once more, making sure to not restore the entire website.
