Help neededPosted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 9:17 am    Post subject: Help needed

Hi,

first of all i want to thank you in the name of all users for doing such a great thing to phpbb community. I started this site http://www.cilipi.net as a small portal without much knowlodge of making websites. It took me 6 months to make as it is now. I use Joomla with some html of my own, and with phpbb forum. Last week succesfuly installed seo for joomla and i want to do it with my phpbb now.

Joomla has .htacess file that i have in my root folder of site. My forum is in /forum directory. I tried reading all informations about advanced seo rewrite mod but i dodnt want to start installing it bcs i wasn't sure about some things, couldnt understand them. English is not mine native language and some things confuse me Crying or Very sad

Laughing

Ok. As i understood, first of all i need to install that GUEST session MOD right? After that i am ready to start seo mod installation.

What am i consfused about is .htaccess file. As i mentioned i have one in my root directory od site. i dont understand what is the root of my forum, probably a /forum directory where my index.php of forum is located. It is not stated a direct location where to put .htaccess file placed in zip file of mod.

So, if i have .htaccess file modified for my site right now do i have to add lines in it or i have to put a .htaccess file in /forum directory.

I hope we will install this for me Smile

Lets start from this..

Thank you guys

Default for phpBB .htaccess is the domains root (not phpBB's root), but you can as well add it in the phpBB dir ( changing the rewritebase).

Post here your joomla's .htaccess and your phpBB one, and I'll tell you how to merge the two or to add the phpBB one in it's install dir.

By the way, nice site Wink

rewritecond %{http_host} ^cilipi.net [nc]

rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.cilipi.net/$1 [r=301,nc]


It was a htaccess.txt which i renamed to .htacess and modified as suggested on some forums to work with my SEO on Cilipi.net.

Thanks a lot mate:)

So, you should be able to merge the two .htaccess if you just add the one generated for phpBB3 starting from :
Code:
# REWRITE BASE


in the phpBB3's.htaccess code and until the end, and put this part right after :

Code:
RewriteEngine On


in the one you posted.

Post here the phpBB3 .htaccess you get if you have trouble merging it.

Ho but your forum is indeed installed in it's domain's root (a sub domain is a domain), so you should just use the root install .htaccess in phpBB's dir (the sub domain's root).
