article_info.php ?

I just upgraded my phpBB to the latest version and also installed the advanced mod rewrite from this site. I have a single forum post that is redirecting to /article_info.php for some reason. There is no article_info.php in my .htaccess or in my database or in any files anywhere on my server.

All other topics are displayed fine, except for this one:

Go to this link: http://all-in-general.com/forum/fishing-reports-f30.html
and select the first topic, titled "Bass Fishing Tonight - A few Pics"

The URL looks like it should send me to http://all-in-general.com/forum/bass-fishing-tonight-a-few-pics-t420.html but instead, it sends me to a 404 that says that article_info.php cannot be found.

I can get to the post OK by going here:
http://all-in-general.com/forum/post670.html

- - added info - -

I can also get to the post just fine by going to blahblah-t420.html - weird, huh?

Can someone tell me what the problem is here? Thanks in advance!

And welcome Very Happy

Unfortunately, your site is currently unreachable from where I stand, could just be some temporary rooting or DNS issue, but I just cannot check.

The error you describe though is really strange, and make me think about an issue I once had using kerio firewall, it was randomly loading uri from other tabs in FF2, asking for uri from a tab on another one.
And it was as well perturbing IE6 the same kind of way, using random uri from the cache it seems while browsing, and all this, not all the time.

Was hard to find, but, everything came back to normal after I started using another firewall.

So, until I can check, you can try with several browser from several locations, just in case.

All right I see it now, really strange, I get the same error.

Could you post your .htaccess here please ?

As well, you still need to install the cyber alien guest sessions mod as suggested in the install and release thread.

arrghh!! I hate being retreaded! lol

There *was* an entry in my .htaccess that was redirecting the phpBB redirect.

RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-(.*).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

(this is a OSCommerce redirect that's not even being used at the moment)

*grumble*

Thanks for telling me to post my .htaccess here...it made me look at it a little closer (although, I thought I had grep'd through it for article_info, apparently it was missed due to being a hidden file) *grumble* again.

Thanks for looking dcz.

You're welcome, don't forget the last touch, as well as the guest sessions mod Wink
