Hey DCZ since you are the SEO master when it comes to phpbb you got my site going once and I have nothing short but excellent results using your mods. With that said I have had some problem with hackers on my CMS NOT my phpbb board but since they are whipping out everything I am having to do back-ups. well the last two back-ups I have had no problem. The last back-up they installed tonight though as screwed my rewrite up and I am not sure where i need to look first to get this back to normal. My urls look like this.

-http://www.mydomain.com/forum/forum3.html

Which normally works and has been working but something has been deleted or is messed up that is keeping this URLs from working. So is their something I need to look into to get this working. I currently have a more recent back-up installing and I hope it works but in the mean time if it doesn't what can I do.

-Thanks

It's most likely an .htaccess problem. If your host did reinstall your website's server, it could be some miss configuration of the mod_rewrite module as well, but I doubt.

Make sure you have the proper rewriterules in your current .htaccess.

Thanks for the reply. I did get it figured out. for some reason their were two .htaccess files in the same dir. deleted one and everything is back to normal.
