hey how you doing dzw

I installed seo urlv2 from phpbb, and I found out that it was not the best
so I found yours in google......

ok, let's get into the problems...

here is my suitation

I myself had made a subdomain for my domain jwxinst.q168.net
as you know, when you creat a subdomain by cpanel
the system will creat a directory, and in this case, I create a subdomain "services"

so my subdomain is:
http://services.jwxinst.q168.net/

all right.... so I installed my phpBB2.0.22 in public_html/services/**

so it really doesn't matter about which to use....
you can access phpBB by either

http://jwxinst.q168.net/services

or via subdomain

http://services.jwxinst.q168.net/
well I perfer the subdomain.....

I had installed the cyber alien mod, and plus yours simple rewrite mod, and no any other mods....

I upload .htaccess from contrib\htaccess\english\folder_install

and I put it inside "services", and the robot.txt as well.....

so I checked.... everything seems working fine but few issues....
please first click on the subdomain
http://services.jwxinst.q168.net/

issues (1)
when I access via that subdomain, and clicked on the phpBB logo

the url appeared to be http://services.jwxinst.q168.net/index.html
and the pages access as " The page cannot be found"

if I click on "yourdomain.com ", it still access "the page canoot be found"

issues (2)
so I went back to your isntruction, and I opened up the phpbb_seo_class.php....
I did changed 'index' => '' to 'index' => 'index.html'
so I keep looking down to see the codes...

I add .html(as shown in red) to the following code

dcz

And welcome Very Happy

So First thing, it's not your goal to allow access to your phpBB install via two different domains (a sub-domain is a domain Wink

)

And that's the cause for almost all your issues here, as on one side (the main domain one) it's installed in the service/ folder, and on the other hand (subdomain case) it's installed at the (sub-)domain's root.

You must make a choice here, either sub or main domain.

So if you prefer the sub-domain setting, you should use the root_install .htaccess in the service/ folder.

Implementing the www prefix redirection in it will make sure no access from the main domain will be allowed (everything will be HTTP 301 redirected to the sub domain).

So this make a clue for issue 1) Wink

Issue 2) :
Just do not change :

Forgot to mention, if you plan to migrate from SEO URL V2 to one of the phpBB SEO mod rewrite, please start a new topic for this, as there are some additional steps to follow to migrate properly (HTTP redirect everything Wink

)

oh man(sorry for register a new account beacuse something wrong...I can't tell you at this movment, beacuse may confuse you a bit...)

you got patient helping everyone in the form for support
I'm gracfully thank you for your replies

well, I'm a newbie for Apache server, like making changing for Apache
i'm quite okay with the programming but not this....

I finally thought that if using subdomain will be kind of messy....
i want to get some helps for simple domain....
okay now I had my phpbb files and sud-folder under public_html/fourm/**
right?

so I want to access domain like http://www.jwxinst.q168.net/forum/**
I looked at your referrences and I currently not getting it....

I did uploaded .htaccess (\folder_install) under /forum/**
and if you access http://jwxinst.q168.net/forum/
the url will redirect to http://www.jwxinst.q168.net/forum/
I think this is a setting by the server itself....

so I went to the control panel and for the cofing, I renew all the setting

and no matter which prefix you are access by...
either with www. or without www
all pages that has .html are currently not working, getting a 404 error

issues (1)
what was wrong with my htaccess setting?

issues (2)
how do i use rewrite base + cond to impenemt that www.jwxinst.q168.net/forum/ is only to use, not jwinst.q168.net/forum/ ?

I really don't understand a bit of these code

i had done all my best and did not working
and plus, I didn't know if the host had already turn on "mod rewrite" for all customers
but I want to knwo if there is anything I could try to test if mod rewrite is turn on for my server

dcz

The easiest way to make sure about mod_rewrite is to do the following :

Make a basic html page, with some content in it, just t o make sure you'll recognize it while browsing, and name it found.html

Then upload it on your ftp, at the root level.

Then use this as your root's .htaccess

oh great, the webpage appeared!!
i had tested 3 times

first time, htaccess only contains

dcz

Then, it must be working with the proper .htaccess. Maybe we can continue this in the mod rewrite you're using forum Wink

i had a blog system
in the cpanel it had an optoion for Apache URL Rewrite
I turned it on and the url became url-htm
so i believed that mod rewrite is absoultely working at this movment
but the htaccess
