Installed the premod tonight and getting 404's when I click on:

I think that's all. I've spent about 3 hours scouring this forum looking for the solution and I'm sure it is the .htaccess, but have no idea where. Here it is:
| Code: | Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?fid=$1 [L]
# You may need to un-comment the following line

Some things I've tried:
1. all the options under ".htaccess More Options"
2. uploaded to my live server (in case issue was with my testing server rewrite being enabled. I had a diff url rewrite mod installed previously so I didn't think this was the issue, but wanted to make sure.)
3. commenting/uncommenting "Options +FollowSymlinks"
.htaccess is in my root.
I think that's it. Any ideas?
Thanks |

Could you post here you old .htaccess, from the slashes used in it, we should be able to tell which one are needed for the new one.
The idea is only to reproduce the same slashes pattern.
As is, the .htaccess you posted is meant to be used in the domain's root, where phpBB should as well be installed. The left slash (the one after ^) is only rarely required, you could give a try without. |

This is the .htaccess from when I had the previous url rewrite mod:
| Code: | <Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
RewriteEngine on
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&$3
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&start=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&start=$4&$5
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*).html$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&$3
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*).html$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&start=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&start=$4&$5
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html |

This .htaccess is most likely what's causing trouble.
I don't know how you merged it, but you should add :
| Code: | Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&$3
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&start=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html-(.+)$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&start=$4&$5
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*).html$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&$3
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*).html$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-f([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html$ ./viewforum.php?f=$2&start=$3&$4
Rewriterule ^(.+)-(t|p)([0-9]*)s([0-9]*).html$ ./viewtopic.php?$2=$3&start=$4&$5 |
After :
| Code: | | # HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD OTHER PHPBB RELATED REWRITERULES |
in the phpbb3 generated one.
| Code: | Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
AddType application/x-httpd-cgi .cgi
AddType text/x-server-parsed-html .html |
This should be added at the very top of it.
Then, you should delete :
| Code: | # You may need to un-comment the following line
Options +FollowSymlinks
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?fid=$1 [L] |
And add :
| Code: | RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?fid=$1 [L] |
at the same position as your other old rewriterules.
For the slashes, you only seem to need the right one, which is default for the .htaccess generator. |

The code from my second post wasn't in my current htaccess file. It was the code from an old htaccess file in a completely diff directory.
At any rate, it's fixed. I completely cleared my current htaccess file, generated new code in the ucp and then added
| Code: | RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteRule ^forum-([0-9]+).xml$ sitemap.php?fid=$1 [L] |
to the old rules section. All's well that ends well. Thank you for the help. |

Is there a delay between when I make a change to my .htaccess on my live server and when it takes effect? After getting my local test server to work with this mod I migrated it to my live server but I'm getting nothing but 404's.
I wrote a post that described all the steps I took yesterday (15 hours worth) but I guess I took too long writing it because when I posted it the log in screen popped up and the post was gone. I'm certainly not going to rewrite it but trust me when I say that in 15 excruciating hours yesterday I tried every concievable combination, every concievable solution, every concievable idea that popped into my feeble little mind and all's I get are gd 404's. The only thing left to consider is a delay on the server side.
Sorry, but I'm really frustrated.
Here's my code:
| Code: | # Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
# You may need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /

Eureka. Figured it out. Had nothing to do with the .htaccess. |

When I originally set up the forum, it was in -www.domain.com. A few weeks later I moved it to a subdomain, but never changed the server info in the acp. So, when I migrated the mod to my live server it was redirecting me to -www.domain.com addresses (which were of course 404) instead of -www.subdomain.domain.com. I read one of your responses to someone else (about some other issue) and you mentioned that the server info in the acp controls, well, whatever it controls, so I thought I would take a peek. I changed that setting and everything works like a charm now.
I wish I knew this stuff better. I could have spent those 15 hours doing something else. Live and learn I guess.
