Hi,

i installed the mod rewrite.

It works with the categories, but the post are wrong :
it's just a number.htm instead of title.htm and the link is wrong.

see : http://www.mccartneyyears.net/forum

The Advanced MOD rewrite is the one that injects titles into your post URL's.

i'm using SID Mod, maybe that's a reason?

It really looks like you installed the mixed mod rewrite version, the advanced one would never output url such as topicxx.html for topics, only topic-txx.html could occur on a wrong install.

It could as well be because you are still using the mixed version of the phpbb_seo_class.php file, and in deed installed the advanced mod code change in phpBB.

thanks
i'll check that later.

And if you click in the forum link in the menu : http://www.mccartneyyears.net/forum/index.html

You have a message error :

Multiple Choices
The document name you requested (/forum/index.html) could not be found on this server. However, we found documents with names similar to the one you requested.
Available documents:

/forum/index.php (common basename)
Please consider informing the owner of the referring page about the broken link.

For the index.html, you need the proper rewriterule in your .htaccess, you should have something like :

You need to generate a new .htaccess and install it IMHO.

i thought it was that but

i don't know how to do it in the acp
and there's already a rewriter of forum.php and member.php

I don't understand the end : and install it IMHO

install htacces or IMHO

What is IMHO?

IMHO is an acronym for "In my humble opinion".

Here is a nice list of the most spread ones : http://kb.iu.edu/data/adkc.html

For the rest, please RTFM Wink

The install file gives you the required step to follow for a smooth install.
