 Posted: Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:17 pm Post subject: SEO Site Not Working |
|
|
I recently installed the SEO pre mod version and everything appeared to work properly except when I click on a topic I get the 404 error. My site is at http://www.musclecarszone.com/forums
I contacted my hosting provider to see if my mod_rewrite was enabled and they assured me it was. They told me that their appears to be a problem with my .htaccess file. Here are the contents of that file. Can anyone assist?
| 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>

This .htaccess is meant to be used in the domain's root dir, eg one level above the forum/ dir.
You as well need to make sure you do not leave any .htaccess in the forum/ dir in such case.
If it does not work once done, try to get rid of the right slashes in the rewriterules :
| Quote: | | RewriteRule ^forum/forum([0-9]+)(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ /forum/viewforum.php?f=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC] |
becomes :
| Quote: |
RewriteRule ^forum/forum([0-9]+)(-([0-9]+))?\.html$ forum/viewforum.php?f=$1&start=$3 [QSA,L,NC] |
and so on.
You have many option if you hit the "more options" option of the .htaccess generator in ACP. One can be used to locate the .htaccess in the phpBB root dir if you prefer.

Cool, I had no idea about the .htaccess needing to be moved up into the parent site. I had another .htaccess on the parent root.
At any rate, it worked like a charm. Thanks!!  |
