I have big problem with virtual folders.

Hi. I want to use virtual folders. I had my phpbb 3.0.1 forum with Simple SEO working no problem.

Today I come on, and my forum is messed up. The images are broken (the URL to images is incorrect), when I click "Post New Topic" and some other links, I get "404 Page Not Found" (actual location of posting.php is root/posting.php, but because of virtual folder, it goes to root/f#/posting.php), and the CSS stylesheet doesn't open because the URL points to wrong location.

Is there a way to keep using virtual folder for my forums, and to fix this issue, without having to put my full domain in front of every image and stylesheet? And how do I fix the URL of the broken links?

My forum is at http://abetalk.com

Did you include a base tag?

Hi. I have new problem. When I log into admin control panel, I am redirected to forum index.

Do you have any ideas?

Could be your domain/cookie/script path settings for phpBB. Make sure you have the proper values set in the phpbb_config table. If you make some change directly in the db, do not forget to clear phpBB's cache after Wink

Hmm, nope. The cookie was fine. But I did find the solution to the problem.

There was a variable called {SEO_BASE_HREF} that went after the opening Head tag in the file overall_header.html. It seems that I updated it in the prosilver templates file, however the template that was loaded in the mysql database didn't have that variable yet. So I removed the base tag I put in manually, and replaced it with that variable, and now it works fine.

Problem was missing variable {SEO_BASE_HREF}.

Thanks for the help. Peace.
