First of all sorry for my bad english!

I have installed the adv_phpbb3_mod_rewriteV0-4-8
all goes nice, i have the phpbb3 in a folder "forum" so i modified the .htaccess and put it in the forum folder

I enabled the url rewriting in the control panel and checked the urls in the chache, all seems to be ok.

the problem is that when i open the page of the forum the url's are not rewrited (i have tryed several times to empty the forum cache anc browser cache...)
I done another test, i tried to access directlly to the rewrited url like:
http://www.website.com/forum/forumname-f15.html
and it work just fine, it show me the forum page!

Some one have an idea of what i can do?

Here I post my .htaccess and the settings of the cache_config

Code: Select all

please, no one have an idea?

is it possible to force the url rewriting in some config file in the source code... I think that is some config that don't let the url been rewrited!

If forumname-f15.html works, then the .htaccess is ok, if activating url rewriting has no effect, it could mean two things.

Does the option stay checked when you submit ? If no, then make sure you properly CHMOD the phpbb_seo/cache/ dir and the files in it.

If not enough, then, you most likely miss some code, could be in includes/functions.php, in the append_sid() function code, make sure you have the proper code there, and then in all other files.

It's most likely in append_sid if all link stay unrewritten.
