Hi there

i'm using godaddy's linux hosting with mysql, apache, etc etc... i use wordpress in my website and also bbpress and as i long as i know this hosting does support url rewrite, multiviews, etc..

today i was successful installing the Advanced Mod Re-Write mod for my phpbb 3.0 forum. The Issues Started when i was trying to configurate it.

The urls in my forum are like this:http://www.downloadhentai.net/hforum/http://www.downloadhentai.net/hforum/anime-hentai and of course it doesn't work when you put :http://www.downloadhentai.net/hforum/anime-hentai (it gives you a 404 Error), and also i cannot enter to any thread either... but when i switch the url rewriting off everything goes back to normal...

the content inside my htaccess is:

Code: Select all

# 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 lines
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# To make sure that rewritten dir or file (/|.html) will not load dir.php in case it exist

and this is the one you get by default...

any idea of how to setup this?

thanks!

Did you properly clear the cache? The easiest way to do this in the FTP is to just hop into the cache folder and delete all the files except the .htaccess.

Let us know if that works.

Typo

i already did that... i went to the cache folder and erased all files but not the .htacess

Did you actually installed this .htaccess where the red message of the .htaccess generator told you to, and not anywhere else ?

It should be above the hforum/ directory (also make sure that you did not put one in hforum/).

If this does not solves, try replacing :

Code: Select all

# Options +FollowSymlinks

with :

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymlinks

Or play with the right slash option.

As well, the link you posted :http://www.downloadhentai.net/hforum/anime-hentai

Is not correct, since it should have some suffix. If you removed suffixes, please put them back, as you must use some.
