EDIT: found out why... ht access in second forum was rewriting everything back to first... mods can delete this post if you want! thanks

Hi, im trying to make a copy of my forum (/forum/) to another directory (/other_forum/) and im trying to figure out something weird with phpBB seo.

In the phpbb seo config file for the second forum, i replaced

Code: Select all

$script_path = trim($config['script_path'], '/');

With

Code: Select all

$script_path = "other_fourm";

So that URLs wouldnt automatically link back to the original forum. Links are no /other_forum/forum-f1.html

This works find on the index page, but if i go into a forum, the links go back to being wrong: /forum/forum-f1.html

I cant find any recurences of the line i edited - can anyone help?

Thanks

If both forums do not use the same db, you can just update the config in acp for script path, and then update generate a .htaccess meant for the new dir.
otherwise, what you did is correct, at least for rewritten urls, they will all use the new dir with your tweak.
