hello ... sorry for the little English but are correct Italian however I have installed the advanced version of the mod for phpbb 2.0.23 that only after having turned the pages. php. html NOT FOUND tells me, as if the page did not exist ....
may depend on what?

Have you implemented your .htaccess where the red message tells you to in the .htaccess generator ?
Does your server allow mod_rewrite ?

where to find the htaccess generator?

Oh sorry, I'm so used to talk about phpBB3 these past times

So, there is no .htaccess generator in the phpBB2 SEO URL mods. But you'll find sample meant to be run in the domain's root with phpBB installed (or not) in a sub dir in the zip package.

Have you tried them ?

Usually, it's only a matter or using the correct paths in the rewriterules.
Where is phpBB installed in the domain, what path from domain's root ?

this is my .htaccess

Code: Select all

# You could need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
#RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

orion is name the folder forum...

So, if I'm correct, you forum is installed in :

Code: Select all

www.example.com/orion/

If so, your .htaccess is almost correct and should be used above the orion/ dir, eg in :

Code: Select all

www.example.com/

And you should not keep any .htaccess in orion/ either.
The error in your .htaccess is in the beginning of each rewriterule :

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule /orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

should be :

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule ^orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

and so on.
If this is not enough, then, try without the right slash, eg :

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule ^orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

becomes :

Code: Select all

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule ^orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

and so on.
If none of this works, make sure you can use mod_rewrite on your host, and eventually play with the left slash :

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule ^orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

becomes :

# CATEGORIES
RewriteRule ^/?orion/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /orion/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

And with combinations (right and left slah etc ..).

Note that you only need to edit and test one rewriterule to find out the proper slash pattern for all.
