Hi there,

I have a few questions about your mod. Here's what I've done...

- Downloaded and installed locally the premod for phpBB3
- Restored a database I have from an online phpBB3, all works great...

All is working great, but the fact that when I activate the SEO the links stop working and I get a 404 error...

The site is allocated in:

localhost/coliseo_test/foro/

The .htaccess is like this:

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 line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
# REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
RewriteEngine On
# REWRITE BASE
RewriteBase /
# HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION

And is placed in localhost/

This is one of my problems, and the other is this...

I have a category called Coliseo, and in it, a forum named Anuncios, inside that forum I have a post called "Volvimos"...

The link to the Anuncios forum reads like this:

-http://localhost/coliseo_test/foro/foro3/

And I want it to read

-http://localhost/coliseo_test/foro/anuncios/

How can I do that?

Thanks,

Javier

Any help with this?

First, make sure that mod_rewrite is activated on your local server, then, this .htaccess is meant for the simple mod, and you seem to want at least the mixed mode for the example url you posted, so, you'll need to select mixed or advanced mode in the url rewriting settings and then generate a new .htaccess.

As well, make sure that you do not keep an .htaccess with rewriterules in it in the forum directory.

About importing the phpBB3 vanilla db in the premod, don't forget that you'll need to run the no dupe SQL query after you do so, to add the proper index on the topic table (look in the no duplicate mod's install, it's a single query to run).
