I have a forum and it worked for some days, so there were some posts in it.
Yesterday, I installed the rewrite mod(advanced), and I found all links didn't work, so I install the zero dupe(simple).
But it seemed that this didn't work either.
Does only zero dupe(advanced) work with the rewrite mod(advanced)?
Should I install zero dupe before installing the rewrite mod?
Thank you very much.

did you edit the .htaccess when installing the mod?
the zero dupe won't solve your link problem

oops,
Thanks.

Sorry, but it didn't work again.

This is the .htaccess code in the root:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/index\.html$ /forum/index.php [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*/([^/]+\.html)$ /forum/index.php [R=301,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-c([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-f([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewforum.php?f=$1&start=$2 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-f([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewforum.php?f=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-t([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewtopic.php?t=$1&start=$2 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/[a-z0-9_-]*-t([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewtopic.php?t=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/post([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC]
RewriteRule ^forum/member([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=$1 [QSA,L,NC]


When I upload this to the server, a internal server error occured(500), please help.

Sorry for my stupid questions.


p.s.: it is phpbb 2.0.23

I am no expert in apache but I believe if you get a 500 that means something is wrong with your .htaccess. Do you have mod_rewrite activated?

yes, I installed the rewrite mod first, after that I found I hadn't upload the .htaccess file to the root of the server.

But when I uploaded it to the server, it shew me the error

that htaccess file works fine on my server. Does your host allow you to .htaccess files?

I solved this problem.
The .htaccess file should be ANSI format, I wrote it in Unicode.

ooohh. Glad you fixed it.

Yes.

You should install it after, once it's up and running (this is the only reason why it's released separately, we need url rewriting up for the zero dupe).
