Url rewriting doesn't appear to be turned on Then how does the forum know that http://iptalk.pro/patents-f2 means to point to http://iptalk.pro/viewforum.php?f=2 ? I don't even know if phpbbSEO is installed because I don't see any links to this site in the footer. Is there some default option that ...

You should also have .htaccess and .htaccess.current in that same directory. Nope, they're not there. What should they look like? Here's phpbb_cache.php.current: <?php /** * phpBB_SEO Class * www.phpBB-SEO.com * @package Advanced phpBB3 SEO mod Rewrite */ if (!defined('IN_PHPBB')) { exit; } $this->...

Stephen, I get the same error (505 + 404) when I try to access that file via a browser (whether I am logged in or not).

To confirm, there are three files in my [webroot]/phpbb_seo/cache/ folder, phpbb_cache.php, phpbb_cache.php.current, and phpbb_cache.php.old.

Obviously the object $phpbb_seo isn't being instantiated. Either something's not being "include"d properly or some part of the install went wrong or... who knows? The install seemed to run pretty smooth. Can I run the install script again without adverse consequences? Or will that not help?

OK, I commented out the error check, and when I ran the script again, this is what I got: Attention, do not stop the script until it ends, and back up your db before you use it! • Start topic URLs synchronization • Reset all topic URLs I clicked on the first link to start, and that brought me to thi...

...and all the formatting disappears, as if the CSS is no longer found. Bug or feature?

http://iptalk.pro/patents-f2

seems to work fine... but add a slash to the end of the URL, like so... [have to do it in reply because of 1 URL per post limitation]

I have SQL rewriting set to Yes in the ACP and I still get the error.

I'm not sure what triggers it, but somehow the phpbb_cache.php file changes the permissions on itself to rw------- (600). Even so, the file continues to state that 'url_rewrite' => true and 'sql_rewrite' => true.

Are the /phpbb_seo/cache/ directory + phpbb_cache.php writeable? The cache directory stays writable but for some reason the phpbb_cache.php file has become unwriteable twice after I chmodded it. In any case, it does have url_rewrite set to true (didn't require manual modification and re-uploading)....

Having the same problem (only I'm using advanced mode). I followed the install instructions exactly. Did you find a solution, raster?
