Hey Kraven,
I have waded through all 22 pages of support on this forum, and still can't figure out what's wrong with my mod_rewrite. I installed and tried to check the mod_rewrite by logging out and deleting cookies. The mouseover for the forum read like it was being rewritten, ie:

mysite.com/boards/forums/phpBB2/forum-1.html

But once clicked I got an error 404. I know for a fact the server has mod_rewrite enabled, I use it on my postnuke part of the site. I have not modified the .htaccess file at all, and it resides in the forum root folder. Any ideas?
Great mod, thanks for your time

sorry, I noticed I just did two things wrong on that last post.
1. I meant to reply to that topic, not make a new one
2. Your name is spelled with a C, so I am sorry about butchering the spelling of your name!!! THanks again!

the same
yeah, it's the same code.... I checked it out. I even uploaded your .htaccess info just to make sure on that part of the code. Any ideas?

I get the same problem with 2.0.7.

Tried over two days, and the issues I'm having are the same as above. Log out, link into a forum, and get a 404.

I am running mod_rewrite from a virtual conf file, and do some other rewrites in a custom compiled apache. I commented out all other rewrites, and still get the 404 error.

Here's a sample error from my log files, and just so happened that google hit it at the same time:

Code:172.16.225.55 - - [13/Sep/2004:10:01:18 -0700] "GET /forum-8.html HTTP/1.1" 404 10132 "http://www.myforum_dot_com/index.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"
64.68.83.228 - - [13/Sep/2004:10:01:19 -0700] "GET /forum-8.html HTTP/1.1" 404 10133 "-" "Mediapartners-Google/2.1"
64.68.83.228 - - [13/Sep/2004:10:01:20 -0700] "GET /forum-8.html HTTP/1.1" 404 10133 "-" "Mediapartners-Google/2.1"
172.16.225.55 - - [13/Sep/2004:10:01:21 -0700] "GET /forum-2.html HTTP/1.1" 404 10132 "http://www.myforum_dot_com/index.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)"

Wait, this mod assumes that you have a /forums directory, right?

I have phpbb in the root directory mixed with html files. index.php is not my directoryindex page.

Can we just remove the first rewrite rule?

got it
Ok, I think i figured it out. If you are getting a 404 page, try adding this to the top of your .htaccess page:

Code:RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
rewriteBase /


Hope this helps!

rewriteBase provides an error, either in the rewriteengine on or outside of the block.

I did add the +FollowSymlinks, as my phpbb is in a soft link. Everything was working fine before though.

Still the same error message.

Here's what's in my exisiting rewrite:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.website\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(html|htm|pl|php|jsp)$ http://www.website.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Even with that out, no dice. Oh, and code was downloaded from here!!!!

The first rule (if you mean the forums.html one) is not engaged by the php end of the rewriting, so it's irrelevant (I left it in just for testing).

Please post your rewrite rules.

As above. I added the copy and paste block above, too. Tested with no other rewrites, and combining rewrites. Also with:

ipconfig /flushdns
and clear cache, close and relaunch browser(s), ie and mozilla.

Here's my apache build:

Code:./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-module=most --activate-module=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --add-module=src/modules/mod_bandwidth.c --enable-module=so --enable-module=ssl


apache 1.3.31, php 4.3.7

Have you tried the rules in an .htaccess file in the forum directory, as the mod says to?

No, .htaccess is just an extension for the same entries in a proper httpd.conf file.

I can try it, but the net result would (in theory) be exactly the same.

I don't have much time this week, but maybe on the weekend I can go through everything line by line and test further.

I do have the attachment mod installed in phpbb, and have modified some embedded html for ad tags.

.htaccess file locations lend relative path logic that can't always be duplicated by using the exact same rules in httpd.conf, sometimes the rules need to be altered.

I'm not going to argue the difference between htaccess and httpd.conf.

The rewrite rules WORK. The error is a 404 page.

syntrix,

The 404 error is indicative of the specific rules not working and attempting to rewrite to a file that is non-existent (at the location it's attempting to rewrite to), but in any case I'll let you figure it out.
