Re: [Revised] vBulletin Mod_rewrite Tutorial

**From the original thread

Sorry to be a pain but I would love this hack to work but I have obviously done something wrong

the forums come up correctly but I get a 404 error on every page. I have redone the hack from start three times now but the same thing always happens

You can see at www.forums.ic-games.co.uk

Any idea whats up? I have tried to read as much of this thread as I can put its getting on 12 pages and I may have missed something.

Any help appreciated

Re: [Revised] vBulletin Mod_rewrite Tutorial

How would I know that rewrites are activated on the server? Having problems doing this hack yet everyone else has success :p

My last guess is that I cannot do this on our server?

However the "/" error is still not fixed on the instructions and the last code changes feature repeated steps. Could someone clean up the original instructions as its a nightmare in its current form and obviously people (me anyway :p) are still visiting this thread for the first time

Re: [Revised] vBulletin Mod_rewrite Tutorial

Easy way to check if it's working or not is to upload the phpinfo file. Search the results for mod_rewrite. If it's listed an installed module under the Apache heading then it's there and running, if it doesn't show up then it hasn't been installed.

Re: [Revised] vBulletin Mod_rewrite Tutorial

In the multiple pages of replies to the original thread, many amendments / other ideas were discussed. This thread simply implements some of those other ideas, so one doesn't have to read through so many posts.

Re: [Revised] vBulletin Mod_rewrite Tutorial

Small issue.

I did everything, ran it, looked fine got error pages. Changed the .htaccess as suggested by another poster - looked great.

One problem remains

One of my forum "headers" and one of my forum "links" shared the same name, so the generated HTML was identical for two different sections.

I went into the admin section and renamed the forum link prt to add an additional word but the html didn't update leaving two links with the same name.

As a result clicking either of these givees a popup saying:

Quote ...
f2-name-of-file is not a registered protocol
How can I fix this? Also does this mean when I add new forums to the site they wont be updated either?

Actually looking further into it the original file name has a semi colon : in it. I'm wondering if that is causing a problem?
