I've just tried to have a proper go of this on my religion forums - I did try very hard to follow the instructions as entirely and *only* described in the original post - - - but I have a problem I'm afraid I don't understand, and input would be much much appreciated.
The problem is that every single link leads to a 404. I have an index page with no working links.
However, a couple of things don't look as planned and this may help diagnose the problem:
I tried to follow CSGAL's method of using .htaccess to rename all boards on a forum.
Yet whether I include the rewrites for my individual board names -
or not - in the .htaccess file, all of my board names are rewritten
anyway.
So whether I include:
RewriteEngine on
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^thread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^lastpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^newpostinthread([0-9]+).html$ showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^forum([0-9]+).html$ forumdisplay.php?f=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^belief-spirituality.html$ forumdisplay.php?f=12 [L]
or not, my boards still have their names rewritten - for example, the above forum is rewritten as:
/community/belief-and-spirituality.html
Another odd thing is that my sub-forums are all showing with the link:
/community/.html
And that's with - or without - the .htaccess file editing.
None of the "newpostinthread2333.html" etc links work either - absolutely every forum link goes to a 404.
Any ideas whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I'll keep the forum closed down for the time being until I can get this figured out - at least for today.
Help. Please?
