  .htaccess problem

  29 July 2008 at 5:40am

  Hi

  I've got a working install of SS in /. Very nice btw.
  But I also got a phpbb forum in myserver/forum.

  Problem is, as you may have guessed, that .htaccess breaks the forum.
  So right now I've got it renamed, and forum is working and SS is not :)

  I have tried to fix it with my limited knowledge of .htaccess/apache but even with the help of google it's not enough it seems. I was wondering if there's any .htaccess guru present that could steer me towards some resource which would let me make a hardlink to http://myserver/forum and let the rewriting occur in the rest of the dirs?

  Thanks

  Hi it's me again.

  Just began playing with it and found a working solution. Just added the following line AFTER the SS section:

  RewriteRule ^subdir/([0-9]+)-([a-z]+) http://forum.mydomain.tld [NC]

  Both the forum and the page work

  Thanks to all who thought on my problem :)

  So It seems I did rejoice before time! :)

  The forum is seen only if you know a "long" link, kind like:

  forum.mydomain.tld/page?blabla_bla_and_whatnot

  but if you attempt to simply go to

  forum.mydomain.tld

  no joy! :(

  So if anyone knows of any solutions to this little problem or has any suggestion of any kind, I'll be grateful.

  Thanks

  I made the forum a separate alias in Apache /html/forum and /html/public so separate folders, and created a /forum alias on Apache...

  What I did before that, and actually have gone back to, is:

  Create a Redirector Page with the URI of /forum, and have it redirect to /forum/index.php - see the screenshot below.
  This also allows me to have a link to the forum in the navigation as if it was any other page :)
