Well, I'll keep it on Yahoo for a little bit longer while I finish my attempts at utilizing WordPress to drive the new site design. Then I'll see about launching it on another server. It's bizarre to me that yahoo can't do that, especially seeing that wordpress is an option on the backend server. I appreciate all the help!</p> <p>*Wait, I didn't catch the setting the dang line of code to false. It looks like we're rolling. Just in time for me to be exhausted. Thanks for everything, guys. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13999 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:24:56 +0000 _ck_ 13999@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yahoo has free hosting that has mysql and php support? Wild.</p> <p>But if you are paying for that, you might want to find a real host that allows basic things like .htaccess files - which would be virtually any other host.</p> <p>A quick google shows this is a common complaint about yahoo. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13998 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 08:51:02 +0000 chrishajer 13998@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Don't use permalinks. Find the mod_rewrite line (line 27 in mine) in your config.php and change it to look like this:</p> <p><code>$bb-&gt;mod_rewrite = false;</code></p> <p>That will turn off the permalinks and all the links will work again. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13997 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:35:06 +0000 Racket Magazine 13997@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I use yahoo as my server, and it won't let me create a file starting with a period. I tried naming it without the ., and then renaming it, but it wouldn't let me. What's the next step? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13996 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 01:03:18 +0000 chrishajer 13996@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>No, it is JUST <code>.htaccess</code> - the <code>.</code> indicates it's a hidden file, and there is no file extension. The Apache webserver looks for that file for direction on some hosts. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13989 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:27:08 +0000 Racket Magazine 13989@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>OK, now, bear with me here, as my coding experience is pretty much based on what I learned 8 years ago in some highschool internet class. I am attempting to create this .htaccess file, and when I went to create it, a prompt came up alerting me to the fact that a file starting with a . is reserved for system files. Do I save it with the .? Also, is it a .php file? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13987 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:14:09 +0000 _ck_ 13987@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>You're almost there. You need to either turn on multiviews or rewrite rules in your htaccess file if you want to use slugs. See <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/2">#2</a> or <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/3">#3</a> here:<br /> <a href="http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/documentation/faq/</a><br /> I recommend <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/3">#3</a> even though it's a few more steps.<br /> Some servers don't even support multiviews so <a href="http://trac.bbpress.org/ticket/3">#3</a> is a must. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/huh-i-seem-to-have-mucked-this-up#post-13986 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 21:05:10 +0000 Racket Magazine 13986@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I'm trying to add forums to our website, and was pretty stoked when I finally realized that I was one of the 1% who had to change the localhost tag and got a forum to appear magically where it was supposed to be. But! Now half the links don't work. I seem to be able to create a post, but when I click the button to post it, it sends me to a lovely 404 error, yet the dang thing is posted. I can access the Admin section, but none of the actual forums or any of the profile links work. Did I muck this up or is there something more diabolical at work?
