Can you try disabling mod_rewrite in your config.php and see if it works?</p> <p><code>$bb-&gt;mod_rewrite = false;</code> </p> <p>If your forum works after that, then you need to do some work with your .htaccess and rewrite rules, or just leave non-pretty permalinks. But try that first, I think that's why you're getting 404 errors.</p> <p>You didn't mess up anything I don't think. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/installation-gone-awry-sub-folders-not-created#post-13385 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 20:47:40 +0000 sydspinnin 13385@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I installed bbPress into my WP directory such that its index.php lives here: <a href="http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/</a></p> <p>The admin tool seems to work fine. I am able to create topics and whatnot, see users, and all that. BUT, when I click on a topic, I receive file not found message. </p> <p>For example, I went to add a new test topic:<br /> <a href="http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/?new=1" rel="nofollow">http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/?new=1</a></p> <p>And when I clicked [Send Post], instead of seeing the post or some other page displayed, I received an error for this url:</p> <p><a href="http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/topic/3?replies=1#post-3" rel="nofollow">http://stlrevolution.com/teamrev/forums/topic/3?replies=1#post-3</a></p> <p>When I look in the forums folder, there is no "topic" folder, so I'm wondering what exactly I messed up during installation. Please advise. Thank you. </p>
