   Anyone else have this problem with 1and1 ?

   I cannot get pretty permalinks to run, even after following directions.

   I wrote to them

   I am running wordpress and bbpress in the same root directory
   http://mysite.com is wordpress install and
   http://mysite.com/bbpress/ is bbpress install each install has
   it's own .htaccess for using permalinks. Wordpress permalinks work fine
   but I cannot get bbpress pretty permalinks to work at all. I have tried
   different variations of htaccess codes for both files without any
   success. It seems to me that the main root htaccess is overriding the
   /bbpress/ htaccess.

   Any suggestions ?

   This was their reply to me.

   "Dear Cliffmaster, (Customer ID: 6XXXXXXXX)

   Thank you for contacting us.

   With regards to your query,
   we would highly suggest that you install BBpress on a different folder
   and not on folder where you have installed a different CMS (WordPress).

   Please separate the two CMS's by installing them on different folders
   under the root directory (/.)

   If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

   Does this help:

   Your setup is just fine with the directory structure you have setup (WordPress as the root for the domain, bbPress in a subfolder.)

   OMG ! It worked ! Thanks so much chrishajer. But I must add that I moved bbpress to a upper level above my WP install and used a sub domain for the forums. Because following 1and1 instructions stated above in their email response, it did not solve the problem until I placed

   Options -MultiViews

   At the top of the htaccess file.

   Now permalinks work just fine.

   Thanks again !

   It's funny. I have a bbPress forum at 1&1, in a subdirectory of WordPress installation, and I never did get permalinks working (I last tried 18 months or so ago.) Now that you have shown it can be done, I will take my own advice, which was provided here first by hmcnally, and see if I can get them working again.

   Glad it worked for you.
