My .htaccess located in /forums/ had a permission of 644.

I didn’t delete the htaccess, just disabled permalink.. so I still have the contents of the file (I pulled it directly from bbpress rewrite php file):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /forums/

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/page/([0-9]+)$ /forums/forum.php?id=$1&page=$2 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)/?$ /forums/forum.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

I noticed that bbpress doesn’t make use of conditions while wordpress and gallery2 do. I’m kind of frustrated so I’m just going to disable permalinks for now, but I believe that if wordpress and gallery2 work then bbpress should be able to work too. I haven’t figured out how, though; hopefully one of you can since this is a frustrating problem.
