To eliminate WordPress as a possible problem, I have tried a fresh install of BBPress 0.8.3 in a new directory ~/make2for1_com/ for a throwaway domain I had laying around http://make2for1.com/ The database is a freshly created MySQL 4 db. PHP is using version 4.4.7 The .htaccess uses the code generated with http://make2for1.com//bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php and nothing else. The config is the sample file with all the appropriate blanks filled in and nothing more.

$bb->mod_rewrite = ‘slugs’; is set.

Trying to get to a profiles produces a 404. Trying to read a discussion produces a 404. If I change $bb->mod_rewrite = false; it works.
