Hey guys,

I’ve almost finished installing my bbpress on http://www.stereopoly.de/forum but there’s one thing doing wrong: The permalinks. I want to use pretty permalinks, but obviously my server does not support the easy .htaccess thingy (Multi Views).. Thus I have to run http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php right? But if i do so, I will get to the homepage (stereopoly.de/forum)

Any idea, how to solve this problem?

sorry for my bad english, i’m just german

cheers

That is correct. Take the output of that file and put that in your /stereopoly.de/forum/ directory. Multiviews works with most servers I have played with, but had to use the rewrite-rules.php for my latest server.

it does not work so, too.do you mean just copying the “rewrite-rules.php” into the forum-root directory and then try to run it again? I have set

$bb->mod_rewrite = true;

and within my htaccess it’s still said

Options +MultiViews

and then i have to go to http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/rewrite-rules.php , ay?

does not work

Some servers do not support Multiviews.

Try this:

1. $bb->mod_rewrite = false;

2. http://www.stereopoly.de/forum/bb-admin/rewrite-rules.php

3. copy the list

4. put the list into .htaccess

5. remove Options + Multiviews

6. $bb->mod_rewrite = true;

Note the bb-admin in #2.

Thanks for your help, but it does not work

»No input file specified«. So what now?

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Turn off permalinks and leave them off. Then see if your forum works.

$bb->mod_rewrite = false; in config.php.

[@stereopoly Member 16 years, 10 months ago]

then it does work, yes but i’d love to have pretty permalinks

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

One thing at a time. If everything works now, then you know you have a problem with the .htaccess and rewrite rules.

[@_ck_ Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Googling shows that error is caused when running PHP as a CGI and there is a mod_rewrite conflict (or a file does not exist).

I suspect there is a conflict with mod_rewrite rules in the parent folder. Show us your rewrite rules in /.htaccess (probably wordpress stuff but there may be others).

[@stereopoly Member 16 years, 10 months ago]

this is what my htacces looks like in my root:

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.stereopoly.de$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.stereopoly.de/$1 [L,R=301]

Redirect /feed feed://feeds.feedburner.com/stereopoly

I have the same issue , and i think there’s a conflict between the two htaccess files!

@stereopoly , does your forum work correctly with the existence of htaccess file in the forum folder ?
