I have a problem with my SEF URL, I changed the name of htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enable GZIP page compression with Level set to 9.
but now my url of my threads , forums etc are not working. they give me error of 404 page not found. My server supports Mod Rewrite . I have enabled it on my other forum hosted on same server and it is working fine.

first it would be better to disable gzip compression AND then check .. !!

You need to enable a setting too.

Go to Admin CP > Configuration > Settings > Server and Optimization Options > Enable search engine friendly URLs? > Enabled.

Links are working fine with gzip compression disabled.
with enabled setting links are not working
ok the .htaccess file in my 2nd forum (the faulty one whose links are not working) contains
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

but the 1st forum is working fine and has:
RewriteBase /forum/
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
the 2nd forum is hosted on a subdomain, site.mywebsite.com
and the 1st forum whose links are working fine is hosted in a sub-directory
www.mywebsite.com/forum
May be it is a fault of .htaccess with RewriteBase code?
