Hello - I have moved my website to another host 1and1 webhosting as it happens.
Previously, I had SEO friendly URLs and now these don't work.
I've confirmed the following:
- Apache HTTP server with mod_rewrite enabled
- Apache: using an htaccess file, changed the name from htaccess.txt to .htaccess
Change the settings by enabling SEO friendly URLs - tried using auto detection too (or should this be selected as well as checking the 'Yes' button next to 'Enable search engine friendly URLs in Archive?'
My htaccess file is as follows:
Options -MultiViews +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
#
# If mod_security is enabled, attempt to disable it.
# - Note, this will work on the majority of hosts but on
# MediaTemple, it is known to cause random Internal Server
# errors. For MediaTemple, please remove the block below
#
<IfModule mod_security.c>
# Turn off mod_security filtering.
SecFilterEngine Off
# The below probably isn't needed, but better safe than sorry.
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
#
# MyBB "search engine friendly" URL rewrites
# - Note, for these to work with MyBB please make sure you have
# the setting enabled in the Admin CP and you have this file
# named .htaccess
#
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

After spending over an hour on the phone with the support at 1and1, they've told me to find new script for the htaccess file, as this is too complicated.
The forum works if I change the htaccess file back to the default for version 1.8.10 and turn off SEO friendly.
What happens is I get a page not found error e.g. http://in-business.org.uk/forum/forum-2.html
Please help.
Thank you.
I have solved this using this YouTube video thank you to ExpatKings
