MyBB Community Forums

Detailed description of your problem, including steps to reproduce if necessary - Well, I have the .htaccess uploaded and it is .htaccess, but, turning SEF URLs on gives me a 404 error .. It's a 1and1 hosting package - I'm not the buyer, I got a subdomain from my friend, who has one.
URL to your forum/URL to specific problematic page - http://ishock.stirk.org/forum/forum-2.html
New installation or upgrade (from which version of MyBB)? New install of 1.41
Screenshot or error text, verbatim - http://ishock.stirk.org/forum/forum-2.html


Soo, I really want SEF URLs, but they don't seem to want to work. I have no control panel, error log, or SSH access, however. =[

FYI, the SEO URLs don't work on all servers. 1&1 just might be the one that is incompatible. Can you ask your friend whether he is on a 1&1 Linux or Microsoft server?

Also try a mod_rewrite test script...

I know it's Linux - http://ishock.stirk.org/phpinfo.php - And I'll try the test script.

EDIT: Tried the test script, and it worked. Here's what I did:

# Set up mod_rewrite
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
#
# Rules follow
#
# For use in httpd.conf (server configuration):
#RewriteRule ^/check/1\.php$ /index.php [L]
#
# For use in .htaccess (per directory)
RewriteRule ^view\/index$ /index.php [L]

http://ishock.stirk.org/ and http://ishock.stirk.org/view/index both work.
