I recently installed a forum on the site and now want to allow access to the forum but I don't know how to do it. So, everytime people want to do anything on the forum ( www.rsmaker.com/forums ), it will show no access.

So, how do I allow /forums/ access?

I could swear to god that Matt replied here just now. Where is it? lol..

Seriously, when you clicked the link, you will see the forum yes but try exploring it by clicking any links on it..you'll see what I meant.

Sorry, I replied then but saw the code box had a scroll bar and I'd missed a load of code, my post was useless so I deleted it

Create a folder /forums/

Create a .htaccess in /forums/ (even if it's empty)

The rules of the parent folder should not affect the sub folder then.

EDIT: That was actually referring to rewrite rules, missed your file allow deny stuff. Dunno if it will work for that.

Long words short, I decided to create a subdomain via whm and install the forum there. Saves a lot of headache and now the forum is working..

Thanks all.
