I am getting 404 page errors with my archive page.

If you go to this page - http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/archive/

Then if you click on most of the links you get a 404 error as the pages do not exist, for exammple - The first page is 'Forum Rules' which goes to this page - http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/arc...um-11.html and this does not exist.

The version of MyBB is - 1.4.11

I can set up a user account if necessary, but do not have one right now.

The screen shot of some of the missing pages is attached, thank you for your help and support.
I get 'No input file specified' which doesn't seem to be a MyBB generated error, is there anything in your server error log??
I get 404, for example http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/arc...um-12.html

Firstly can you confirm that you have renamed htaccess.txt to .htaccess and that ACP > Configuration > Server and Optimization Options > Enable search engine friendly URLs? is set to either automatic detection or Enabled.

If so then can you rename it back to htaccess.txt and set Enable search engine friendly URLs? to Disabled and see if that solves your problem.

Are you running any SEO plugins? If so you should also try disabling those.

Your web server does not support file.php/parameter style URLs.

compare http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/for.../parameter
with http://community.mybboard.net/forumdispl.../parameter

Since you don't even get a proper 404 error (you should if that feature was properly disabled), if your webserver is running PHP as a separate process using fastcgi it will be the SCRIPT_FILENAME or PATH_INFO variable set to incorrect value or missing. Talk to your server admin about that.

Thank you for the help above - this one seems to be the answer I need to pursue, I have tried changing the settings in my ACP as noted above and this does not seem to work, although was not quite sure what was meant re the htaccess file, as this was a txt file in the first place - I tried to copy the content into a proper htaccess file after make the change, but this did not seemto help.

So I need to ask my admin support how to get my website to support .php files with a /filename.html, if I understand you correctly - please confirm, as I need to ask the right question, thank you.
I have posted a question with my web-server support:

This is my question to them:

"Other : Website not working properly
Permission to access server : yes
Issue : On my website www.cash-forecast.com I have a forum that is run using MyBB software. Some of the archive pages that can be found linking off of this url - http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/archive/ shw as if they are not there - for example the first link is to page - http://www.cash-forecast.com/support/arc...um-11.html.

I have been told by MyBB support that my server or should I say your server does not support the file name index.php/xxx.html and that there should be someway to change the settings to allow this tobe shown.

Please help, Thank you. Russell"

and this is their answer:
