mod_rewrite and co-op

    Hi,

    I currently have mod_rewrite installed on my site. It sets a rule so that if somebody types in mysite.com/a-name, it will resolve to mysite.com/userpage.php?username=a-name
    I am also running the co-op in a subfolder of my root dir called forum.
    After updating my mod_rewrite code, I was booted from the network because my URL is listed as
    www.mysite.com/forum/

    Which I suppose means that it is trying to resolve to the other page and not finding the URL.

    I updated the co-op to point to www.mysite.com/forum/index.php

    But now I have a weight of 0. I would like to continue with the co-op in my forum but the mod_rewrite I have is much more important. Is there a way to work around this?

    Thanks.

    Base URL needs to be a folder or domain. NOT A FILE! Leave it like that and you'll keep the 0 weight.

    As long as /forums/ doesn't redirect (the mod rewrite seems to make it look like a redirect) it should work.

    Currently,

    It does redirect for /forums/

    I suppose I need to come up with an exception to my mod_rewrite so that it won't. Any mod_rewrite whizzes in the hizzle?

    Thanks for the help.
