mod_rewrite / phpbb forums / godaddy hosting / help

Ok well I just did a phpbb mod to my phpbb forums that rewrote the url to put the title in the url

http://www.gamefrat.com/forums/

Obviously it changes the link but it doesn't actually work. It's just not rewriting the url. This is the contents of my .htaccess which is in foler "/forums/".

<Files config.php> 
Deny from all 
</Files> 

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

RewriteEngine On

# SEO URL [mgutt]

Help. What's going wrong? =(

 

You may want to insert

RewriteBase /

Code (markup):

after RewriteEngine On

 

Done. But still nothing.

RewriteRule ^forums/([^.]+)\.html$ forums/$1.php [L]

for the last four lines they'll never work unless you add something unique to each of them, like a different extension or a directory name change.

For

RewriteRule ^forums/([^.]+)([^.]+)\.html$ forums/viewtopic.php?$1=$2 [L]

you don't need the $1 part, since it's the same in every URL.

RewriteRule ^forums/([^.]+),([^.]+),([^.]+)([^.]+)\.html)$ forums/viewforum$4?f=$1&$2=$3 [QSA,N]

Why is $4 there??? I'm guessing it's viewforum?f= in the URL.

RewriteRule ^forums/([^.]+),([^.]+),([^.]+)([^.]+)\.html)$ forums/$1$4?$2=$3 [QSA,N]

will never work, cause apache will have no idea which script that's for!!!

Post an orignal URL and the mod_rewrite URL for each type of URL.

 

Hey Nintendo. I have no idea what any of that means =(. This is from a phpbb mod I got from here.

Make a post in that thread. The thread starter is still there. He's the last one to post their.

 

Do I have to install Apache on my server or something?

domain.com/forums/wacko.html should show the index page...if you have mod_rewrite.

 

Doesn't show. =(

Guess I don't have it.

 

try use austin mod for php mod rewrite

 

I just learned with the Economic hosting plan GoDaddy does not have Mod_Rewrite only with the Deluxe plan and up.

Bahhhhh!!!
