Im having a problem, PHPbb

[jerxs]

I installed a static URL script / plugin on this forum some time back and was having some problems after moving it to a sub domain. The server admins fixed my problem, but now im having another and thought id try using a redirect through a .htaccess file, no cigar.

Check it out, forum.mediaswim.com , if your not logged in you get a not found error when clicking on one of the forum areas. I cant find the static url script/plug in that I installed to back track and a redirect through .htaccess is not working.

If im logged in all is well and I can get to all forum areas. Im not to swift when it comes to server side shit, so ill give you a sample of what I tryed on the very first forum area.

Redirect http://forum.mediaswim.com/forum-1.html http://forum.mediaswim.com/viewforum.php?f=1

which does something just not what I want it to do, it redirects to;

http://forum.mediaswim.com/forum-1.html

when it should be redirecting to;

Music, news, movies, games, gadgets, forum

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't wanna sound rude or what ever, but when I had a php error with my forum, I went to the PHP forum and posted. Within 1 minute around 20 wanna be pro's fixed my problem. Anyway, best of luck with finding a solution.

If you don't have a .htaccess, make one and put this in

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule http://forum.mediaswim.com/forum-1.html http://forum.mediaswim.com/viewforum.php?f=1

If you do have an .htaccess add that at the top of it, or if the RewriteEngine On is already there, just add the next line

Try that

I got it figured out, this is what I had to add to my .htaccess file;

RewriteEngine On
