Not Showing URLs Correctly

[fourd5dswb]

Hello,

When I type in a bogus URL such as http://www.prowlser.com/poopoo into my browser my front page automatically pops up. It happens no matter what you put in. I'm trying to add a forum to my site and the URL would be http://www.prowlser.com/make-money-forum, but when I try to get to it the only thing that pops up is my front page. I'm using phpBB and it is installed correctly.

What can I do to fix this problem?

The subdirectory already has a .htaccess file
I tried adding the rewriteengine Off to the file itself and that did not work.

What now?

hi!

how does your .htaccess do looklike then?

The subdirectory already has a .htaccess file
I tried adding the rewriteengine Off to the file itself and that did not work.

What now?

[fourd5dswb]

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

This is what is in the file. The file is located in the subdirectory for my forum. I tried to add the "rewriteengine Off" to this file and save it but that didn't work.

Hi!

So you tried to modify the file to look like this:

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine Off

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

Right? And the file was properly saved? Then this really must work...does your forum have a index.php or index.html file, or what is the main file? When you call that URL with filename, this should work, right?

This was still not working so I removed it and installed the forum plug-in for Serendipity. Everything seems to be running fine except for when you try to save a thread it gives a 500 Internal Server Error.

The message states:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, support@supportwebsite.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.


It still saves the thread but this is obviously an issue.

What do I do?

Hi!

To get the reason of the 500 error, you must ask your provider to have a look at the PHP/Apache Error-Log (usually NOT the domain's file error log, but the one where CGI errors occur in).

It might be related to RAM-usage, timeouts or network connections...the exact reason I can only tell with the exact error message.
