E-Blah Member Posts: 5 Posts Per Day: 0.01 Time Online: 2 hours 3 minutes	I just successfully installed the forum to my site, but then I tried to change the URL from http://www.shaoforum.net/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl  to http://www.shaoforum.net/forum. All I get is an index page. Can someone help me solve this problem? I'm using a windows server and installed the latest version. Thank you!

E-Blah Member Posts: 5 Posts Per Day: 0.01 Time Online: 2 hours 3 minutes	This is what I have in my .htaccess file. Options All Indexes RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /forum/ RewriteRule ^(.*) /cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?$1 I deleted the second line to see if that would fix the problem, but it's still the same.

E-Blah Member Posts: 5 Posts Per Day: 0.01 Time Online: 2 hours 3 minutes	Okay, I tried to reinstall everything and start over. When I made the forum file in the root directory and put an .htaccess file in there, I was able to load the URL: http://www.shaoforum.net/forum. However, none of the links on the page would work... only the home page worked. Then I followed the instructions to edit the Blah.pl file. After I editted that, all I got was the 500 error. Am I missing a step?

Well actually i'm trying to do http://mydomain.com not http://mydomain.com/forum/. It works fine if in /forum folder though Do this and see if it works for you.  Change your .htaccess file to this: Code Options All Indexes IndexOptions FancyIndexing RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^(.*) /cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?$1 Note, if your path to Blah.pl is not /cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl as listed above, then you will need to change that to the correct value.  Also, that file more than likely needs to be chmod'd to 755. Now edit Blah.pl and set your values for Filename information to this: Code # Filename information $scriptname = $scriptname || '/'; # Change name of Blah.pl $modrewrite = $modrewrite || '';       # Setting, mod_rewrite: on = '' | off = '?' Let me know if that works, and I will add it to the blahdocs site. -Craig. Don't just ask a question. Instead ask a question, give us a screen shot and post a link to your forum.
