.htaccess and rewrite function....

[craigbrass]

Hi,

A friend wrote a script for me to auto create phpBB Forums. It included the following .htaccess file :-

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ ./phpbb/index2.php?forum=$1 [L]

Go here ----> http://phpbb.board-host.org/Arrow/ and see what happens. I think it is somthing to do with the way the rewrite function is compiled in apache. Any ideas?

Yours,
Craig Brass

Try adding this to the ./phpbb directory in a .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine off

Might not be your problem, but it seems like it's looping around the same .htaccess file.

Nope, does not make any differance. I think it is somthing to do with the server but am not sure.
