Pretty URL Problem with Wordpress and Solution
Manager
New
Howdy Guys,
First let me welcome myself, as I am new and this is my first post 
..
After researching on various Forum Software's, I finally choose Vanilla as the final destination. I Install Vanilla today, and while trying to enable pretty url, I face a 404 error...
I search the forum and almost read all thread and seems there was no solution, So I did alot of experiments and spend the whole day figuring it out
Luckily, the solution is working for me, I don't know whether it's permanent or not (I would love if some Guru chime in and give feedback) ...
What am I using?
Site Running: Wordpress Vanilla Forum: Sub Directory (/forum) cPanel Version 11.34.2 Apache version 2.2.23 PHP version 5.2.17 MySQL version 5.5.23-55 Operating system linux
File Edited for the Solution:
Forum/Conf/config.php
Forum/.htaccess
Let's first make the changes in .htaccess file:
The Default looks something like this:
# Original # If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified RewriteEngine On # Certain hosts may require the following line. # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum) # RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
The Modified looks something like this:
# Modified # If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified RewriteEngine On # Certain hosts may require the following line. # If vanilla is in a subfolder then you need to specify it after the /. # (ex. You put Vanilla in /forum so change the next line to: RewriteBase /forum) RewriteBase /forum RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
Now, let's make the changes in config.php file:
The Default looks something like this:
//Garden
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;
The Modified looks something like this:
$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
Hope the solution works for you too.
