404 File Not Found - On the Index Page!

s0mean · February 2010

I have tried every single solution listed above and none of them worked for me.

I am having exactly the same problem of 404 error in:

http://[siteurl].com/forum/

but not in:

http://[siteurl].com/forum/index.php/

I believe the problem is in .htaccess and with the mod_rewrite, but I just have no idea how come by adding the RewriteBase doesn't work for me..

any1 still following this issue? I am on a host "streamline" in the uk...

@Louis thanks alot changing to simple CGI fixed my problem! Will I see any any noticeable performance decreases vs FastCGI?

Louis · February 2010

@dejitaru Glad it helped. Honestly, if you don't notice the difference now, you likely won't notice it later either, at this level. FastCGI is designed to keep a few PHP processes running on the back burner, rather than creating a new process for each request. It can speed up a site if it's not accessed as frequently, but honestly I can't tell the difference currently, myself. If I had to pick, I'd use FastCGI, but ... other than that bias, I'm using whatever works ;-)

thanks for all you post and suggestions but i have tried everything and its still not working for me, my hosting company is westhost and the domain is http://donorwaitinglist.com/ every-time i try to edit the site settings i get the error "403 Forbidden" message, i have changed the settings.php permissions and also the httaccess file from the original to what was recommended here.
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

@organdonor I see that your forum is now working properly... is this bug fixed for you?

@Tim Similar issue - details posted here: http://github.com/vanillaforums/Garden/issues#issue/291

Any ideas? PS: Great job on the RC!

hey guys, I think I got the solution (FastCGI) !
Simply replace "/$1" to "?$1" !

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

Tested on Vanilla2 RC1.

None of these solutions have worked for me. Animated icon still showing in Vanilla forum Configure an Authenticator settings page.

Tried the htaccess solution, and the $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE; solution to no avail.

Any other suggestions? Apparently this "was" fixed in Vanilla 2.0.6, but that's the version i'm having problems with, how about all of you?

Here's a fix for the constant loading of the settings: http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/comment/128133/#Comment_128133
