"Page Not Found" on root domain

kraiyakraiya New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I set up Vanilla on domain.com/members/, however I'm getting a "Page Not Found" error message when I visit /members/ via the "Visit site" link in the top left of the dashboard, even though I set up the URL to /members/ in the settings.

I can access the forum however, if I enter any characters after /members/

Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix?

Thanks,

    @kraiya remove the slashes, see if that works also make sure that the /member/ url is already setup in the routes

    Thanks for the response.

    Even if I remove the slash, and I have checked the setup is correct, it still comes up with a "page not found". However if I enter a 1 i.e /members/1 after the URL, the forum shows up.

    Any ideas on how to fix this issue would be much appreciated.

    Thanks,

    what server rules are you using? .htaccess

    it can be a question of how it is routed

    for instance ^forum(/.+)$ will match /forum/1 and not /forum .But reasonably might assume that you use index.php as an index, if not then /forum would not go to /forum/index.php

    You would have to change the original pattern to ^forum(/.*)?$ that is basically saying match/.* but it is optional so still rewrite if not there.

    You could also try adding DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm to the top of your .htaccess file.

    grep is your friend.

    try putting http:// in front of it
