Oops! That page cannot be found. On clicking a link in the forums

tokado · November 2014

Hi there,

I recently added vanilla to my wordpress website projectb.me/forums

I installed the vanilla forums plugin on my website to embed it and everything went fine, however now whenever i click a link i get
Oops! That page cannot be found.

I think this as something to do with the rewrite or URL ? i don't know exactly maybe the plugin is dorment or i can chagne something in the hardcode?

Thank you for taking your time reading this, and i hope you can help me

Welcome to the community!

Your server is not rewriting URLs properly. I tested this by visiting http://projectb.me/forums/index.php?p=/discussion/2/ready-for-the-first-raid and noticing the page works as expected. I am guessing you have a server misconfiguration.

There should be a .htaccess file in your forum install folder. This is the modified version you probably need:

# Modified
# If you modify this file then change the above line to: # Modified
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   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 /forums
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

If that doesn't work, and pretty URLs don't matter to you, you can disable them by editing the config file:

Open /conf/config.php
Find $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;
Change to $Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = FALSE;
