In your forums directory, in /conf/config.php, there is a line:

$Configuration['Garden']['RewriteUrls'] = TRUE;

TRUE = rewrite URL's, FALSE = they way you have it.

There also needs to be an .htaccess file in your root forums directory with this code in it:


RewriteEngine On
# Certain hosts may require the following line.
# If vanilla is going to be in a subfolder change this to /foldername
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php\?p=$1 [QSA,L]

chriscoyier: Thanks!!! Solved.

jwokelly: Edit config.php.

Thanks guys, got it.

I was editing the config-default.php and ftp'ing it up to the server as there is no config file on my local system when VanilaForums are downloaded, its created on the server upon installation.

Thx
