Has anyone got this going under apache2? I've got mod_mime loaded and the index loads but I get a 404 error for the rest of the pages. Apache2 doesn't seem to like stuff like this, I can't get it to protect directories either :(

As far as I know, old versions of apache don't seem to work with this. I'm not sure why, it would seem they would. I'll look into it more.

You can change http://a51gaming.madsims.net/forum/archive

to

I am just uploading it now :) Thought I should notify you of the change!

Change of plan, it wont work for some reason.

Can I get me a copy of the old one?

I had this running on Apache/1.3.26 fine before, I've now switched to a dedicated server with Apache2, the archive wouldn't work at all, I allways got Error 404 for forums and topics, and I couldn't seem to protect directories either.

So I've removed Apache2 and installed Apache/1.3.27 and now I get No forum/thread specified. Again mod_mime is installed and everything else seems to work well.

Hey scuzzy.... Great hack! If you do a update tho, I suggest (a) changing to this
chdir("../");
require("global.php");

And (b)modifying it so it will display categories in multi-teir layouts, like mine and a few others here (DON"T YELL AT ME, I KNOW HOW I CAN DO IT ONE WAY, but i have co-admins who don't always pay that much attention)

Thanks :D

Worked that one out ;) This doesn't work with register_globals = off.

In showthread and forumdisplay change:

to:

Then it will work :D

As for Apache2 Error 404s I don't know and am no longer bothered about ;)

Can you experts out there clue me in as to why I would be listed in Google for the first time about 10 days ago and now I am no longer in the index at all?

The URL that was referenced was the one that I had originally submitted--not the archive one that Google gorged on at the beginning of the month. I just find it odd that I would be there and then suddenly absent. I hope that the archive didn't PO them!

What you saw was everflux. Your site was never actually in good, they just spidered you and you showed up in their search for a week or so, then disappeared. It happens to all new sites being added. Wait until the end of the month (about one week or less) and all your pages should be added when the "google dance" happens. That is when good updates all their links and adds new pages they indexed throughout the month. It definately was not the archive that did this ;)

Whew! Thanks, Skuzzy! I didn't think that it was, but I am new AND a little paranoid I guess!
