Sounds like a problem with the .htaccess file. Assuming your Apache configuration includes ForceType, make sure that the code on the uploaded .htaccess (upload as txt then, rename to .htaccess) contains the arguments + expression + exact destination URL as indicated (the latter--URL--if incorrect would produce a 500 error, so it's likely not that).

As soon as I put .htaccess file under the forum directory, nobody can access the directory. it shows forbidden error message on the browser. (Even an empty .htaccess file)

I think i have to add some directive or change apache conf file, but i don't know which one.

Need help please.

Ok, i use for 3 days google adsense

What i must write for adsense?

Mediapartners-Google*

or

Mediapartners-Google (no *) ?

I need this for Who's online hack and session hash stripping

10x

I have the same problem.

We've got this great hack installed (thanks Teck!), and it works well except:

We have only four forums on our board, and they are all at the root level. That is, their "Forum Parent", as set in the admin, is "No one". (This is intentional, since we don't have enough forums to justify categorization.)

The problem is that on the archive page, the forum names aren't hyperlinked. It seems that this hack doesn't hyperlink forums at the root level because it assumes that they are not actually forums but categories.

Is there a way around this?

See http://www.rfidtalk.com/archive

You'll notice that RFID Forum and RFID Industry News are NOT hyperlinked even though they are actual forums, while Greater Impact of RFID and RFID Technology are (because they are children of test).

Thanks TECK for a great hack. Took about 30 minutes to figure out ISAPI Rewrite and hack your script to run with IIS, but works great! So it's not impossible with IIS :).

I installed this script a few months back, had no problems and very fast install

I am currently running my board in the root dir so archive is /archive , what files do i need to change if i want to move my board into another directory so the the archive would be /forum/archive?

The .htaccess file if my memory serves me correctly :)

Can you post the ISAPI Procedure? I'm interested... Thanks.

Hi TECK, just wanted to say thanks for the excellent hack. We've had this installed for a few months now, (it's actually the add on to vBhome Lite), and although Google has been hitting our site nicely, we have yet to make a real dent in the Google index.

Everything seems to be synching up just fine, but I still don't understand if the "Unknown Location" issue is a bug or just a consmetic annoyance.

1. If a spider is hitting a page from the archive, and the Who's Online shows the "Unknown Location," is that a problem in terms of getting our site into google?

2. What/where is the varible to change the table content background color, width, centering of the archive? (It shows up as orange 90% and left justified on our board.)

Here's the link to our archive:

Thanks for any help, and thanks for the work on putting this hack together! We really do appreciate it!
