This really drives me nuts! I was so happy to find this hack, since I can't seem to have the vB archive working (php as cgi).
But after uploading the files from this hack to the (now empty) archive folder I changed the config file to set the right paths.
With this clean install I could see the messageboard in archive format (
www.mydomain.com/archive/index.php). But as soon as I clicked on a link to a forum (
http://www.mydomain.com/archive/forum/19-1.html) I received a normal vbulletin page with the message 'No Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster'. The pictures on that page didn't show up because they were linked to
www.mydomain.com/archive/forum/images, instead of
www.mydomain.com/images.
Anyhow, I thought the maybe the mime_mod wasn't installed on the server. So I changed forum to forum.php, just as topic to topic.php. I also changed that in the config.php file.
The result was more or less the same. The link changed to
http://www.mydomain.com/archive/forum.php/19-1.html and I still received a standard vbulletin errorpage without the images showing up (but with all colours etc.).
So what should/can I do in order to have a good running archive on a server where php is installed as cgi and mod_mime isn't enabled? :disappointed:
