Also getting 'Not Found' errors.

Just installed the new 1.5 release on a clean build of vB 3.53. I don't have any hacks installed I can imagine conflicting.

The product is enabled through the admincp.

mod_rewrite is working on other vhosts on the same box.

I've got the forumroot under a directory called 'f'.

I made the edits to the three templates mentioned in the install.html.

I've tried using both the default .htaccess rewrite rules and the ones generated by the auto-generator in the other thread.

If I navigate to /f/, I see the forum display as I expect.

If I click on a link to a subforum, I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /f/f-boston-beer-party-15.html was not found on this server.

If I click on a link to the latest updated thread in the 'Last Post' column, I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /showthread.php was not found on this server.

I've tried adding 'RewriteBase /f' to the .htacces as specified in the install.html, but with that option, I get:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

and the apache2 error log shows:

mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

(Incidentally, the install.html lists that option with a space, as 'Rewrite Base', which causes Apache to report an error. Probably want to fix that...)

Now, if I manually prepend the /f/ directory onto the rules, like so:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(showthread\.php)$ f/showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

then clicking on the link on forumdisplay's 'Last Post' column does work as desired, but only for that one rule. Everything else I can think to try still breaks.

Let me know if I've left any info out.
