vB3 Pseudo Easy Archive

This is a dual solution:
1) for those who are upgrading from vB Easy Archive in vB2
2) for those who run Apache as a cgi but have rewrite access

I have made modifications to vB3's archive files to make it work like the old Easy Archive that we all loved.

Simply add this to .htaccess or apache config files:

        RewriteRule ^/archive/forum/([0-9]+).html$ /archive/index.php?f=$1 [L]
        RewriteRule ^/archive/topic/([0-9]+).html$ /archive/index.php?t=$1 [L]

... and use the files that I've attached. You can see one in progress at: http://www.abnehmen.com/archive/, but I have made more mods to this so that i can use the header/footer that I had in vb2.

it all still sends me back to the home page

Will this work if you never used Easy Archive for vB2 ?

.htaccess.txt isn't correct, it should be .htaccess

I get: You don't have permission to access /forums/index.php on this server.

When I upload the .htaccess file

The filetype is "HTACCESS".. The file name is simply ".htaccess".
