Thanks but still same error.

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/56-General was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Well, is there any one to assist me with this?

Thanks.

Link to your site will help.

There might be a confilct from the htaccess file above your forums folder.
You may try this soultion (it may or may not work) ... to the htaccess file in forums folder, add the code below to the first line.

RewriteEngine Off

Your htaccess file should start like this:

RewriteEngine Off

RewriteEngine on

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/

If your forums are really in a directory called /forums/forums/, then the RewriteBase would be:

RewriteBase /forums/forums/

I even tried removing the htaccess file in the root folder and tried your suggestions. But no luck.

My forums are in the forum directory.

/forums

After the url rewrite it turns to /forums/forums/

I think if we can get rid of the forums rewrite, we can fix this.

Also i tried commenting out this but resulted in 404 not found error, when i open a forum category but threads work fine.

RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]

Then it needs to say:

RewriteBase /forums/

(not RewriteBase /forum/ or RewriteBase /forums/forums/)

I already did that, but still the problem exists.

Is your actual Forum url set to yoursite.com/forums? Do you have anything entered into the Forum Component URL textarea?

Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit includes/config.php and add this line right under <?php

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Might be best to put in a support ticket and let someone from support fix it

Setting up the forum component url fixed the issue.
