I made the forum a separate alias in Apache /html/forum and /html/public so separate folders, and created a /forum alias on Apache...

What I did before that, and actually have gone back to, is:

Create a Redirector Page with the URI of /forum, and have it redirect to /forum/index.php - see the screenshot below.
This also allows me to have a link to the forum in the navigation as if it was any other page

So It seems I did rejoice before time!

The forum is seen only if you know a "long" link, kind like:

forum.mydomain.tld/page?blabla_bla_and_whatnot

but if you attempt to simply go to

forum.mydomain.tld

no joy!

So if anyone knows of any solutions to this little problem or has any suggestion of any kind, I'll be grateful.

Thanks

Hi it's me again.

Just began playing with it and found a working solution. Just added the following line AFTER the SS section:

RewriteRule ^subdir/([0-9]+)-([a-z]+) http://forum.mydomain.tld [NC]

Both the forum and the page work

Thanks to all who thought on my problem

.htaccess problem

I've got a working install of SS in /. Very nice btw.
But I also got a phpbb forum in myserver/forum.

Problem is, as you may have guessed, that .htaccess breaks the forum.
So right now I've got it renamed, and forum is working and SS is not

I have tried to fix it with my limited knowledge of .htaccess/apache but even with the help of google it's not enough it seems. I was wondering if there's any .htaccess guru present that could steer me towards some resource which would let me make a hardlink to http://myserver/forum and let the rewriting occur in the rest of the dirs?

Thanks
