Hey,

open /phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$this->seo_static = array( 'forum' => 'forum', 'topic' => 'topic', 'post' => 'post', 'user' => 'member', 'group' => 'group', 'index' => '', 'global_announce' => 'announces', 'leaders' => 'the-team', 'atopic' => 'active-topics', 'utopic' => 'unanswered', 'npost' => 'newposts', 'pagination' => 'page', 'gz_ext' => '.gz' );
in the Line find:

Code: Select all

 'index' => ''
replace with:

Code: Select all

 'index' => 'forum.html'

open includes/functions.php
Find:

Code: Select all

'U_PORTAL'            => append_sid("{$phpbb_root_path}portal.$phpEx"),
replace with:

Code: Select all

'U_PORTAL'            => append_sid("/"),
thats all
Grz Peter

Sorry PeterS, but it did not solve the issue. Let me clearify it more. Earlier I could visit my forum by typing www.chs.org.in or www.chs.org.in/index or www.chs.org.in/index.php either of this 3 method take me to my home page. Now if I type www.chs.org.in i go to portal. If I type www.chs.org.in/index it says forum doesnot exist. if i type www.chs.org.in/index.php it again take me to portal or www.chs.org.in I did the modification as you told but it add to board index forum.html.html and leads to my error page. My phpbb is installed in root or in public_html forlder itself. Its latest premoded version (phpbb_seo_gymsitemap) and advance url is active. please help. if any other information is needed i can provide. thank you in advance.

Hi,

sorry this was my fault!

change

'index' => '' with 'index' => 'forum'

without .html

I hope this works now.

Thanks a lot PeterS. I apperciate your help. I figure out that there is a conflict in phpbb_seo and board3 portal. Once I deactivate the seo mod, everything was fine. I have put it up on the php_seo board and hope they will find out solution in next update. Thanks a lot once again.

Thanks a lot PeterS. Yep, your advise was absolutely and exactly what was needed to be done. Only thing that skipped from your suggestion is generate a new .htaccess file from php_seo tab in ACP and put it in root folder after adding the line

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm
It was suggested to by seo admin at their site. And once done, its perfactly ok. Have a look at my site...its working now. Thanks a lot everybody.
