I just imported my phpbb to vb 3.6.1.
Something I did not account for is that my phpbb was installed to the root dir, while vb is located in www.ruleoneforum.com/vbulletin
After the import and I went live with vb, I had to set up the destination of http://www.ruleoneforum.com and http://www.rule1forum.com to the physical /vbulletin directory as home.
I also have the subdirectory http://www.ruleoneforum.com/blog however now you can't reach it through that address. You get a 404 by that address. You can reach the blog by http://blog.ruleoneforum.com but even here, its all sorts of screwed up.
If by some chance the .htaccess file has anything to do with my strife, here is the contents of that file:
Everything was working fine prior to going live with the new install. I believe the common denominator here is the location of my vbulletin installation, and somehow the .htaccess file may be involved. (it was originally configured for my phpbb setup).
If my vbulletin installation had been installed to root, would I still be experiencing these problems? If not, what is the easiest process to move my vB install back 1 directory. Do I have to install the board again to the directory and import again?
In the end, this is what I want to do:
http://rule1forum.com takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com
http://ruleoneforum.com takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com
http://www.rule1forum.com takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com
http://www.ruleoneforum.com loads the live vbulletin installation.
http://rule1forum.com/blog takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com/blog
http://ruleoneforum.com/blog takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com/blog
http://www.rule1forum.com/blog takes you to http://www.ruleoneforum.com/blog
http://www.ruleoneforum.com/blog houses my wordpress installation located at http://blog.ruleoneforum.com
*Sigh*
I'm pulling my hair out over this.
