Topic: .htaccess issue in PunBB 1.3

I have PunBB 1.3 (SVN version 761) installed on my server for testing purposes; however it seems as though the .htaccess that is included for the 'pretty URL's' is having some issues on my server as when it is enabled I get an internal server error when trying to access the PunBB directive.

Has anyone else had any issues with this?

I use the rewrite engine myself, and haven't experienced such issues so I'm clueless as far as to why it's freaking out.

I'm not sure that we want people to report 1.3 bugs yet, however... could you give us some server details? most importantly what version of apache?

Moved to PunBB Discussion since we're not accepting Bug Reports for 1.3

Apache 1.3.34 (Unix) & PHP 4.3.11

as for reporting 1.3 bugs, I was unsure of it but I figured I'd put it out there just encase.

Did you copy the .htaccess file from the extras folder?

Yes.

Re: .htaccess issue in PunBB 1.3

The current PunBB 1.3 .htaccess seems to have some issues with 1.3.x Apache versions.

Re: .htaccess issue in PunBB 1.3

I think it'll probably work with any ?: removed and the backreference numbers changed to compensate, i'll look into it

Probably, yes. It's the same issue as this: http://dev.punbb.org/changeset/661
