404s after moving the forum from root to /webmaster/

[dojo]

Hello,
I decided to move the forums from topadmin.net to topadmin.net/webmaster. Have moved the files to the proper location and also set the new board URL prior to moving them. I have cleared the forum cache, even restarted the server (have a VPS).

If I go to the admin section it works OK on the new URL, but the SEO friendly URLs give me errors. Here is my .htaccess.

#    Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you

#    cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.

#<IfModule mod_security.c>

#    SecFilterEngine Off

#    SecFilterScanPOST Off

#</IfModule>



ErrorDocument 401 default

ErrorDocument 403 default

ErrorDocument 404 default

ErrorDocument 500 default

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.topadmin.net [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://topadmin.net/$1 [L,R=301]

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On



    #    If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the

    #    line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path

    #    of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.

    #RewriteBase /xenforo



    #    This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.

    #RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]



    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

    RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]

    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

</IfModule>

Should I change the base to contain the /webmaster directory too? Or have I messed up otherwise?
Thank you in advance for any hints.

I believe this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.topadmin.net [NC]

#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://topadmin.net/$1 [L,R=301]

Needs to be at the top of the .htaccess file.

Just checked mine. Mine is like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mysite.com/$1 [L,R=301]
#    Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#    cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.

See if placing it at the top of the .htaccess file fixes it.

Check your RewriteBase.
Are you serving another site off your topadmin.net?
I think (tho' I no longer use Apache) you need to put RewriteBase to /webmaster

Mine is on the root so @Tracy Perry may be correct.

 

[dojo]

OK, I did it. If it helps others in my situation:
I moved the rewrite base in the top, as advised and changed it from

RewriteBase /

to

RewriteBase /webmaster

THANK YOU for your fast support. Let's hope no more issues will arise

Glad to see you got it working.
