I've attached a test script. You will likely need to rename it to index.php to really test it as it only happens in one situation (the / rather than /index.php). You'll have to rename the existing index.php, obviously.

With the test.php version of index.php in place, access <url>/ and <url>/index.php and provide the output here please. :)

Thanks for the script. Here is my output
<url>/index.php
Base URL: /~quantnet/forum/index.php
Base Path: /~quantnet/forum
Path Info:
Request URI: /~quantnet/forum/index.php
array(6) { ["basePath"] => string(17) "/~quantnet/forum/"
["host"] => string(14) "98.158.182.140"
["protocol"] => string(4) "http"
["fullBasePath"] => string(38) "http://98.158.182.140/~quantnet/forum/"
["requestUri"] => string(26) "/~quantnet/forum/index.php"
["fullUri"] => string(47) "http://98.158.182.140/~quantnet/forum/index.php" }

Here is output
<url>/

Wow that's weird. Do you know your server setup? Apache? PHP as CGI or Apache module?
 
Ahh actually this is probably where RewriteBase is needed. What happens if you put this in the .htaccess file, after the "RewriteEngine On" line:

RewriteBase /~quantnet/forum/

Mike,

It's a no go

Here is my .htaccess content in the /forum folder

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /~quantnet/forum/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(data|js|styles|install) - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>
 
I have two copies of xf installed on the same machine, same web server (Apache version 2.2.3 )
One is on IP address and another one on domain name (second IP address).
No problem with SEO on domain name but no luck on the other one :)

I have solved my problem. It has nothing to do with Xenforo, the Apache virtual server was misconfigured. :oops: I'm sorry if I wasted your time.

The following directives are added to the Apache virtual host configuration file:
Code: 
<Directory "/my/directory">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
 
I'm also running Litespeed, but I'm not having this issue at all...

I'll ask my host if I can get a copy of his config if you want it.
