Pretty URLs Not Working

[Ian Eberle]

I have my forum installed inside a WordPress install and it's working perfectly except for the SEO-friendly URLs, pretty URLs or whatever they're called. Whenever I turn them on, it loads on the WordPress site and gives me 404 errors. When I turn them off and leave it /index.php?... it works fine.

WordPress: www.aquaticforums.net
Xenforo: www.aquaticforums.net/forums

Is this a downside of using both WordPress and Xenforo in the same parent folder on my server?

Ah, good old Hostgator!

Firstly, you are on a very old version of PHP. 5.2 was End Of Life in 2010! : http://uk.php.net/archive/2010.php

I can't see mod_rewrite anywhere in that file. Is this shared hosting you are on?

You wouldn't see mod_rewrite in phpinfo anyway as it's an apache module rather than part of the PHP install. Just thought I'd point that out.

Reason I said to check there is that it shows on both my servers

I have seen a few hostgator forums recently that have required RewriteBase...

Yes, that's what mine required. Must be because HostGator uses an old version of PHP... It would have to have something to do with the way HG sets up their servers.

Strange. I've never seen it listed on any of my servers though I've yet to see anywhere that doesn't support it these days.
