SEO Friendly URL's not working

[bhuwan]

"404 Not Found" is the error I am getting.

I just installed a xenForo to /community (not within root) of my website.
I then logged in and enabled SEO Friendly URL's. I moved htaccess.txt to ".htaccess"

I went to the URL of my site and attempted to visit the default installed "Main Forum" (<site>/community/forums/main-forum.2/) and I get a 404 Error


1) I know that mod_rewrite is enabled for sure,
2) I tried uncommenting "RewriteBase" and changing the path (no changes),
3) Looking at the logs I see this error:
[Mon Feb 14 09:55:20 2011] [error] [client 96.237.159.160] File does not exist: <path>public_html/community/forums, referer: http://<IP>/community/
maybe the "/forums" is an issue?
4) Can't think of anything else to try - open to suggestions

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated ;-)A

Depending on your setup, it's possible nothing can be overridden in htaccess files. If you don't control the server, I'd recommend contacting your host. If you do control the server, ensure that AllowOverride is enabled (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride).

Mike: thanks for the reply. I just checked the Apache conf and "AllowOverride" is set to ALL.

Mike:
Thanks for your help. I misread the httpd.conf due to all the comments. It turns out that AllowOverride was not actually enabled. I just enabled it and everything appears tob e WORKING good. Thanks again
