Hi,

I've got a forum built on vbulletin www.e-buscadores.com/foro-buscadores/index.php and I'm trying to implement the vrewrite stuff, I followed the rules by the letter but it gives me a 500 error. I'm wondering, does my hosting package need to meet any requirement to get the rewrite working?

Thanks a lot

Your host should support the .htaccess in order to make it work. :)

Actually your host needs to support mod_rewrite. Also, 500 (Internal Server Error)'s are mainly caused by file permissions.

Cheers guys. Then I don't know where the problem is, as the mod_rewrite is enabled and working fine for a section that is built on WordPress...

your .htaccess file HAVE TO be chmod 644 or the server gives a 500 error!!!

and maybe your path is not correct, depending on your server rule.

Or you could try checking for errors related to mod_rewrite at the error_log file

Yep as well as the requirements listed in the vrewite thread and there is no vBRewrite. ;)

This may help with vrewrite though.
