Basic Friendly Url Rewriting fails on Win Server x64
Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
I just did a clean install of vB4 on a Windows Server 2005 x64 Web Edition system.

After the install completes, the root of the forum displays the Main Category section with Main Forum underneath.

Clicking "Main Forum" takes me to the url "http://forum.mcneel.com/forumdisplay.php?2-Main-Forum", but the forum does not display. Instead I get "Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

Changing the "Friendly URLs" section in Server Settings and Optimization Options to either
- Standard URLs
or
- Advanced Friendly URLs
works perfectly.

Basic Friendly URLs (the default) does not.

Marking as confirmed but I prefer a dev to decide if this is a specific problem with your configuration or not (maybe a troubleshoot with ticket support).
