[CMS] setting Forum Component URL and Blog Component URL

[Athrill]

hello community. i have a fresh install of VBS and am trying to configure the Blog an Forum URLs and am not getting the desired results.

my VBS install is within a single sub-domain at the following URL:
http://community.mysite.com (example). the "community" sub-domain (or vanity url) will not change for any portions of the VBS; it will always be under the "community." sub-domain.

what i'm trying to do
i would like to have separate sub-directories for the Forums, and Blogs so the are accessible from the root url for each, such as:

FORUMS

http://community.mysite.com/forums

or

http://community.mysite.com/forums/index.php

BLOGS

http://community.mysite.com/blogs

or

http://community.mysite.com/blogs/index.php

my Attempts
i made the appropriate changes to the Forum Component URL and Blog Component URL as such:
FORUM

http://community.mysite.com/forums

BLOGS

http://community.mysite.com/blogs

i also made changes to the .htaccess file as suggested in the manual. the results are showing as:
FORUM

http://community.mysite.com/forums/forum.php

BLOGS

http://community.mysite.com/blogs/blog.php

is there a way i can configure VBS so the Forum and Blog URLs are like that of my first example? i am on a shared-hosted Unix server, running the latest PHP version. please let me know if i can supply other info that may be of help.


many thanks in advance for your time and help,
Alan J.
