[Forum] Forums page has an error (404 not found)

[ozifl]

Hey guys,

Been trying to get my forum up and running, had it going for 2 months or so then had this thing pop up:

Not Found

The requested URL /forum.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

my forum address is: www.ozisofishing.com.au

How could i fix this problem up?

Thanks in advance

I think the cookies are not correctly configured. Go to your Admin Control Panel and check it. If I try to enter throw http://www.ozisofishing.com.au/forums/member.php then I can enter the forum.php and there is a message about the cookie.

If you want to reset the cookies then here are the steps:

1. Open the vBulletin.zip file and locate the “do_not_upload” folder.
2. Double-click the “do_not_upload” folder to access the “tools.php.”
3. Log in to the Web server hosting your vBulletin installation by using an FTP client.
4. Copy and paste the tools.php file to the “admincp” folder of vBulletin.
5. Launch any Web browser and navigate to Domain.com/forum/admincp/tools.php. Replace “Domain.com” with the URL of your vBulletin site.
6. Reset the cookies paths, etc. using the vBulletin Tool page.
7. Delete the tools.php file from your vBulletin installation after you are done making changes

I'm missing the index.php file somehow...

[ozifl]

I just checked at the index.php file is in the forums folder

[Hartmut]

http://www.ozisofishing.com.au/forums/index.php says file not found. Do you have any rewrite rules enabled (eg .htaccess)?

The issue was caused by the owner using the wrong forum url in his Forum URL setting.s

I am still receiving the same error. I have tried re-uploading the files back into the folder with no luck fixing the issue.
All the files have been checked and uploaded. Would be great if i could find a solution

If it's not for you, Ozifl, try clearing your browser's data.

The activity is working for me as well, it seems to just be the "forums" tab now that is not functioning, http://www.ozisofishing.com.au/forums/forum.php is not functioning. Appreciate all the input guys!

I can see your forum.php without a problem. See the attached screenshot.
