Forum Link is not correct

[UKCobra]

Rolled back to 4.2.5 yesterday, and found a couple of strange issues I cannot resolve, or find any other knowledge on.

When I click on the Forum link, it goes to : www.mocgb.net/forums/forum and gets a 404 error
Whereas it should go to www.mocgb.net/forums
If I check the URL of the site, it is www.mocgb.net/forums

Others report issues with blank screens on New Posts, but I have not been able to reproduce that this morning.

What did I miss when restoring from the backup ?

What is really happening is it thinks it is going to forum/forum/index.php when actually it i supposed to be going to forum/forum.php a way around this is to edit the httpd.conf to do this open the httpd.conf and look for index.php which will look something like

<IfModule dir_module>
    DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm [COLOR=#FF0000]forum.php[/COLOR]
</IfModule>

add the one in red and save this

Thanks, but where do I find this on my web host ? I have had a look in root and in the forums directory, but not found it.
From my research it appears to be an Apache config element, and I am not sure I can access that with my hosting company.
Also, would this have been changed when I upgraded to VB5 , and by only restoring the forums directory, failed to revert it to the original version.
Thanks

Let's take a step back a moment, since this worked previously so should work now.

Where are you actually seeing the error?

Your site is here:

https://www.mocgb.net/forums/

The forum link points here:

https://www.mocgb.net/forums/forum.php

Both these work fine. And so does this:

https://www.mocgb.net/forums/index.php

I'm not seeing the problem.

Do you need to clear your browser cache? Because www.mocgb.net/forums/forum looks like a vB5 link....vB has its forum channel on that path by default (though it is not a physical folder). That link will not be valid in vB4 though.

I suspect you may have something cached from when vB5 was up.

Hi Mark,
I think you are correct. It is not being seen by my work laptop, but is visible on my Mac that I used yesterday. Which would probably suggest it's a browser cache issue. And the people reporting it, were those that saw the VB5 version yesterday.
Thanks
Mark
