    403 and 404 error page after upgrade from vB 4

    Hello!

    Ive upgraded from vB 4 to vB5. The upgrade went through without any errors.

    But when I try to login under

    www.tld.com/vb5/admincp/

    I get 403 error page.

    www.tld.com/vb5/core/admincp/

    is ok. But when I login, I am redirected to

    www.tld.com/vb5/login.php?do=login

    and I see a 404 error.

    Any ideas?

    Ok. I solved this problem too.

    Rename htaccess.txt in main directory to .htaccess and change the following line

    Code:
        # In some cases where you have other mod_rewrite rules, you may need to remove the
        # comment on the following RewriteBase line and change it to match your folder name.
        # This resets the other mod_rewrite rules for just this directory
        # If your site was www.example.com/forum, the setting would be /forum/
    RewriteBase /vb5/
