Nope, it definitely 404s. I tried it again and no difference. After entering the site's address, it automatically redirects to links/directory so, when I refresh, I still get the same result.

I tried to PM you but it doesn't look like you've enabled this feature of the board yet.

K, Fireboard doesnt have a built in PM widget, I'll need to add one.

Ok, so index.php is doing what it should.. redirecting to the actual script... Can you use FTP or something to check that the file named "directory" is actually there ?

Also, do you get the exact same result with and without teh trailing backslash ?

/links/directory
and
/links/directory/

both give 404 error ?

what about

/links/directory/5.html
or
/links/directory/5.html?PID=5

if they all give 404... then it seems the file is actually missing

I just checked with FileZilla and my directory file is still there. I just went through the above urls and for links/directory I got:

SESSION INFO: VARIABLE INFO: EXECUTION INFO: Sessions in links: $usesession
Session string: $PHPSESSID
Session value: $session_value

ok.. so instead of actually running the script, its simply serving the directory file..

Open the directpry file, ensure all opening PHP tags are full PHP tags, and not the shorthand method..

You should see <?php

not just <?

This suggests that your .htaccess file is being ignored.

The opening tag was <? and not <?php. Actually, I found two of these tags.

I changed the tags (first one then both) to <?php but it didn't make a difference.

Could this have anything to do with using php v5? Since I had a choice between php v4 and v5, I thought I might as well go with the later version. My other programs (joomla, phpbb, gallery) don't seem to have a problem.
