Board ID Problem (Chat) - Posted By dog199200 (dog199200) on 23rd Mar 10 at 4:41am
I found a very interesting bug.. After you changed the url system, any boards that have the id as chat, it goes to the think saying the chartroom is currently down and will be back tomorrow...

The url is to a hidden, staff access only board, but that don't matter much.

This may sound like a weird question, but why did you assign chat as a board and not an action to begin with? Or did it just get mixed up or something?

That's what caused me some issues - trying to work out why this was happening. 'chat' is assigned as an action.

The problem was that there was (is) a folder in the root directory called 'chat', so going to /chat loaded the .htaccess file in that directory rather than the one in the root directory. So it was never reaching the main forum processing scripts.
