htaccess issue?

Hello! I'm starting a new site for local musicians to get in contact with each other where I want to have a s9y blog in the root directory followed by a phpBB forum in a /forums/ subdirectory.

When I attempted to install s9y yesterday, the .htaccess file made it so that any reference to the forums/ directory itself returned a 403 forbiden error. As would be expected, you could still access the forums by going to /forums/index.php.

I have uninstalled s9y (and the .htaccess code) from my root directory and returned to having my root index redirect to the forums for now, but how do I edit my .htaccess file so that I can reference domain.com/forums/ without having to include "index.php" without:

a. 403 errors
b. s9y returning the root index instead of the forum index

Thanks ahead of time!

Hi!

Inside the .htaccess file you need to use "DirectoryIndex index.php" for example.

Out of curiosity, what causes this? I have the DirectoryIndex specified in my httpd.conf file...does s9y's .htaccess override that?

Hi!

Yes, s9y sets that to its index file so that you can use URL rewriting.
