Ghost and phpBB

[vinodh]

I setup a Ghost blog and a phpBB forum using Softaculous. Ghost and phpBB are installed in separate directories. The blog and the forum work fine but accessing the forum is an issue.

If I go to the forum using the expected url http://myblog/forums/ I get a Ghost 404 error. It's like it's looking for that url as if it's part of the Ghost blog. If I go to http://myblog/forums/index.php then I can access the forum no problem.

I contacted Ghost support via Slack but they didn't get very far. I also tried editing the .htaccess file but Ghost support told me that Ghost doesn't use .htaccess

Any ideas?

Sorry. I should have mentioned that Ghost and phpBB are installed in separate directories.

Your web server is most likely not configured to auto locate index.php.

Put an index.htm next to index.php and see if it shows that page when you goto /phpbb/

If it does, you need to update your web servers conf to use index.php as a default

I added "DirectoryIndex index.php" to .htaccess and the forum works but Ghost gives a 404 error.
