Installing mybb forum glitch?

[Rovick]

I tried to install the mybb forum, (I installed it on autoinstaller from x10hosting) and i installed it succesfuly and fine on the forum folder (I have made a folder named forum on the directory) but when i tried to go to mysitename.com/forum its just showing the index page not the forum how can i fix this?

Ah this is a common problem for MyBB, since its .haccess file is named htaccess.txt. Rename this file to the correct extension and name(as I said earlier, should be .htaccess) and it will work fine.

You are very welcome, you were not the only one who brought up this issue. I am starting to think that if MyBB does not rename its .htaccess file properly in its next release, I will make one such file myself for you guys/gals to download it to your forum root directory.
