If your wiki and your forum appear in the same folder (e.g. /forums/ and /forums/wiki/), you will need to edit up to 1 .htaccess file.

If you have not already enabled mod_rewrite in the file, you can do so by adding the following line:
Code:
RewriteEngine On


The following line should be the directory path relative to your document root. In the case: http://www.example.com/forums/
Code:
RewriteBase /forums/


If the value of Wiki PHP File is not 'showwiki', add the following line:
Code:
RewriteRule ^FILE.php(.*)?$ showwiki.php$1 [L,QSA]


If you have enabled Simplify Wiki Links, add the following line:
Code:
RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?VAR=(.*)$ FILE/$1 [L,R=301]


If you have Simplify Wiki Links enabled, add the following line:
Code:
RewriteRule ^FILE/DEFAULT:(.*)$ FILE/$1 [L,R=301]

If Simplify Wiki Links is NOT enabled, add the following line:
Code:
RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?VAR=DEFAULT:(.*)$ showwiki.php?VAR=$1 [L,R=301]


If you have Simplify Wiki Links enabled, add the following line:
Code:
RewriteRule ^FILE/(.*)?$ showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA]


Save your .htaccess file, and your wiki URLs should work smoothly.
