EDGI'm trying to install phpbb3 forums on my site, but wordpress is getting in the way. When I go to the phpbb3 install page (Website)/install/install.php to start the process, I just get a wordpress page instead saying that the wordpress page isn't found, when I should be getting the phpbb3 install page.
I have the wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes folder in my root folder (i.e. I go to the root folder, I see those as folders within it), as well as the individual wp php files (e.g. wp-settings.php). The phpbb3 folder is in the root folder also, but that's all self-contained and nothing overwrote the WP stuff.
The phpbb3 forum and wordpress site are completely unrelated (as in, I don't need or want them to be integrated or connected to eachother), the idea is that the phpbb3 forum will have its own domain name.I'm wanting the phpbb3 folder to point to a different SQL database than what WP is using too.
Is there a way to get them to play nicely together, so that I can access the install page? Here's what the .htaccess file in my root folder says, if that helps.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPressEDIT: one more thing - my site is http://www.evildrganymede.net - the way it's set up is that if you go to that URL then that takes you straight to WordPress. I'd like that to stay that way, since the forums that will ultimately be physically located at http://www.evildrganymede.net/phpBB3/index.php will have their own domain name.
