hi,

I set up a new server, and migrated all the files and data to the new server.

I tested the new server, WP works well.

The original forum url is http://domain.name/bbs, but I can't access the new forum via http://ip/bbs - browser says:

Not Found

The requested URL /bbs was not found on this server.


Apache/2.4.23 (Win64) PHP/7.0.10 Server at 121.40.148.49 Port 80

in the new server's forum administration page, there is a "Go to Forum" button. The button directs to http://domain.name/bbs ... but I expect http://ip/bbs here ...

So I can't visit the forum in my new server ... how could I access the new sever's forum ?

Thank you in advance.

Please see: https://simple-press.com/docum.....or-domain/

and follow the numbered instructions regarding the forum page and permalink.

Thank you. I followed the instructions,

  1. Create a new page with whatever title and slug you prefer (the default at install is ‘forum’)
  2. Then proceed to the forum admin > Integration > Page and Permalink
  3. Select the new page n the drop down list at the top
  4. Update the admin panel using the button at the very bottom of the form
  5. Finally update the forum permalinks with the button in the middle of the form

but still can't open the forum ...

the new page's name is 'forum', the permalink is updated to correct one in the integration setup page. but the http://ip/forum still can't be accessed ...

Not Found

The requested URL /forum/ was not found on this server.

In the integration admin page, the WP page, page id, and permalink settings all seem correct.

Try updating your WordPress permalinks as well.

The page you have created is a standard WordPress page. If it is now receiving a 404 status of not found then you need to look at the WordPress side of things so see if the permalink update makes any difference
