Separate installs of WordPress and Phpbb

  • I have a website with separate installs of WordPress and Phpbb.

    WordPress is installed in the root directory, Phpbb is installed in the forum directory.

    I *do not* want to integrate the two.

    The problem is when I try to access domainname.com/forum – I get a 404 error message. WordPress seems to take over everything. (The forum itself installed fine. No problems there. WordPress works fine too.)

    WordPress htaccess code:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I tried this for the forum, put it in the root htaccess file as well as the forum root, but no luck.

    #forum

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /forum/
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /forum/index\.php\ HTTP/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ https://domainname.com/forum/ [R=301,L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /forum/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    #End forum

    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try in my htaccess file? Everything I’ve searched for on Google or this site talks about integrating WP and Phpbb and is no help.

    Thank you.
