Hi all

I have a problem with my EZ site and phpBB forum configuration, what happens is that once I go to the forum EZ complains that it can't find the module (note that the forum is not at all integrated with EZ). Therefore I belive I must make a rewritte rule that says that apache should ignore EZ's index.php when forum is accessed. But I have not managed it, anyone here who has any tips?

Currently my setup is as this:

ezfolder/
ezfolder/forum/

(Where ezfolder is the root folder to the site) and forum holds the phpBB.

In my Vhost I have this rewrite rule:
RewriteEngine ON

RewriteRule !\.(gif|css|jpg|png|jar|js|html $ /www/gs_hp/index.php

I have tried to add in order for forum not to be redirected to gs_hp/index.php but I have not managed it.

Cheers
Tore
