Cannot get Forum to work at all

I am totally lost now.  I am using a custom template but switched back to UNI and installed the Boonex Forum module.  It says it installed correctly but still processing rebuilding language file.  it never seems to finish and then went I click on the forum module in the administration I get page cannot be found.  When I try to load it from the site I  get  web page not found error.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Its an http 404 error

Have you tried clearing your cache & if so checking your .htaccess file? I had a similar problem which was caused by the .htaccess file in the root directory.

Flushing cache did not work.     New to this hosting on CENTOS 6.x / Apache.    Looked in /var  /var/www/, /var/www/html and /var/www/html/Dolphin  I cant find an .htacess file nor do I know what to look for..

 

Thanks for replying though

CentOS; what control panel are you using if you are using one?

If you were running a custom template and the forum was not installed, then you need to switch to the default UNI template, then install the forums. Go into forums to the manage forum link then compile the EN language. Then switch back to your custom template then back to manage forums and compile en language while in your new template. The forums can be a pain. It has to be setup and installed with the default template first before you can add any other templates.

Thank you guys for your replies.   It was a problem in my httpd.conf file wasn't allowing the .htaccess file to used.  Fixed that and now all my permalinks work as well as the forums. 

 

Thanks again

Much appreciated!

That issue would have been suggested if you had mentioned you were having 404 problems with all the other modules as well.
