Problem with Wordpress and Boonex together

I have installed a wordpress CMS and set up buddypress. Not happy with buddypress, I installed Dolphin 7.1.4 in a separate directory called membership. Some of the links of Dolphin show the wordpress portion of the site. In other words, when I click on Chat in the dolphin section, I see the link ..../membership/m/chat/home/   but I get a Page Not Found. Some links work correctly but several others get the Page Not Found result. How can I correct this?

Thanks,

Dan

I have solved this problem by disabling the permalinks but that is not a good solution. I would like to enable permalinks again but must solve the problem first. As I now recall, I had this problem in the past and was never able to find a solution to it.

Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like you did not upload the .htaccess file that comes with dolphin to the root folder where dolphin is installed. Check for the presents of the .htaccess file in the folder you installed dolphin in.

Hi Deano,

Thanks for your response. The.htaccess file is in the membership folder with the rest of dolphin. There is a wordpress htaccess file in the root where the wordpress is installed.

Then my guess is the two are conflicting with each other. I do not know how to resolve that.

Seems others have had this problem. Not sure if they resolved it.

I had this problem one other time when I tried to put a dolphin script in a sub-folder of an ecommerce site, I had to disable the permalinks there also. Never found a solution there either.

Thanks for your help Deano,

I have been seeing problems with wordpress and other scripts as well when searching through google.

Many have had luck with putting wordpress and the other script in separate sub folders off the web root.

For example if the web root is public_html then wordpress could be in public_html/wordpress and dolphin could be in public_html/dolphin then point the domains for each to the proper folder.

The theory is i guess is that a .htaccess file in the web root will create problems with other htaccess files, but if kept in separate folders with nothing in the root web folder then things work properly.

Perhaps when i have time i may test this theory.
