Question 2.0.19 forum.php redirect

[janslu]

I need a little more info on the new

- The "Force Forum Directory Index" will now also redirect requests from forum.php

option. After the upgrade to 2.0.19 I've had an infinite redirect loop somehow and want to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Long time ago I have made some changes to vbulletin to replace forum.php with index.php (settings -> homepage settings -> Script Name for Forum Home Page set to index, then renaming the forum.php to index.php and ln -s index.php forum.php
This is probably not necessary anymore. What settings should I set to have it all working now properly?

You don't need to symlink index.php to forum.php. If you edit the default index.php you can choose the default page by changing require('content.php'); to require('forum.php'); and you can edit the navigation manager in vBulletin to choose your default page.

The infinite loop has been hotfixed
