Customizing SMF > Joomla Bridge Support

Joomla prevents install.php from running

(1/2) > >>

balraj:
I have Joomla installed in the root (public_html) folder on a shared hosting account.

I uploaded the SMF files into domain.com/forum and extracted all the files.

When I go to run domain.com/forum/install.php, I am redirected to the home page which is Joomla.

Thinking it was the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file, I commented all the lines in .htaccess.

This time I get an Internal Server 500 error.

I am new to both Joomla and SMF and am not sure what to do or try next. Any help or pointers will be most appreciated.

Kind regards,

.htaccess is not written in PHP, so commenting does not work the same.

Do you have any domain redirects set up?

balraj:
No there are no redirects at all - I looked under the "Redirects" icon on cPanel and it's empty.

What rewrite rules do you have in .htaccess?

Here's what the file looks like, it's been written to only from Joomla so far.
