Is there a standard htaccess file for SMF?

Recently I've been running into a problem whenever I try to install a package on the forum. It ends up taking me to a "page not found" page under the wordpress section of my site, I'm not sure what's causing it but I have a feeling it's the htaccess file in the root directory which is currently configured with

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I was thinking that putting an htaccess file in the /forum folder could resolve the issue but I'm not sure what I should use as the default smf htaccess code.

If not does anyone know of anything I can try to get around this problem?

1- don't bump
2- try disabling the .htaccess file (either comment out the lines or change the file to htaccess.txt. If the forum works correctly after that, you know what the problem is...    I am not sure I see the point of that htaccess file anyway.

That .htaccess just says that if Apache can't satisfy the request otherwise to send it to your index.php.

SMF doesn't need any .htaccess file. Perhaps your WP put that there.

As Kindred said, the simplest thing to do is to rename it to htaccess.txt and see if things get better or worse. If worse, rename it back.

Sorry, but that didn't solve it. It seems like it almost always fails when it does index.php?action=packages;sa=install2;package=pakage_name.zip it loads sa=install fine but once it switches to sa=install2 I get the page not found error.

do you have any mods installed?

If not, the try re-uploading the files in your source directory...   it sounds like you may have one or two corrupted files
