Upgraded SM Forum -- Pretty much working....

[kriskd]

I upgraded my SuperMod forum today and with the help of various posts here, it was successful.  However, the strangest thing is happening.  After sitting on my message board URL for a short bit, out of no where I get a 404 Not Found error with the following message:

Not Found

The requested URL /board/< was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I thought it may have to do with mod security and tried this fix to no avail.  Any ideas here?

Have you enabled Search Engine Optimized URLs? If so, disable them. Go to Admin -> Features and options, there's an option to disable it over there.

Thanks for the tip, Aaron.  I do not have that enabled.

My message board sat at the board index just fine all last night, but now I had it on Features and Options per your suggestion and it jumped to this error page.

Could you provide a link to your forum please?

It's in maintenance mode at the moment until I sort a few things out.  I could probably grant admin access so someone could take a look, but it would have to be over the weekend when I have a bit more time.

It appears my problem was related to the template.  I switched over to a standard SMF template that came with the upgrade instead of using the one the upgrade package attempted to convert and everything is running smoothly now!
