Problem in user, edit links with UrlMethod 2

[natkarthik]

I installed the Pligg 9.1 Beta and did all the configuration. The site works perfectly with the UrlMethod set to 1.

But with UrlMethod 2 I have problems in using some features of the site.

Features which are not working:
- "admin links" in story listing
- All user profile related links
- Newest Stories, Oldest Stories, Most Popular, Least Popular

I tried to figure out the problem by digging the .htaccess file and found a temporary fix.

If I change the line

RewriteRule ^user/view/([a-zA-Z0-9+]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9+]+)/?$ user.php?view=$1&login=$2

to

RewriteRule ^user1/view/([a-zA-Z0-9+]+)/([a-zA-Z0-9+]+)/?$ user.php?view=$1&login=$2

and accessed the page from the browser http://www.hotflakes.com/user1/view/profile/natkarthik

IT WORKS.. same is the case for the rest of the non working URLs.

I don't know how/why it worked after changing the rewrite rule line in the .htaccess file, it worked. But its not really a solution for me since updating all the links in the script will be a nightmare.

The site I'm having the problem is www.hotflakes.com

I believe some of you out there (kbeeveer46) could find the real cause of this problem and help me to sort out this issue.

First of all, not sure why the second url works but the first one doesn't. Second, All the urls are assigned in /libs/html1.php so you only have to update them there and they will change throughout the site.

EDIT: It looks like any URL that expects a variable is not working for you.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Was there a fix for this that corrected the problem?

[kbeeveer46]

Since it works fine for my test site and works fine for other people there's not much we can do unless we can find the cause of it. There may be something on your server that's not configured correctly or something.

Well it is my own server so it is possible that something isn't setup right. If someone can give me a hand with this problem I don't mind picking apart the server and altering the config files.
There must be something that is causing the exact same problem on more than 1 setup.
I am running Apache2.0.55 with php5.1.6 and mysql 5.0.24a.
