in fact, URI should not contain /mybb/
in php handling part, it is re-written to be /mybb/$1
to let php find that file in dir /mybb/


with my tests, I came to this point:

if I add this on top of conf:

location ~ \.html$ {
rewrite ^/forum-([0-9]+)\.html$ /forumdisplay.php?fid=$1;
rewrite ^/Forum-([0-9]+)\.html$ /forumdisplay.php?fid=$1;
}


when I write
http://destek.10tl.net/forum-40.html
or
http://destek.10tl.net/Forum-40.html

it is re-written to
http://destek.10tl.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=40

but,
this time the problem is: the url showing in address bar is changing.
What I want is: user should still see
http://destek.10tl.net/forum-40.html
in address bar, (after pressing enter/page loads) but it should process
http://destek.10tl.net/forumdisplay.php?fid=40
in background.

this is done in apache rewrite like this. and I (and my users) wants this way.

can I achive this ?

here is a sample, similar site with apache running:
http://webboss.10tl.net/forum-48.html

thanks.
