I have followed (and enhanced) the instructions found here:
http://cvs.prohost.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#How_does_one_re move_the_.27index.php.27_part_from_the_URL.3F

But for the life of me, I'm not getting what I want.

I've verified that PATH_INFO support is enabled using the method outlined in the instructions above (which I grabbed from some other site somewhere).

I have the following in my root's .htaccess file:
RewriteBase /forum
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php/$1 [L]

(Rewrite Engine is already on)

And I edited the compiler.inc and rebuilt the theme.

But...

If I go to /forum, everything is fine. If I click on the first forum, however, I just find myself back at the main page and do not going into the forum.

Wow, after days... I figured it out minutes after. All I had to do was move the .htaccess file into the /forum directory, instead of the way the instructions had it (in the server root).
Done!

Thanks for fixing the instructions on the wiki as well!

I'm a writer/speaker by trade, not a coder. I can kinda hack basic PHP code, which is what I ended up doing in this case, but I hire real programmers for the hard stuff. But editing wikis? THAT I can do!

I'm particularly happy about the bit where I added how to test if PATH_INFO is enabled, which is really important before you move onto the next step. I searched and searched for that to no avail. Came across it accidentally somewhere else!
