Solved Unable to post new topics or reply

I'm very new to both Joomla and the Kunena software. I have installed and both seem to be working, however when you try to post a reply, or create a new topic, after hitting the submit button, you receive the following error:

Not Found

The requested URL /plushies/index.php/forum was not found on this server.

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

EDIT: The same error will also be generated if you click the logon button on the forum when a user is not logged into the site.

This is a new site so I only have an administrator account created at this point. Everything is pretty much stock and I have not messed around with too many of the settings yet. There are no templates themes, or anything else installed.

I am guessing there is a permission somewhere that needs to be adjusted but no clue where to start looking. (have tried two different installs on two different servers and keep getting the same result) I am considering adding Community Builder to this site, but have not yet installed it yet.

Assistance appreciated.

I've managed to fix the problem myself, with some insight from a friend that knows Joomla a little better than I do.

I thought I'd post what I did in case anyone else runs into this problem.

What I did to fix the problem:

Updated .htaccess in my root folder to include;

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^plushies/joomla\.html www.joomla.org/ ? [R=301,L]

I left both SEO Search Engine Friendly URLS, and SEO Rewrite in the off postion in the control pane.

I found another document saying to turn these on, but if I turn them on it doesn't work. Leaving them off with the modified .htaccess file in place, seems to have corrected the problem!

I really hope this is all there was to it. :laugh:
