Server sending 404 - even though page shows?

Just lost my PR on my forums index page (http://micechat.com/forums/)

I know why, because for some odd reason - the headers for http://micechat.com/forums/ are giving me a 404 error: View HTTP Request and Response Header However, the page shows up just fine.

However, if you use MiceChat - Powered by vBulletin - it's working.

Any ideas about this?

Okay, I figured it out but still have a question:

I have a .htaccess in my root for WordPress. How do I block that .htaccess from trying to redirect the /forums/ directory to a wordpress page? Here's the .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.micechat\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://micechat.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

It shoudln't, but it is. It's like it's ignoring it. I was messing with it to get the 200 code, but under a default config, it's still 404. Here's the setup:

Root has this .htaccess:

Code:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

/forums has this .htaccess:

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.micechat\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://micechat.com/forums/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forumdisplay.php/(.*)-([0-9]+)p([0-9]+).html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$2&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^showthread.php/(.*)-([0-9]+)p([0-9]+).html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$2&page=$3 [L]
RewriteRule ^forumdisplay.php/(.*)-([0-9]+).html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$2&page= [L]
RewriteRule ^showthread.php/(.*)-([0-9]+).html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$2&page= [L]
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /forums/
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.micechat\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://micechat.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

I figured it out, it was an error with the intergration script I have with WordPress and vB.
