Hello,

I am searching for example 'FTP' in this site from all forums. I am then getting a list of topics. But, when I click on any of the topics listed there, I am getting the following message. But without searching, I am able to access any topic from any forum. Any help?

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

If the url contains the string '&highlight=ftp", you need to remove it.

for example:

ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=19850&highlight=ftp

change to

ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=19850

Unfortunately, ftp is a reserved word and can't be used in that context.

'FTP' is a server stop word for MYSQL databases. Check this topic for more info:
