I am trying to deploy flaskbb on an apache server in a subfolder (ex. example.com/flaskbb), but I get a page not found error for every request.
Here is my (sanitized) configuration file:
# This file has been automatically generated on Wednesday, 01. March 2017 at 14:54.

# Flask Settings
# ------------------------------
# There is a whole bunch of more settings available here:
# http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/0.11/config/#builtin-configuration-values
DEBUG = True
TESTING = False
# Server Name - REQUIRED for Celery/Mailing
# The name and port number of the server.
# Required for subdomain support (e.g.: 'myapp.dev:5000') and
# URL generation without a request context but with an application context
# which we need in order to generate URLs (with the celery application)
# Note that localhost does not support subdomains so setting this to
# “localhost” does not help.
# Example for the FlaskBB forums: SERVER_NAME = "forums.flaskbb.org"
SERVER_NAME = "example.com:443"
# Prefer HTTPS over HTTP
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME = "https"
# Database
# ------------------------------
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "mysql://user:password@localhost/flaskbb?charset=utf8"
# This option will be removed as soon as Flask-SQLAlchemy removes it.
# At the moment it is just used to suppress the super annoying warning

# Security - IMPORTANT
# ------------------------------
# This is the secret key that is used for session signing.
# You can generate a secure key with os.urandom(24)

# generated the SECRET_KEY. If no WTF_CSRF_SECRET_KEY is provided, it will

application = create_app(config=os.path.join(here, "flaskbb.cfg"))I tried setting FORUM_URL_PREFIX to "/flaskbb", but that caused all generated links to be doubled ("/flaskbb/flaskbb/...") and all urls still 404'd.
Is there any support for this kind of setup? Am I doing anything obviously wrong?
