i just installed dragonbyte seo lite 1.3.3 on mny vb 4.1 forum.

My cms was on /forum/content and the forum was on /forum

After installing dbSEO my cms is on /forum and my forum is gone.

the "home" button is redirecting to /forum and no longer to /forum/content and the "forum" button is redirecting to /forum were now is my cms.

i have a drop down menu that should redirect to forums but that gives a 404 not found page (http://www.coverplazaforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?40-Custom-Blu-Ray-Covers)

My host checked and the Mod_Rewrite is on by default.

this is my ./htaccess file located in the root

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?coverplazaforum\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/qX4w7.gif [L]


RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|dbseocp/|modcp/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php|reviewpost/|classifieds/|photopost/)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|dbseocp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|reviewpost|classifieds|photopost)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]



And there is another .htaccess file in /public_html:

DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm

<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^coverplazaforum.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.coverplazaforum.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?coverplazaforum\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ http://i.imgur.com/qX4w7.gif [L]

What can i do to get is working again?

ps now i have diasabled the seo mod, al works back ok, only the "home' button no longer redirects to the cms page but gives a 404, i can change that in the "Content Management"-->"Side Tab Management" back to Coverplazaforum Custom Blu-ray Covers - New Covers bit its weird it changed. ( i need to replace content.php with ?styleid=2 to get it back)

Turn off the "Force Forum Directory Index" option in the DBSEO Control Panel :)
 
if i do that, the home goes to cms as should be.
The forum button goes to forum as should be.

But all the forum links on the forum does not work.

if i set rewrite forum urls to no, i got 1 step further, the forum works but the topics dont ect.

I dont know mutch about code and stuff but maybe it has something to do with that is have 2 htaccess files?

If your vBulletin forum is located in the /forum/ sub-directory, then you need to edit that .htaccess file with the DBSEO rewrite rules :)
 
stupid me :)

I think i got it working now, i copied the .htaccess from het public_html folder to the forum folder.

i only now have a .htacces in my root, 1 in my public_html and 1 in my forum folder.

is that a problem?


and thanks for the help, i realy hope this mod gives me what i need :)
 
It shouldn't be a problem, though you probably don't need the DBSEO rules in the root one :)
 
ok, deleted it from the root one, and build send the new sitmap.

Also enabled the analystics and aplyed for the universal analystics, will enable that when its aproved.

thanks for the help, i have al i need, if it works for me i upgrade for the pro version :)
