Bug 404 with new DBSEO .htaccess

[Actualidad tma]

Hi.

I'm installing DBseo following steps in the readme.txt and vbseo import.txt

When I paste the new .htaccess code from DBseo to my old .htaccess, I get this 404 error in the whole site. AdminCP and DBseoCP work.

Not Found
The requested URL /kunden/homepages/36/d686759195/htdocs/tmas/foro/dbseo.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This is the .htaccess that makes my site crash (I have commented out the files about vbseo as readme says).

# 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

# 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 /foro/

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.tmas\.es
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.tmas.es/foro/$1 [L,R=301]

#RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(CUSTOM ADMINCP/|CUSTOM MODCP/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|api\.php)
#RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(CUSTOM ADMINCP|CUSTOM MODCP|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
#RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteEngine On

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

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !dbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(CUSTOM ADMINCP/|dbseocp/|CUSTOM MODCP/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php|reviewpost/|classifieds/|photopost/)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ dbseo.php?dbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

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

Any help? Thanks.

PS: I assume I have to modify the .htaccess located at /forum/

You may need to set the RewriteBase directive.

It works! Thanks.

Now: when trying to access www.mysite.es/foro/, it redirects me to www.mysite.es

I don't know if the problem is that the folder is named "foro" instead of "forum" I have looked into DBSeo options and saw nothing about it.

One more problem:
One of my subforum url have changed from http.mysite.es/foro/subforum/name-of-thread.html to http.mysite.es/foro/subforum-a/name-of-thread.html

Why that -a is added to the url? It only happens in that subforum.

Thanks!

Make sure you've set the correct forum home URL in the settings, and that your RewriteBase is set correctly.

Because the forum's name ends in a number. This is working as intended and is not something that will ever be optional.

Hello Bellazor.

I've checked all DBseo options and I haven't seen any specific value for entering the correct forum home url. Where do you mean?

It happens in the very first moment I activate DBseo product - even with the old .htaccess - and /foro/ url works again when I deactivate again the product.

http://www.xxx.es/foro/forum.php redirects to http://www.xxx.es/index.php

I'm sorry but I'm lost!

By the way, after moving to DBseo, it is safe to remove old vbseo files? I would like to get rid of those outdated files who might have security problems. Thanks.

Hello Bellazor.

in the global vBulletin options, there’s a setting for board URL that needs to be set correctly.

It is, yeah

Hi again,

Global vBulletin options have always been set correctly. I have already fix it and this was the problem:

Dbseo control panel -> URL Rewrite Settings -> General Rewrite Settings -> Force Forum Directory Index (Set to NO). Now the redirection to index.php is gone and forum.php is back.

One more doubt:

Are these f and p before the available variables correct?

Thanks!

You don't have to change those, no.
