Hi :)

Ok first off I want to say I have spent the last 3 days trying to get vBSEO v3.3.0 PR1 (Custom) working.

Can someone please help as the pc is getting ready to make an exit through the window.

here is what I have:

Vbulletin 3.7 with VBA CMPS

Home > Public_html > Forum >

1. Where does the .htaccess go? Public html Folder or forum folder? do I have to keep the .htaccess in the folder or just transfer the .htaccess to the forum folder ( where admin, includes etc are) as when I don't have the folder I get an internal server error and can not access admincp.

2. Is my Htacces right ?
PHP:
# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the x2YZSEO 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 /forum/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.blahblahblah.co.uk
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.blahblahblah.co.uk/forum/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$

x2yzseo_sitemap/x2yzseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|x2yzseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ x2yzseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^

(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ x2yzseo.php [L,QSA]

As it stands I seem to be able to get it to work to a point however when it rewrites the urls and I click on a recent thread or a member (just for instance) It loads a white page with 404 page cant be found.

I will be forever in your debt if someone can help me get this to work,

Thanks

Well I went back and tried vbseo3.3 Null and hoorah I got it to work. Did nothing different to what I tried with the custom version so I presume there must be something wrong with that ?
