getting redirected to domains.com/a/

If i go to http://www.domain.com/test123/ (or anything that does not exist) i get redirected to http://www.domain.com/a/

Is that right?

Do you have a forum named test123 ?

no it does not...

if i go to domain.com/test123 it says 'page not found'

but if i go to domain.com/test123/ it redirects me to domain.com/a/ and says:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

What is your .htaccess content ?

# 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 /

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

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

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

*changed my actual domain to 'domain.com'

I got this behavior too, but the german support said, that this is normal.

I have this problem on one of my forums too.

This is default vBulletin functionality.

It's not default on vbulletin.com?

How do we stop it?

It is default on vBulletin.com also. You can try vBulletin Community Forum and see. The only difference on vBSEO is as there is no title to retrieve it displays "a"

on vBSEO it says 'Page not found' and throws a 404 (same as my other sites). This only happens on 1 of my sites?

Please try to modify functions_vbseo.php file:
find:

PHP Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_FORUM && (THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay')) 


replace with:

PHP Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_FORUM && (THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay') && ($_GET['f']>0))

you're right - but on my other site it says:

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

but without redirecting to /a
