.Htaccess

I added the following to the bottom of my .Htaccess, as advised in the instructions

Code:

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

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

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

However this stops my Coppermine gallery from working. Is there a way around this? Is the .Htaccess _really_ req'd?

Hello,

The htaccess is required to run vbseo.

Did you install the gallery in the same folder as your forum? If not, each folder should have their own htaccess files and not conflict.

Hello,

My forum is stored in the root directory (where I put the .htaccess) and the gallery in ../gallery/.

You can try placing an htaccess file in the gallery folder with contents:

RewriteEngine Off
