Image attachments gone?

Now after the upgrade, my attachments are gone:

BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - BLiNC Magazine BASE jumping Content

BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - Page Not Found

nor at
BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - Page Not Found

How would this have happened?

Hello ,

It looks like you didn't completed installation steps correctly. Please complete all installation steps correctly including importing vBSEO product file and uploading .htaccess file to your forum folder.

I did import the xml plugin,

and here is the htaccess I have:

Code:

RewriteEngine on

##############################
# Vault Wiki rewrite settings:
##############################
RewriteRule ^wiki.php(.*)$ showwiki.php$1 [L,QSA]


# Simple URLs....
RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?title=(.*)$ wiki/$1 [L,R=301]



# Default Namespace...
# If you are using Simple URLs, use this rule:
RewriteRule ^wiki/wiki:(.*)$ wiki/$1 [L,R=301]

# If you are NOT using Simple URLs, use this rule:
RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?title=wiki:(.*)$ showwiki.php?title=$1 [L,R=301]



# Simple URLs, revisited...
RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)?$ showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA]

##---------------------------------##
# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
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]

Do you keep CMS url rewrite settings disabled ? If yes please try enabling them and see if attachments are working correct.

in the vbseo settings:

Rewrite CMS URLs? NO

And there is no change.

When I enable them:

Code:

This webpage has a redirect loop.

The webpage at http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/content/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.

You don't need any of the following rules and those rules are the cause of your issues.

Code:

# Forum
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

I made these changes but had no affect:

Code:

#----------------------#
# vBulletin Settings
#----------------------#
# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/
#----------------------#

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
#RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
#ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

#RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# MVC
RewriteRule ^(?:(.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]

Where is this file anyways:
BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - Page Not Found
???

Please try using only default .htaccess to see if that fixes your issue or not. You are adding bunch of unnecessary code to vBSEO .htaccess file which is causing the issue.

I am not sure what the default is, but I did this:

Code:

#----------------------#
#----------------------#
# Vault Wiki rewrite settings:
#----------------------#
RewriteEngine On
#RewriteBase /forum/

#RewriteRule ^wiki.php$ showwiki.php [L,QSA]
#RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?title=(.*)$ wiki/$1 [L,R=301]
#RewriteRule ^wiki/Wiki:(.*)$ wiki/$1 [L,R=301]

#RewriteRule ^wiki$ wiki/ [L,QSA,R=301]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^wiki/(.*)?$ showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA]


#----------------------#
# vBulletin Settings
#----------------------#
# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/
#----------------------#

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
#RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
#ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

#RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# MVC
RewriteRule ^(?:(.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]


##---------------------------------##
# VBSEO Settings
##---------------------------------##

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !showwiki_proxy.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]

No change

Then I deleted the .htaccess, and still no change.

Dfault vBSEO .htaccess file only contains the following

Code:

# 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\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
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]

I adde djust:

Code:

##---------------------------------##
# VBSEO Settings
##---------------------------------##

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in

#RewriteBase /

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
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]

Now there is no image, but when i try to open the image, I get this page isntead of the nice VB page:

We're Sorry,

The document you are attempting to reach was not found. This could be that you have mis-typed the URL for the document, or it has either been moved, or no longer part of the current pages.

The following information is what you requested:

URL: BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - Page Not Found

And just as a test, I tried:

Code:

#----------------------#
# vBulletin Settings
#----------------------#
# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/
#----------------------#

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
#RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
#RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
#ReWriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

#RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# MVC
RewriteRule ^(?:(.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]


##---------------------------------##

#RewriteBase /

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

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
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]

Then the pretty page was back:

BASE Jumping:: BLiNC Magazine Forums - Page Not Found

but still no image.
