Mosso hosting notes on installing vbseo

Following the post (Your ideas wanted on improving vbseo support) suggesting that vbseo users with the time and inclination should post notes on how to install vbseo at their web host, here are my notes for installing vbseo at Mosso hosting (mosso.com):

Mosso web hosting notes for vbseo
----------------------------------

Vbulletin version 3.6.5
Vbseo version 3.0.0 RC8

I'm assuming your forum is installed in the directory "myforum" so your forum home URL would be: www.mywebsite.com/myforum/

1. Modify the RewriteBase value in myforum/.htaccess to point to your forum install directory:

Change the line
#RewriteBase /
to
RewriteBase /myforum
(remember to remove the # at the beginning of the line)


2. Edit myforum/includes/config_vbseo.php
Insert your license code into the line:
define('VBSEO_LICENSE_CODE', 'your-license-code-goes-here');
Edit the VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT value to point to the absolute path to your web content root directory. This will look something like:

define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT', '/mnt/Target01/123456/www.mywebsite.com/web/content');

where 123456 is your site's id as given by mosso. You will need to customise this path to match your web site's path on the server.

And if memory serves, that was everything I had to do to get vbseo to work on Mosso. I did use vbseo's default URL rewrite rules. If you have done all of the above, and are still having problems, and are using custom rules, I suggest using the default URL rewrite rules to get things up and running.

Thank-you for your contribution.

Where's that wiki??

Hi eliot/Any others using mosso,

How is the performance of mosso platform? Hows the page load times? How big is your website & traffic? If you don't mind could you please share the urls of a few mosso powered vbulletin forums?

Lots of questions. I'm thinking of switching to mosso. But need to see how it's compared to my Dual Quad Xeon/4GB dedi box.

Any inputs will be great.
