rewrite rules, httpd.conf

Hi,

I just moved on to a dedicated server and noticed this optimization tip below.

Move rewrite rules from .htaccess to httpd.conf

For users with dedicated servers, the vBSEO rewrite rules applied in the .htaccess files can be moved directly into the httpd.conf file for more efficient performance.

I'm not seeing httpd.conf on the server now. What excatly do I put in httpd.conf, everything that is in .htaccess? Here is what I have in .htaccess now,

PHP Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)$ http:// Mysite.com [L,R=301] 


Thanks

Look for your virtual host file, and put into the directory tag.
For example your site are at /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/httpdocs
You can found the config file related to your site at /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/conf open it and find

Code:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/yoursite.com/httpdocs>
put the rewrite rules here !
</directory>

I'm not seeing the directory /var. I must not be in the full root or something. I guess I will have to contact my host to see whats up.

Try with /home/vhosts/yoursite.com/httpdocs

Or contact with the hoster to get info about this

mine is here:

/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

try that

Sorry for the delay guys! I just emailed my host this morning. It looks like I only have access to the one account via ftp.

Do you guys run different accounts(websites) on your server? I have troubles with this. It seems vbseo rewrites the url for them as well.

I can only log into the full root through shell, not ftp.

You can try to put this .htaccess in folders for other websites:

Code:

RewriteEngine off

i see at ssh should i put the documents # 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} !^blog\.webmastersitesi\.com
.................................................. .................... the whole htaccess...

<Directory "/">
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

is the place correct? or i should go with /home/vhosts/yoursite.com/httpdocs

or i should go with /home/vhosts/yoursite.com/httpdocs

Yes, it should be the directory specific to your website domain.

just i want to ask if this correct:
in httpd.cnf

:
<IfModule mod_bandwidth.c>
<Directory "/home/q8manar/public_html">
BandWidth all 2000

RewriteEngine On

Hello,

since your forum resides in a subfolder, it should be:

Code:

<Directory "/home/q8manar/public_html/vb">
...
</Directory>

hi,

I added in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

<Directory "/home/free4vn/public_html/vbb">
# 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)
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]
</Directory>



And I saved the file and restarted the appache But it does not work.


404 Not Found

The requested URL xxxxxxx.html does not exist.

Anyone can help me fix it ?

Do you have your other domain settings defined in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf ? (may be you put rewrite rules in a wrong file)

yes I have 2 other domain in /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
