rewrite rules, httpd.conf

Please try this to check if rewrite rules are working: [How to] Check if mod_rewrite is working for my site

I have multiple domains in the httpd.conf (WHM/CPanel manged), where should I put the mod rewrite rules?

Also should i create another file and include it or should I insert it directly if yes, at which place?

You should put the content of .htaccess file like this:
<Directory /path/to/your/forum>
[insert rewrite rules here]
</Directory>

and restart Apache. You can remove .htaccess after that.

Thanks, just did that, will check if it makes a difference or not.

It is working slightly better though not as fast as the stock setup, need to do some tinkering.

I did exactly so:

Code:

ServerAlias     www.mb-forum.info
ServerAlias     ralfs-mercedes-benz-forum.de
ServerAlias     www.ralfs-mercedes-benz-forum.de
<Directory "/var/www/dcx_redirect">
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_gets

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]


# allow from all
# Options +Indexes


</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

But after removing .htaccess the URLs are not reachable any more.

Is there anything eles to do?

Hello Ralf,

is "/var/www/dcx_redirect" your forums folder name? (not domain root but folder where vB is installed)
Did you restart Apache?

Right, was wrong conf, but it doesn´t work with the right one:

<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot /var/www/dcx
# DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/baustelle

ServerName Home - Ralfs Mercedes-Benz Forum
# ErrorLog /var/www/dcx/logs/errors.log
# CustomLog /var/www/dcx/logs/access.log combined

<Directory "/var/www/dcx">
# <Directory "/var/www/baustelle">


RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_gets

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]


allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Of course I´ve restarted apache with wet hands ;-)

Is "/var/www/dcx" your forums folder? I think your vB is located in /forum/, so it's probably /var/www/dcx/forum.

??

The URL ist http: //www. db-forum.de

The board ist located http: //www. db-forum.de/forum

Therefore the apache-config must show to /var/www/dcx, not to /var/www/dcx/forum

You can leave your main apache config, but you should create a <Directory> section that points to a *forum* folder.

Additional??

<VirtualHost *>

DocumentRoot /var/www/dcx

ServerName Home - Ralfs Mercedes-Benz Forum

<Directory "/var/www/dcx">

</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/dcx/forum">
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_gets

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]


allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

Does this work??

</VirtualHost>

Yes.

Or not:

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/dcx">
# <Directory "/var/www/baustelle">


allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

<Directory "/var/www/dcx/forum">
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_

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|imag
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]


allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>

</VirtualHost>
