Attachment URL bug

I think I may have found a bug in attachment URLs that is causing me some headaches.

vBSEO 3.2.0 on vBulletin 3.7.4 NOVELL FORUMS

Here's how I reproduce the issue.

1 - Go to the vBulletin Admin control panel
3 - Under ATTACHMENTS, search for attachments which should bring you to a SHOWING ATTACHMENTS list
4 - Click on one of the attachment links
5 - You get a PAGE NOT FOUND error.

This started happening immediately after our upgrade to v3.2.0 The place where this really causes a problem is that we have an NNTP gateway installed on our system and because of this bug, all the file links that show up on our NNTP server have this problem. I've tried most of the update counters tools in the vB Maintenance area, no change.

Any help would be appreciated.

I cant confirm this as it works correctly for all of my vBulletin installations. What is your .htaccess content and what is your attachment rewrite option set to.

I've got two servers. NOVELL FORUMS and openSUSE Forums and the settings are the same for both:

Here are the rewrite rules from the .htaccess file on forums.novell.com

Code:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl= 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron) 
 RewriteRule ^(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]  

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$ 
 RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA] 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/ 
 RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

Here's an example of a URL created on the forum that creates the file not found error in the admin interface and the NNTP gateway:

Code:

http://forums.novell.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1533&d=1219835197

Here's the actual message where the link to the file DOES work: Inconsistent vendor lists - Page 2 - NOVELL FORUMS

Your .htaccess file is outdted. Please download vBSEO 3.2.0 and check the .htaccess file and update yours according to new vBSEO .htaccess file

Thanks. I thought we did that when we did the upgrade. I'll look at it again.

Ok, the .htaccess files (newer ones) are in place, but we are still seeing the same problem with attachments.

Hello ,

Please create a support ticket with a brief explanation how to reproduce this error and supply us admincp , ftp and vBSEO CP login info so we can investigate the problem.
