SEO

I am trying a test a forum with vb 3.5 in a sub directory of my current forum. I need to do this to test that the styles work with it OK.

The only problem is, when I try visit the test forum, it takes me back saying:

No Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster

How do I fix this? The directory is /dev/testvb/

Hi,

please make sure that the vbroot setting in admincp has a full path (including "dev/") since all links are calculated relative to vbroot.

The vbseo install is currently on a 3.0.9 installation in the root directory...

I'm trying to install a 3.5.0 installtion in the dev folder because I need to test it with my style.

So I'm guessing I need to modify the .htaccess file. I tried but it didnt work... I'm guessing your instruction is for 3.5.0 when I need it for 3.0.9

Any idas?

Basically, doing all the steps from the installation instructions should work fine (copy all files [including .htaccess] to dev/ folder and add vbseo plugin to vB3.5.0).
If it doesn't, please PM me the url

You still don't understand. Let me try to explain again.

Please forget everything I told you before and I will start again:

My forum is located at with vbseo installed on it: http://www.webmaster-forums101.com/

I want to create a directory on my forum:
http://www.webmaster-forums101.com/dev/testvb/

But if you click that link above, it takes you back to: http://www.webmaster-forums101.com/401.php/

So basically, the .htaccess is stuffing me up... I tried making this my .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !dev/testvb/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !admincp/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !modcp/
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Any ideas?

It seems like you have a redirection to 401.php somewhere, please check ALL rewrite rules that you have included in .htaccess and httpd.conf.

But why would it be giving me a 404 when the page exists?

This page exists: http://www.webmaster-forums101.com/dev/testvb/test.php

Nevermind... There is somethign wrong with the .htaccess... I'll contact my web host. Thanks mate!

That's why I guessed there are some other rewrite rules besides vBSEOs

You are welcome
