IE 7 Errors after upgraded to 3.3.0 RC1

As most of my users are on IE 6 e IE 7, in fact more than 90% this is a big issue for me.

Upgrading to 3.3.0 RC1 was very easy and appearently flawless, I mean, I backed up my XML configurations, updated lines on htaccess, everything was pretty much easy.

But just after that checking my board I've got lots of errors on IE (FF seems to be OK)

Just like that:

On User Profiles and Group Pages I'm getting 'vB_Inline_Mod' not defined.

On picture pages - 'vB_Quickcomment' - not defined

and on every simgle thread or single post page I'm getting 'Expected Object' error.

Any idea on what would cause this ?

This is killing me because makes IE pretty slow.

I also noticed that I only get those errors when I'm logged in but I don't get any error as visitor.

Do you get the same warning on vBSEO forums at same pages ?

Mert, after I post this and investigation deeply I found what it was and definetelly is a big issue.

In fact the problem is with you new htaccess

Old one in my case was:

Code:

# 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\.mysite\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|redir\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ 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]

And new one for 3.3.0 RC1 is:

Code:

# 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\.mysite\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mysite.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ 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]

As soon as saw those IE problems I thought it was a big deal in lay out but in fact this was scrolling up with members' profile paga considerably. Same as Social Groups.

After spending 3 hours checking all vBSEO configurations, chenging rewriting rules (what a pain) and found nothing. I decided to switch back the new htaccess by the old one I've been using with 3.2.0 and I GOT IT !!!
Everything was back to normal.

Well, everything I could see. What would be the impact in using the old htaccess with 3.3.0 ?

May be I'm wrong but this is a serious issue.

Your 3.3.0 RC1 .htaccess lacks the entry for 'redir\.php' in the first RewriteCond
(which is present in your old .htaccess)

Has it anything to do with the errors you are facing ?

In fact those two lines are different between the versions:

Old one for 3.2.0 that was working:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|redir\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

New one for 3.3.0 that's causing me those issues:

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

I've noticed this difference two but as was told on on the 3.3.0 RC1 release thread, htaccess *must* be updated with this version, so I did it.

Both htaccess came from original downloads supplied and nothing was changed from them.

redir.php is not a native vb or vbseo script.

you must've added that in at some point.

Yes, Brian, checking again my original files, you're right.

For some reason I can't find why, I have to include it. But I'm sure I've got this fix from here. I just can't find were. I will check againg aroun here to see if I get from.

Anyway, what would be the impact I should face in using 3.2.0 old htaccess ?

holy crap, I found from were redir.php is in exclude list. I'm using YSLOW!

Well, as YSLOW is kind of popular among people here at least with my dumbness I can take something good that may help others.

OK, new question know, is there a problem to use the new htaccess for 3.3.0 like this ?

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ! admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap|redir\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

It seems just one line has changed on the new htacess, right ?

I tried like I said and it worked fine now. Thank you guys for pointing me out.

Yah I was having the same problem. Forgot to add redir.php in .htaccess Thanks
