actual directory name show instead of symlink

Our forum uses a UNIX symlink called "forum" to point to the actual directory holding vb. The reason we do this is it is easier to upgrade into a new directory and then just change the symlink to point to it when done. We also do this to hide the vb version (we name directories with the version info) in case anyone tried to exploit well known holes in the version.

Anyway, it looks like vbseo is showing the actual directory name in the URL now rather than the symlink...is this how it's supposed to be? Anyway to change it to show the symlink instead?

Hello,

please try to define your domain root path (documents root) in config_vbseo.php file

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT',     ''); 


Okay...what's the syntax? Leading/trailing slash?

It should be:

PHP Code:

  define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT',     '/path/to/your/public_html'); 


Using this '/path/to/my/forum' didn't seem to change anything.

Could you please open a support ticket with FTP access for troubleshooting?
