# 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\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^forums/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]
</Directory>

forum directory

Code:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/supa.gr/httpdocs/forums>

# 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

# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path

#RewriteBase /forums/

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.supa\.gr

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

Hello Nikos,

I would use in root directory:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/supa.gr/httpdocs>

# 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\.supa\.gr$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.supa.gr/$1 [L,R=301]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]
</Directory>

The first ones highlighted will redirect URLs non-www to URLs www.

Changing in the last one highlighted line %{REQUEST_FILENAME} for %{REQUEST_URI} wouldn't make vulnerable your admincp directory and will make it inaccessible in case you want to use .htaccess protection.

And in "forums/" directory:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/supa.gr/httpdocs/forums>

# 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 /forums/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.supa\.gr
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.supa.gr/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]

</Directory>

The highlighted rules will redirect URLs non-www to URLs www.

thanks Andrés

You're welcome!

upload the .htaccess in httpd.conf and I get the error

Code:

Generating new Apache configuration on host <dedicated.supa.gr> failed  because the following error(s) occurred:

Syntax error on line 44 of  /var/www/vhosts/supa.gr/conf/vhost.conf:
RewriteRule: bad argument line  '^((urllist|sitemap_).*\\.(xml|txt)(\\.gz)?)$'


Please fix error(s) in  templates of Apache configuration and retry generating the configuration  file.

any ideas?

Hello Nikos,

Seems that this RewriteRule has been corrupted:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

You likely have someting like this:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\\.(xml|txt)(\\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Please try reverting it back to:

Code:

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
