Subdomains never ending loading

Hello

I'm running vBulletin 4.0.6 and vBSEO 3.5.1 PL1 and i've 3 sections: cms, forum, blog. This is what i wanna do.

• CMS on http://news.domain.tld
• Forum on http://forum.domain.tld
• Blog on http://blog.domain.tld

vBulletin and vBSEO are installed both on forum.domain.tld. I made news.domain.tld and blog.domain.tld pointing to the folder forum.domain.tld. In fact when i click on news/blog.domain.tld the browser redirect me and change the URL to forum.domain.tld.

Let's start with blog

Admin > vBSEO > Control Panel > URL Rewrite Settings > Blog URLs > Define Custom Blog Domain?

YES -> http://blog.domain.tld/
Blogs Home -> Custom -> Empty

Now when i visit http://blog.domain.tld the page starts a never ending loading. This is what i can see in the left corner on the bottom in firefox.

Waiting forum.domain.tld
Connected forum.domain.tld
Waiting forum.domain.tld
Connected forum.domain.tld
Waiting forum.domain.tld
Connected forum.domain.tld

What's the problem?

Can you paste the contents of your .htaccess file I believe that mad be the cause...

Thank you

Thank you for reply. This is my .htaccess file in forum root

# 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 ^((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]

I was wrong it isn't anything to do with the .htaccess... Are you sure you have setup the subdomains to point to the correct directory and you haven't set them to redirect?

If so can you see if it works with vBSEO disabled?

Ceri

vBSEO disabled. When i visit http://news.domain.tld i'm redirected to http://forum.domain.tld in the CMS

In that case it indicates to me that it is not a vBSEO problem but that you have the subdomains setup as redirects instead of parking them.

I would suggest at looking though your subdomain configuration.

Ok. I can't manage directly subdomains DNS. I can only create aliases and physical subdomains with folder, FTP etc. I have to ask to my host provider. Can you please tell me what i have to ask him since it's the 3 time that open a ticket about it?

They need to create a physical subdomain pointing to the same folder as your forum. subdomain.

So basically for example if i add a txt file named clock.txt in forum subdomain i sould be able to open it with the following links:

• http://forum.domain.tld/clock.txt
• http://news.domain.tld/clock.txt
• http://blog.domain.tld/clock.txt

Is it right?

That is correct yes, and it should do so without any redirects.
