About to install VBSEO

Hi Everyone,

i recently purchased VBSEO and after reading several of the posts here on this forum, i guess im as ready as im going to be to install it.

before i install VBSEO is there something i should be careful with when installing my goal is to not muck up my forum.
of course it goes without saying that i will back up before installing VBSEO, but are there other things i should be aware of that will save myself and my members a world of Grief?

Thanks in advance

Sid

Besure to upload the .htaccess to the forum root thats usually a main cause of panic and install the product located in the do not upload folder

Good luck and if you need any help, we're here for ya

READ the ReadMe all the way through before starting.
Make a complete back up before doing anything of both file system and database.

view my guide and use my settings/suggestions. (link in sig)

and if you do run into problems, the support ticket is just a click away

Check to see if your host has mod_rewrite enabled. You can do so by following this guide...

[How to] Check if mod_rewrite is working for my site

well the deed has been done.

and i am happy to say that everything went smoothly now to optimize the site for better results.. woo hoo..

pretty much painless.

I'm new and having a problem with the htaccess file, which I have written a support ticket. But I don't understand what you mean by install the product located in the do not upload folder.

Just like any add-on from .org, there is a product.xml file located in the do not upload folder.

You must go to the ACP -> plugins/products and Add the product via the upload


be sure to open and read the read-me. all directions are there

OK, I see. Because of the trouble with my htaccess file I haven't gotten to the next step.

Thanks
