Hi, Can VBSEO Recdirect Zoints SEO URLS??

You have different URL format comparing to mentioned above.
Please try this rewrite rule in .htaccess (right after RewreiteEngine on):

Code:

RewriteRule ^showthread\.php/[^/]+-([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]

Thankyou so much that worked perfect , I started to worry as I was getting loads of 404's and could not fix it

Great, you are welcome!

I'm getting 500 Internal server error
This is what is in htaccess file.

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\.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 %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-t([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1&page=$2 [L]

Code:

RewriteRule ^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1&page=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-t([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1&page=$2 [L]

The above looks like causing the Internal server error.

Code:

[Wed Dec  5 01:30:19 2007] [alert] [client client IP Address] /home/user/public_html/forums/.htaccess: RewriteRule: cannot compile regular expression '^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)(?:p([0-9]+))\\.html$'\n

This might help you understand the error bit more.

Try to change rewrite rule to:

Code:

RewriteRule ^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-t([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]

Also, you should insert them right after "RewriteEngine on" line, NOT at the bottom.

Yeh this one seems to be working, fine thanks. Will report back if there are any errors or not Thanks.

Oleg : FYI, that code

RewriteRule ^[^/]*-f([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=forumdisplay.php&f=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]*-t([0-9]+)\.html$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=showthread.php&t=$1 [L]

Worked on my setup.
