Hey guys I have hosting with godaddy.com and my main domain being hosted under it allows for mod_rewrite, but I tested it for my secondary domain Bodybuilding & Fitness Community - Talk Fitness and it doesn't have mod_rewrite???

Now thats weird because their both on the same server, so anyways I called godaddy and they told me you have to put a .htaccess file with mod_rewrite engine enabled, so I did and still can't get mod_rewrite.

Please I want to get VBSEO, but can't if I can't get mod_rewrite to work, what to do?

Thanks in advance.

I'd open a support ticket w/login info

if it can be done, the staff here will get you setup

Hi I have not yet purchased it so how can I open up a support ticket?, can I?

Thanks, I want to make sure I can mod_rewrite working before I purchase this.

Also when is the GOLD version coming out?

Hello,

you can try to create this .htaccess in the domain root:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.vbseo.com [L,R]

and the open yourdomain.com/testpage.html - in case if it's redirected to vbseo.com, mod_rewrite is functioning correctly.

Hi, I have created the .htaccess file and create a "testpage.html" , but when I go to it, nothing happens.

Check it www.talkfitness.org/testpage.html

Damn this sucks, but mod_rewrite does work on my main domain.:(

Sorry WAIT, what the heck it just worked!, does this mean its enabled?

Oleg Ignatiuk · #7 03-06-2007, 09:53 PM

Yes, it seems to work fine

ibodybuild · #8 03-06-2007, 09:54 PM

That is truly weird because I had tried some other type of test and it would not rewrite the .php to .html url?

Maybe that function of it is just not working?, what happens if I purchase this and can't get it to work, will you guys help me?

Lastly I am waiting to purchase this until GOLD comes out, any approx. time?

Thanks so much for the help.

It looks like your server is compatible with vBSEO, feel free to open a support ticket if you encounter installation problem after vBSEO purchase.

It shouldn't take long for vBSEO3.0 Gold release, but we don't have a date set yet.

This is strange because if you go to How To Test mod_rewrite in Apache Linux Server and click link 2 it doesn't work and from this test How to Test Check If mod_rewrite Is Enabled (the one I'm using for this)

it means I don't have mod_rewrite enabled,

please what do I do?

p.s. first link is on my site.

Hello,

since the testing .htaccess above worked for you, you are 100% mod_rewrite compatible.

As for those tests - perhaps there is an issue with .htaccess files you created for them. Try to add this line in your .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteBase /testrewrite/
