The installation instructions are located in the "Docs" directory in the readme.html file.

| I fell a lil short of perfect install...
So, I got IonCube loaded and clearly, I don't have everything worked out. I see three (the most apparent) issues thus far... 1. Graphics and forum layout are all jacked up. 2. The pages load slower than molasses in January. :( 3. And, the URLs are not being rewritten in a search engine friendly format. So... here are a couple examples.. Suppose to be... Forum homepage Suppose to be... SubForum - Hardware Any help y'all can give me would be greatly appreciated! Or... should I just reload the back up and start from scratch?? Thanks! Lyte |

It appears that you did not install the vBSEO XML Product into vBulletin. Make sure you follow all steps of the installation process.

Marty, huh? I do have a question (for anyone) 'bout that test script thang! Why is it that if need the Ion Cube, there's a download link and FAQ with Zend? A DL link and FAQ for the one I'm NOT to use? Just seems odd and counter intuitive. Why not a DL link and FAQ adjacent the one I'm supposed to use? Lyte |

Hey Keith, If you mean this direction... D. Go to your ADMIN CP > 'Plugin System' > 'Manage Products' > Click on [Add/Import Product] 1. Browse to the 'docs' folder of the installation package and open 'crawlability_vbseo.xml', Click 'Import'. Yeah, did that... just did it again... and it's still messed up. See... Forum Page Thoughts? Thanks! Lyte |

Ok, now it appears that vBSEO is processing your pages at least, since the copyright is showing at the bottom, and all your links are being rewritten. The broken images could be caused by the image settings in your style. Edit your style and make sure you use absolute paths for all image paths instead of relative paths. Example: Old: images/misc New: /forum/images/misc

A little update for Lyte. The ioncube loaded has been uploaded and the product has been installed (disabled now) but the htaccess file is messed up., can you take a look at this Code: #

There is copyright on PC101 Computer Forum but no copyright on the forums . It is a little weird but it may be something related with the .htaccess Can you temporary remove the .htaccess and upload default vbseo .htaccess |
