Test script installed... now what?

EDIT: Ah ha! I discovered what I did...or didn't do... so I answered my own first question!

I'd still appreciate being directed to... "some VERY explicit instructions on how to install and work with VBSEO."

Thanks.

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?

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:
#
# Apache/PHP/Drupal settings:
#

# Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "(\.(engine|inc|install|module|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)|code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root)$">
  Order deny,allow
 # Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# Set some options.
Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks

# Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

# Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php

# Override PHP settings. More in sites/default/settings.php
# but the following cannot be changed at runtime.

# PHP 4, Apache 1
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
  php_value register_globals                0
  php_value session.auto_start              0
</IfModule>

# PHP 4, Apache 2
<IfModule sapi_apache2.c>
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
  php_value register_globals                0
  php_value session.auto_start              0
</IfModule>

# PHP 5, Apache 1 and 2
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
  php_value magic_quotes_gpc                0
  php_value register_globals                0
  php_value session.auto_start              0
</IfModule>

# Reduce the time dynamically generated pages are cache-able.
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
  ExpiresByType text/html A1
</IfModule>

# Various rewrite rules.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on

  # If your site can be accessed both with and without the prefix www.
  # you can use one of the following settings to force user to use only one option:
  #
  # If you want the site to be accessed WITH the www. only, adapt and uncomment the following:
  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.example\.com$ [NC]
  # RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/ [L,R=301]
  #
  # If you want the site to be accessed only WITHOUT the www. , adapt and uncomment the following:
  # RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^example\.com$ [NC]
  # RewriteRule .* http://example.com/ [L,R=301]


  # Modify the RewriteBase if you are using Drupal in a subdirectory and
  # the rewrite rules are not working properly.
  #RewriteBase /drupal

  # Rewrite old-style URLs of the form 'node.php?id=x'.
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  #RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+)$
  #RewriteRule node.php index.php?q=node/view/%1 [L]

  # Rewrite old-style URLs of the form 'module.php?mod=x'.
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  #RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^mod=([^&]+)$
  #RewriteRule module.php index.php?q=%1 [L]

  # Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?q=x'.
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

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]

</IfModule>

# $Id: .htaccess_new 57 2006-05-07 19:28:05Z elmuerte $

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 221.128.135.85
deny from 71.12.181.103
I wasn't sure where to put the rules, so I just put them after

now they get url's like pc101.com/forums/f14/forumdisplay.php.....

it rewrites the url's but it's adding forumdisplay to some url's :?

thanks

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

Sorry Keith,

It appears a duplicate thread got started up over here...

Test script installed... now what?

I don't want to have four of us working on the same thing and end up bumping heads. I'll respond to your post on th other thread... if that's okay.

Somehow we ended with two threads regarding the same topic. This is from the thread in which Keith was helping me too...

Let me look into this and respond again.

EDIT: Thanks for the merge Keith!
