VBSEO does not work (404 error)

As soon as I turned on the custom rewrite settings, my links were forwarded to a 404 error. How do I fix this?

Hello Dustin,

Have you uploaded .htaccess?

Does your host support mod_rewrite?

I got it working, I didn't upload htacess.

If you didn't upload .htaccess (or add the rules to httpd.conf or something), there's no way vBSEO *could* be working...

Interesting.

Can you verify this Dustin. Your forum seems to be working. I'm sure you must have uploaded the htaccess file as Ace suggested.

I'm having the same problem, but i have uploaded the .htacess file, and i'm using the same server as my old forums, which had vbseo working fine (after having much trouble with the .htacess file)
