403 Forbidden error......
when URL modification is done does it modify your database just your files?

I didn't upload the plug in and I ran the URL rewrite now am getting a 403 forbidden error on my site...

From Troubleshoot.txt:
Quote:
8) One (or more) public forum not available or giving a 403 error.

Ensure that you don't have fisical folders with the same name as any of your forums.
Error on my site

Quote:
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
If I upload my backup files will it fix this error?

Or how can I fix this error

I missed the part on the instructions.

Quote:
# 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)

thanks for the help
-----------------------

I can't access my site
/
/index.php
/admincp
/.... etc

does this url rewrite modify the database or just files?

Trials...
I removed all the vbseo file i uploaded and its still giving me the error
I removed the htaccess file and its still giving me the error

Next trial if it only modifies the files and not database is to upload my backup files

any suggestions

vBSEO doesn't modify any of your files or the existing content of your database. All URL rewrites are done in real-time.

If you remove the .htaccess file and functions_vbseo.php from the includes folder, that will prevent vBSEO from interfering with your site in any way. What is the error you are getting? Still 403 forbidden? If so, did you have a .htaccess file on your site before installing vBSEO? If so, replace that one from your backup.

Already tried that that and I didnt have a htaccess b4 trying to install vbseo

If I gave htaccess the wrong permissions like 666 or 777 would it cause harm?

No, but you have removed .htaccess and the functions_vbseo.php to disable vBSEO, correct?
