404 Error

I keep getting the following error on all rewritten urls:

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/planted-nano-tanks.html was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.




Now I looked under troubleshooting and it said "Open your .htaccess file and remove the '#' before 'RewriteBase' Please note: when enabled, you must include the path to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)"



But when I open up my .htaccess file, that line doesn't exist, In fact their are only three lines. They are:



RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^view_(.*).htm$ view.php?pg=$1



Shouldnt' there be a lot more?

Have you uploaded the .htaccess file provided with the vbseo package to your forums root directory?

Yessir.

The contents of the .htaccess file should read:

Code:

# 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 /
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

So if you've only got those three lines then it doesn't look like you uploaded it correctly.

Fantastic that fixed it. It's not that I uploaded it wrong. That is what the file I downloaded from Vbseo.com/downloads contained.
