Blank pages after vbseo 3.2.0 gold upgrade

here is my old .htaccess

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.
Options +FollowSymLinks 
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} ^insurance-forums.net/forum [NC] 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.insurance-forums.net/forum/$1 [L,R=301] 

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^insurance-forums.net/forum$ [NC]

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

I tried to upload the default htaccess from vbseo package but nothing happens. I still have blank pages.


can it be due to these parameters in my server settings


Local Value Master Value

safe_mode On Off

safe_mode_exec_dir no value no value

safe_mode_gid Off Off

safe_mode_include_dir no value no value


Thanks

Hello Sam, did you make a backup of you rules before you upgraded?

Hello,

try this: vbSEO Admin Panel and Links Problems

Hi Michael,

Yes I have my URL format backed up. The problem is that I cannot access vbseo cp in order to restore them

I tried that, and I can enter the vbseocp now, but it says:

Current version: vBSEO 3.2.0, Unreg
Your forums root:
Your current key: Open a support ticket or contact licenses@crawlability.com

.

In regards to this issue, please see my ticket. Maybe because I did that file edit in config_vbseo.php, now its showing as unregistered.

Many thanks for your kind assistance

I just updated my ticket with my necessary info. Thanks for your time.

Update: adding this in .htaccess file resolved the issue:

Code:

php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off

Hello Oleg,

I am really sorry to be such an a**. I was able to access vbseo cp and my license info is showing correctly now.

However, when i try to restore my URL settings I am back at ground zero of my problem. I have blank pages all around the forum including Admin Panel. It would really suck to lose my indexed links.

I have included my vbseo settings in the attached file if you need them.


It seems there must be a problem when saving settings in any vbseo database tables, cause earlier i had blank pages after I tried to save a new password. Now I am having blank pages after I click Import All vBSEO settings.
