Broken URLs

Does anyone know what is wrong with my forum? I just installed vbSEO 3.3.0 rc2 with vBulletin 3.8.1

Try to read one of the posts and notice how the page is forwarded to a bogus URL:

UB Forum - Powered by vBulletin

Thanks in advance for your help!

do you have 2 forums?

one is on /forums, one goes to /ch

vbseo can only work in one area.
and make sure your .htaccess file is located in the right directory.

actually, nevermind..

on closer look...
http://upscalebaby.com/ch/upscalebab...ales-bargains/

thats your path.

try opening config_vbseo.php in a text editor and entering
/ch/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com/forum/
in the "custom docroot" area

Brian, thank you for helping me sort this out

I only have one forum at upscalebaby.com/forum/

I don't know where the /ch is coming from in the URLs

My .htaccess file is located in the /forum directory. Is this the right place?

The absolute path to my vbulletin forum on my server is:
/home/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com/forum

I tried setting VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT as follows:
define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT', '/ch/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com/forum/');
and
define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT', '/home/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com/forum/');

Neither of these settings made a difference.

I also tried setting VBSEO_CUSTOM_TOPREL

Other weirdness:

When I click on the name of a forum the URL is:
http://upscalebaby.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4
I expected this to be a pretty URL like:
http://upscalebaby.com/forum/steals-and-deals/

This URL is redirected to:
http://upscalebaby.com/ch/upscalebab...ales-bargains/


I still don't understand where the "/ch" is coming from in the redirected URL.

Thanks again for your help.

Please try using the following

PHP Code:

    define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT',         '/home/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com');
    define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_TOPREL',          '/forum/'); 


Just make sure your Custom Docroot is set to correct value

I tried this:

define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT', '/home/upscalebaby/upscalebaby.com');
define('VBSEO_CUSTOM_TOPREL', '/forum/');

It didn't have any effect. I feel like the CUSTOM_DOCROOT is being ignored because my changes have had no effect at all.

Did you open vBSEO CP and save your settings without changing any other setting ?

Honestly, I know I copied all of the files correctly, but I could have misconfigured vbseo.

How do I start over?
