Can't Save settings!

Hello after installing vbseo succesfully i can't save settings in the vbseo control panel it just redirects me to the password page, i read on another thread it was to do with PHP but downgrading isnt an option for me on my server so is there any other way around this?

thanks

Did you change the permissions of config_vbseo.php to 777?

Yes i chmod to 777 with no luck!

If you'd like to open a support ticket with a temporary FTP login I can take a look.

Ok np ill do that now

Fixed thanks!

How was this issue resolved as i am also encountering the same issues with all RC6 copies.

You should manually clear it in includes/config_vbseo.php file:
FIND:

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_ADMIN_PASSWORD',          'XXXX); 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

define('VBSEO_ADMIN_PASSWORD',          ''); 


then open vbseocp and define your new password in the corresponding input fields (do not enter it manually in config file).

I'm confused, after installation I CHMODded the vbseocp.php to 666, then I entered a password. After I went through and looked at everything and saved what I needed to, I changed it to 644. Now that it's password protected should I set it to 777?

You should not change permissions for vbseocp.php file. You should only set config_vbseo.php file to 0666 when you modify it (define password or change settings) and revert it to 0644 once you are all set.

This may seem like a dumb question, but why password protect the file if you are unable to write to it? I mean, wouldn't it make sense to make access to an admin cp similar to VBulletins? i.e. once you get in via a password, you can write till your hearts content? I have the permissions to config_vbseo.php and to vbseocp.php set at 644, I receive an error when I login to vbseocp saying Warning: config_vbseo is not writeable and that my settings won't be saved.

To disallow reading your configuration.

You should set config_vbseo.php file permissions to 0666 if you want to change your settings (and revert to 06444 AFTER changes were applied).
