Crazy .htaccess file??!

When I try to make changes in the vBSEO control panel, it takes down my whole website.

Does this have something to do with my .htaccess? It was giving me trouble before, and I'm not sure how I ended up with it, but here is my .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.
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\.saskforum\.ca
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.saskforum.ca/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

Your .htaccess file looks ok.

What change do you make in vBSEO Cp and what happens after the changes.

ANY change to the config of the vbseo control panel options (I wanted to replace post link with permalink) takes the whole site down. I can fix it by "reverting" to a "full backup xml" file for vbseo, which I've wisely learned to make before every single change in there. It goes down after a few-seconds-long delay. It doesn't come back.

I can't make full use of my vbSEO while this is ongoing...

I don't know what could be causing this!

Edit: the options don't save, also, in vbseo control panel however it still takes the site down. For instance changing the option won't save it from the dropdown even though it says it sucessfully saved...

Also, I noticed I can get to www.saskforum.ca/index.php when it's "down". However I can't get to www.saskforum.ca. or saskforum.ca.

This is the current, working configuration of my vbseo.

Sorry, can you be more specific? What settings am I changing to other settings?

Suhosin has special configuration options , you need to change the ones i posted to the defined values.

Is there an alternative solution? Host does not want to/cannot change those options.

Unfortunately no , you may want to change host as these are suggested settings for Suhosin configuration.
