    Downgrading from v3.5b back to 3.3.2

    I went to the admincp and uninstalled vbseo from the product manager.

    I uploaded/overwritten all files from the 3.3.2 package.

    Went and installed the product .xml and it showed no problems.

    I cannot access my admin control panel.

    I've uploaded the supplied .htaccess for 3.3.2 and an older backup .htaccess I had when I was using 3.3.2.

    It's nothing but a blank page. No errors

    I did the same mistake :(

    Now VBSeo isn't working (all redirected URLs in my forum gives me an 404 error) and also cannot access to VBSEO Control Pannel.

    I disabled VBSEO by now. Can anybody help me?

    I did. It's the one included in the htaccess folder

    # 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\.yourdomain\.com
    #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$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] RewriteRule testpage\.html Google [R]
    Should I modify anything there?

    Tried everything, reinstalled vBSEO 3.5.0 RC1 PL1 and had same problems as missing images, blank profile pages, unaccessible groups, etc...

    Need step by step downgrade instructions to try with a known good version of VBSEO.

    Thanks

    3.3.2 is the most stable vb3.x series product at this time. 3.5 rc2 is wokring on vb3 with a few minor bugs.


    If you want to downgrade, make sure you upload the 3.3.2 config file (in includes folder) with the

    // ****** SAVE/RESTORE SETTINGS TO DB ******
    define('VBSEO_CONFIG_INIT', '0');

    setting set to 1,

    so

    // ****** SAVE/RESTORE SETTINGS TO DB ******
    define('VBSEO_CONFIG_INIT', '1');


    then, visit vbseocp.php and save your password and your new key.


    Your old settings should pull from the DB.

    Should I delete all 3.5.1 files and uninstall it?

    Just to be sure...

    3.5.1 does not yet exist.

    If you mean 3.5 RC1, as long as you use FTP with overwrite set to on, it will not matter. When you upgrade to 3.5 rc2 or final at a later time, again, just make sure it's set to over-write again. And yes, please un-install the product from admincp, and then re-import the old product with over-write.

    You can, however, spend the time to delete the files if you wish.

    Sorry. May be I'm not clear enough.
    I'm trying to downgrade to Ver 3.3.2 as you said me:
    3.3.2 is the most stable vb3.x series product at this time.
    Maybe I'll give 3.5 RC2 a try if you advise me to.

    Thanks

    RC2 is FAR more stable than RC1 was on the 3.x vbulletin series. I would not reccomend RC1 at all, but RC2 is running pretty good. There may be a few bugs, but in general, it is working.
