Forum home page url setting

[Pirate]

I installed vbseo on a new forum and the forum home page is coming up as : www.mydomain.com/index.php but I want it to come up as www.mydomain.com

Is there is setting for this?

[briansol]

yes.

find:
Define Homepage Aliases
in vbseocp towards the bottom

make sure both index.php and index.php? are in there

[Pirate]

I have tried it a number of times ..

This option:
Force Forum Root as Homepage? I have tried to set it to YES

Define Homepage Aliases I have been trying to add these two : index.php
index.php?

when I add both these settings and scroll down and click on save settings right at the bottom it takes me to another page where it says settings saved and stuff but then when I check the settings again it doesnt change and reverts back to what it was by default.

I have been doing all this with includes/config_vbseo.php file set to 666 and I have even tried to do the same thing again with chmod 777 but same issue again.

I have been trying this for some time now and then I decided to uninstall both vb and vbseo and deleted the data base and the started afresh and installed vb and vbseo again and the issue is still there :(

The versions I am using are:
vBulletin® Version 3.7.1
and VBSEO 3.2.0 RC7

Does anyone know what could I be doing wrong?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

don't you have Suhosin patch for PHP installed? If you do, please increase these settings:
suhosin.max_post_vars
suhosin.max_request_vars

[Pirate]

I spoke to the hosting support guys and they said Suhosin patch for php is installed.

What exactly should be the number for both these settings set at?

[Mert Gökçeimam]

I suggest using the following settings
suhosin.request.max_vars 2048
suhosin.post.max_vars 2048

Spoke to support at UK Web Hosting - Cheap Windows Linux cPanel Shared Reseller Web Hosting in UK they are saying its set to default which is 200 for both the settings.. and they are saying they cant change it to 2048.

The argument they are providing is that its a shared account and this setting effects the whole server.. well I have forums running at hostgator and hostmonster and a few more hosts.. they all running fine.

Any other way out of do I need to look for another host?

Can any one recommend a UK based hosting as this new forum is targeted at UK traffic.

vBulletin also suggest the settings i gave. Because without those settings some vBulletin features will not work correctly.

Spoke to eukhost.com again and their admin guy has agreed to change both the settings to 2048 let me give it another try

Thanks

[Pirate]

Its all working fine now.

VBSEO rocks

Thanks

Can some one tell me how to change these settings?

I have root access with ssh and I have whm/cpanel installed.

I cant seem to find anything on HOW to change it.

my server is a VPS so the ISP is not to keen on helping me change it. They used to be but last week when I asked about updating my cpanel I got a nasty email. so i rather just do it on my own.

Thanks for the help

Hello ,

You need to edit php.ini and look for the variables listed above. As you are using cPanel probably your php.ini is located at /usr/local/lib
Login your server via ssh then turn root by su -
When you are root type the following

nano /usr/local/lib/php.ini

Check the above settings , update them overwrite existing php.ini when you are done.
Then restart apache.
