Forum Link Problem

[filjan]

I have a forum that contains a forum link. If you visit here you can see the link SFF League Website:

SFF OOTP League - Sport Discussions and Simulation Leagues

If you click on the link, it should take you to Sport Discussions and Simulation Leagues but it returns you to the home page of Sport Discussions and Simulation Leagues

What do I need to change?

Hello,

do you have defined the forum link as:

http://www.sportsfanfest.com/ootp/

?

Is "ootp" folder existing on your server?

[filjan]

In the Forum Manager, I entered

http://www.sportsfanfest.com/ootp

Yes, the folder exists. If I strip out the code in httpd.ini for ISAPI_Rewrite I can see the web page. If I turn off vbSEO I can see the web page.

Please try to change the link to:

http://www.sportsfanfest.com/ootp/

I typed it in wrong, I did have the link entered as:

http://www.sportsfanfest.com/ootp/

I did find out today that even if I turn off vbSEO I still have problems. It must be a problem with the ISAPI_Rewrite and the code in httpd.ini. If I comment out the rules, I can get the web page to come up.

My code in httpd.ini is:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# Defend your computer from some worm attacks
RewriteRule .*(?:global.asa|default\.ida|root\.exe|\.\.).* . [F,I,O]

RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?sportsfanfest.com
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(?:gif|jpg|png|css|xml|js))$ $1 [I,L]
RewriteRule ^/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?sportsfanfest.com
RewriteCond URL ^/(?!admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

I don't understand the expressions in the above code, but I must be missing something, or I need to change something.

[Oleg Ignatiuk]

Please try to change it to:

RewriteCond URL ^/(?!ootp/|admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
