Help with moving from .htaccess to httpd.conf

I want to move my rewrite rules from my .htaccess to my httpd.conf, but I don't know exactly how to do it...

I know it must be like this:

<Directory /path/to/my/forum>
[insert rewrite rules here]
</Directory>

But I don't know if I need to change something of my .htaccess before...

I hope someone can help me...

Here is my .htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.elforro\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.elforro.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

And this would be my path...

Code:

<Directory /www/elforro.com.ar/htdocs>
[insert rewrite rules here]
</Directory>

I just want to know what changes should I made to my rewrite rules in order to work ok on my httpd.conf

For ex. I think this lines won't work on httpd.conf

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.elforro\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.elforro.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

you should insert rewrite rules from .htaccess into <Directory> section without changes, then restart Apache and then remove (rename) .htaccess file.

I have proven with this, but some pages show eror "page not found"

how I can fix the problem?

Thanks!

What is an example URL?

have reverted the changes in the httpconf,
because I don't want to bother the forum users.
Guitarristas.Info - Foros, Descargas, MP3, Lecciones, Ejercicios, Videos, etc...

To my I like a lot the vbseo, but the load in excess the server apache .
I need to solve that problem.

Now I have 1GB of ram,
you believe that if contract more ram the server will go better.

Thanks!
Toni.

Please check this post for some vBSEO performance suggestions: Optimization Tweaks?

Thanks, but I already read that message. . .
the most important optimization is to put the one htaccess in the http.conf,
but this option not work for my.

my question again:
you believe that if contract more ram the server will go better?

Thanks!

When I was using apache I had my rewrites like that

Code:

<Directory "/var/www/website.com/forums">
AllowOverride None
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 /forums
#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=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
</Directory>

As you can see I haven't touched anything in the rewrites, just make sure to enclose it in the forum root dir not the www root dir, and put the rules at the bottom of the httpd.conf to be sure all dependencies are loaded before and no you havent performance bug, looks like a bad configuration only.

Ok, thanks class101.
you have more webs in your server?

I tested it, but I have more forums in my server.
I need to add this intro a virtualhost tags.
#<VirtualHost *:80>
# ServerAdmin webmaster@dummy-host.example.com
# DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com
# ServerName dummy-host.example.com
# ErrorLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-error_log
# CustomLog logs/dummy-host.example.com-access_log common
#</VirtualHost>

and that cause some problems,
for that reason I opted to modify the httpcong.include
/var/www/vhosts/myweb.com/conf/httpconf.include
(same as http.conf but for a single domain).
Then I get the error "page not found" in some pages of the forum (thread, read post, etc..).

Sorry my English...

Now I have 1GB of ram,
you believe that if contract more ram the server will go better.

In most cases adding RAM improves performance, the impact differs though.

Why that cause problems ? Did you tried something like

Code:

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /www/docs/dummy-host.example.com

<Directory "/www/docs/dummy-host.example.com/forums">
AllowOverride None
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 vBulletin folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
RewriteBase /forums
#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=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

must work I have also vhost server generally one for my website and the other one for phpmyadmin, should work fine , look in error_log so to check if there is any other thing that could help to identify what are you doing wrong but if your problem is only about 404 I think its not needed to RAM upgrade because this wont magically solve the prob, I bet you have a simple rewrite problem, maybe another rewrite not from vbseo can conflict theses so

Thanks for reply

In most cases adding RAM improves performance, the impact differs though.

I hope the ram can help.
Tomorrow I will have 2GB of Ram (1Gb more than now)
I will tell him if it improved with more ram

Why that cause problems ? Did you tried something like

Yes, i tested it, but not work for my....

Code:

<VirtualHost ********:443>
	ServerName   mysite.com:443

Sure hehe...

My main problem is that since I installed the vbseo the servant it is loaded too much. Then it fails and it no longer connects with the database until I restart the server.

ha ok , either from what you copied I see one bad thing, your docroot to

DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpsdocs

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/foro>

httpsdocs != httpdocs

not sure you made the error just by showing me a sample but make sure the directory rules is correctly inside the docroot else it will be never findable

Thanks class101

I believe that it is very probable that that it was the cause for which I threw my server to the floor during several hours yesterday xD

I will attempt it again in another occasion, first I will check like everything goes with 1Gb more than ram (I have curiosity)

you believe that this code should work?

Code:

<VirtualHost ********:443>
	ServerName   mysite.com:443
	ServerAlias  mysite.com
	UseCanonicalName Off
	SuexecUserGroup         guitarristas psacln
	ServerAdmin  xxxxx@mysite.com
	DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpsdocs
	CustomLog  /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/statistics/logs/access_ssl_log plesklog
	ErrorLog     /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/statistics/logs/error_ssl_log



	<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/foro>

      RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
	</Directory>

</VirtualHost>

somebody here is working with a similar code in the htttp.conf?

I have doubts of if this
<Directory /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/foro>
goes inside the tags
</VirtualHost>

Regards!

are you sure you're in the right place?

:443 = SSL

don't you want to be on :80 ?
