    Im new to use .htaccess so I dont know that to do realy...

    the content is:

    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\.mysite\.com

    #RewriteRule (.*) http://forum.mysite.com/$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]


    ------

    when I try to go to a forum under a category , it tryes to go to www.mysite.com/forum/movies/

    and not www.mysite.com/movies/

    and then I get this message:

    vBulletin Message

    Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the admin.


    how do I fix this ?

    10 minutes this time
    update: manually defined VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT in config_vbseo.php file resolved the issue.
