I just installed vbulletin and vbseo, the rewritten pages are blank.

http://www.easymarketingforum.com/forum/
I just did this vbSEO install and followed the directions exactly as written. Now none of my topics or forums display when clicked. What step did I mess up?
Server is windows 2003 and I did install isapi-rewrite free version after reading in the presales questions that it would work fine with it. ( Is VBSEO Windows 2003 Server STD 2nd EDIT Compatible ? )
Thanks.

Did you add the rules from the text file (in the do not upload folder) to the httpd config file on IIS?

yes I did!
added this to the httpd.conf file

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
# When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
# recommended to limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
# where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
# to activate) the following rule and replace 'easymarketingforum.com'
# with your actual installation domain name.
#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?easymarketingforum.com
RewriteRule ^/forum/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond URL ^/forum/(?!avatars|attachments|iconimages).*
RewriteRule ^([^\?]*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip)(?: \?(.*))?)$ $1 [I,L]
#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond URL ^/forum/(?!admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/forum/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

try turning on the host feature.

change

#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?easymarketingforum.com

to

RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?easymarketingforum.com

(remove the #)

OK done and I get the same result.

Can you get any rewrite rule (non-vBSEO) working for testing? Like this one:

Code:

RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R]

it should redirect domain.com/testpage.html to Google.

yesh that seems to work
http://www.easymarketingforum.com/testpage.html

Please change the last rewrite rule to:

Code:

RewriteRule ^/forum/(.+?)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

rule changed and still get the same result

Please open a support ticket with server access to check the issue.

ticket sent!

Update: the following rewrite rules worked:

Code:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
# recommended to  limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
# where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
# to activate) the following rule and replace 'easymarketingforum.com'
# with your actual installation domain name.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum/(avatars|attachments|iconimages).*
RewriteRule ^(.*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip))$ $1 [I,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteRule ^/forum/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} .*easymarketingforum.com
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/forum/(admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/forum/(.+?)$ /forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

Thank you that did the trick! You're awesome!

I'm glad we got it resolved!
