I think I need a manual.

I keep getting the:

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

It adds a /sdb/ to the url. (ex. http://www.mysite.com/sdb/forumname/ )when I remove the /sdb/the link works fine.... (ex. www.mysite.com/forumname) what do i edit to make the /sdb/ not show up in the URL?

What do you have set for your Forums URL in AdminCP?

http://www.mysite.com/

Do you have /sdb/ listed in any other settings? Mod_rewrite?

Is it a legitimate directory on your site?

i amnot sure what you mean by mod_rewrite...

here is my .htaccess

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
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 /
RewriteRule ^(sitemap.*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


aside from that there is no /sdb/ in any of the setting that I set in the vbseocp.php

and no... it is not a ligitimate directory on the site.

any suggestions???

Further details required for troubleshooting. PM sent.

Perhaps providing a forum URL would actually help?

Update: the problem with specific server config. Fixed.
