people can see in folders.

People can see in the folder Index of /forums/arcade and that has never been like that until installing vbseo.

The arcade is here Gamerz Needs - For All Your Gaming Needs!

The arcade folder is chmod 755 which is normal, and I have checked everyone elses arcade and there folder does not let you see inside it.

I'm kinda worried that maybe other folders may be able to be exploited now.

You need to put a blank index.html in that directory. That wouldn't be caused by vBSEO though.... Maybe you accidentally deleted the index.html that comes with arcade?

vBulletin comes with blank index.html files in most directories to prevent directory browsing.

Okay thanks, I've just learnt something, so in future If I create a folder, and put stuff in it that i dont want people to see, i just put blank index.html in it.


How do I do this:
In vbseo I made it so any 404 is redirected to the forums, however, that only works from /forums/on..... and does not work for /on... So how do I get this redirect to work.

thanks.

Hello Matt,

you can create the following .htaccess file in the site's root:

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forums/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.site.com/ [L,R=301]

Worked perfectly. thanks.
