Pre-Install question

Hello, I am about to install vbSEO RC3 ionCube

After looking through the .htaccess, I see:

Code:

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} (admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !chat
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]

However, I'm currently using vbseo_sitemap, and I have had to make the following edit because my forums are located at http://domain.ext/forums

Code:

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

My question is this:

Do I need to change the .htaccess provided to include /forums/ in it as well?

ie, rather than:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

I would instead use:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

If so, what all do I need to edit to ensure this installation goes as smoothly as possible?

Thank you.

Well, I went ahead and installed and chanced it. Since it goes in the /forum_root/ dir I suppose it wasn't needed.

I did have the issue with the ionCube*.so's that were included, the installation and troubleshoot.txt should be updated to include information about that.

Hello,

"/forums/" part is not required in .htaccess, it should work in either way.
