    Problems with new install of vBSEO and Sitemap Generator

    Just recently installed vbSEO 3.2 Gold and the vBSEO Sitemap generator 2.2 and I have a few problems:

    1. Sitemap generator isn't working, throws database error (table vb_linkback does not exist)

    This is on PHP 5.2 using MySQL 5.0.24a with the MySQLi connector

    2. vbSEO seems to be working but it's trying to rewrite my css file urls and breaking my template.

    Specifically this css file:
    http://forums.gamer-junkie.com/annou...82b2-00001.css

    Should be:

    1) That error is a 2.1 error. Did you upload the product with allow over-rite?

    2) looks like you have some pathing issues due to the forums. subdomain. Try adding in the rewritebase directive in your htaccess file

    1. Brand new install the first time. Just tried to re-install with overwrite and I'm still getting the db error.

    2. Added the rewriteBase and still having problems with the one css file mentioned above.

    can you check your database in phpmyadmin to see which table you have? linkback or vbseo_linkback

    This was fixed in sitemap version 2.2.

    You can see the thread with the fix has been closed.
    vBSEO Sitemap Update with 3.2.0 Release Candidates

    I really think you might've downloaded the old version, 2.1. Try re-downloading the package from the download area again.

    Going to try and re-download the sitemap generator files.

    In the meantime I checked my db with pma and I don't see either table linkback or vbseo_linkback....

    The vbseo_linkback table is created when vbseo 3.2 is installed.

    Try re-installing the vbseo product with allow overwrite as well

    Alright, re-installed vBSEO and the vbseo_linkback table was created this time. Generated the sitemap manually which ran without errors, but I can't access my sitemap file.

    I've checked the data folder and the sitemaps have been created there, but they are not being moved for some reason?

    Can you post your full current .htaccess contents?

    Here you go:

    Code:
    # 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 /
    
    #RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
    #RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
    
    RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
    RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images|vbseo_sitemap)/
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]
    
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/plain text/xml text/javascript text/css application/x-javascript

    "vbseo_sitemap" should be added in this line:
    Code:
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
