script and vbSEO causing URL problem

Hello,

I have an issue with vbSEO.

We have a script name sponsors.html in the forum directory and a subforum named "Sponsors". Whenever we access www.ourdomain.com/forum/sponsors/ the server attempts to load our sponsors.html page and not the sub forum.

I have told vbSEO to ignore the sponsors.html file in the vbseocp.php area with the following setting:

Exclude Pages?
sponsors.html

But after saving the changes and reloading the site, it still tries to load sponsors.html when we visit www.ourdomain.com/forum/sponsors/.

Is there something else we should be doing to prevent this from happpening?

Hello Richard ,

Please create a .htaccess file within sponsors folder with the following content

Code:

RewriteEngine Off

Thanks. Just tried that but it doesn't help. That simply generates a 403 forbidden when you try accessing the URL.

What I want is /forums/sponsors/ to load the sponsors sub-forum on our site and ignore the sponsors.html page.
