settings aren't saving..

when i click save in the vbseo panel, the settings i've changed/edit arent saving...

regards

Please double check config_vbseo.php is chmod 666

it is 777.. and still isnt saving. does it require 666 - it was working ok before on 777, just recently (i'd say last 3 days) it hasnt been saving...

Hi Martyn,

777 is fine. Personally, I have found that 0666 causes files to vanish altogether.

Is config_vbseo.php writable by the server?

yes as stated before... it has been working perfectly, unsure what the issue is now..

erm - there weird thing is when you save something, it doesnt redirect you to vbseo page.. it stays in ACP with vbseo page in the iframe.. where as before when you click save it used to take you out off the ACP, if you get what i mean lol

Martyn do you have RewriteBase enabled in your .htaccess ?

should i enable this then?

Code:

#RewriteBase /

note: it worked before.... Really unsure why i should have to change it... when it worked before, since that code has never been enabled. Since the forum has started..

[update] tried & tested - still get same issue.

Hello,

do you still have the issue? Could you please open a support ticket with vbseocp password to check that?

weird thing is.. if i replace all the files to a clean install, all my previous settings are reloaded once i go into vbseocp.php file.. this is weird. like vbseocp has hacked into my forum, and not letting me change anything..

The settings are stored within the datastore if I recall correctly.

Are you running any datastore caching? Does turning it off make a difference?

As far as i no there is no program like that, or has been installed on my server.. Since i own it i would no :S and its only happened recently.

A backup copy of your vBSEO settings is stored in database and restored automatically when vBSEO is upgraded (and config_vbseo.php file is overwritten with the fresh copy).

well but that still doesnt give the reason for why i can't save settings.. yet i can create new passwords etc..

Try to upload fresh config_vbseo.php file, then manually set VBSEO_CONFIG_INIT option in it to '0'. Then open vbseocp and try to save settings.

I did that and it worked, allowed me to edit and save. i uploaded my orignal settings after saving them in xml, and the problem still happened, i then did the reset again, and this time, added my settings back, bit by bit. copying my previous settings. and the problem still occurred. So i guess its something wrong with my settings that are causing this... :S

My server settings are:
Server Type: Linux
Web Server: Apache v1.3.37
PHP: 5.2.4
PHP Max Post Size: 8.00 MB
PHP Maximum Upload Size: 20.00 MB
PHP Memory Limit: 16.00 MB
MySQL Version: 4.1.22-standard
MySQL Packet Size: 16.00 MB

I'm sure this has nothing to do with the problem..
