site root vbseo problem.

Hey,
I have an index page (site/index.php) that is integrated with my forums (site/forum)

I now wanted to integrate it with vbseo so I used the ?vbseorelpath in the .htaccess file.

If I go to: 'site/' it works fine, but if I go to 'site/index.php' I get redirected to 'site/forum/?vbseorelpath=../'

Somebody knows the solution for this problem?
thx,
seba

Hello,

please post the contents of your.htaccess file in the root folder.

# 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 /forum
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&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Hello,

you don't have to put vBSEO's .htaccess to the root folder (it should be located in the forum/ folder ONLY).

But I saw other people doing this...
So I want to use custom rewrite rules for root pages...

But it is not the same as original vBSEO .htaccess.

Please try the following:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !forum/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ forum/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

k, thank you very much, but the problem I now have is with a subdomain & vbseo.
I can use vbseo out of my forum directory.
I have a directory located like: www.example.com/forum/portfolio/ and I have a subdomain with that directory as target.

But if I use the subdomain, with a seo url it says:
/forum/vbseo.php is not found.
however if I use: www.example.com/forum/portfolio/seolink.html it does work....

Hello,

probably this is because there is no vBSEO files in the target subdomain.

hey,
the subdomain's target is: www.example.com/forum/portfolio/
The vbseo files are in /forum/
I can use vbseo if I use the full url, but if I use the subdomain I get the error the files don't exist.

So do I have to copy these files into /forum/portfolio/ ?

Hello,

I'm not sure if that will work - the described functionality is supposed to work in the root of the same domain only.
