    Switching forum style does not work blank page

    I have the problem that the quick forum style chooser does not work when vbSEO plugin is on. With vbSEO off it does work.

    I get a blank page when the url is forum/index.php?styleid=xyz or /forum/?styleid=xyz

    So I used the good old telnet and found:

    Code:
    Escape character is '^]'.
    GET /forum/index.php?styleid=40 HTTP/1.0
    
    HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
    Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2009 20:40:38 GMT
    Server: Apache
    Location: http:///forum/index.php
    Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent
    Content-Length: 0
    Connection: close
    Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
    So it looks like the redirect URL is wrong.

    On my development server the same stuff with a copy of the site does work (all settings are the same). I checked htaccess, which is correct.

    Only difference:
    Real Server: Debian 4 with Apache 2.2.3 and PHP 5.2.0
    Dev Server: OS X 10.5 with Apache 2.2.9 and PHP 5.2.6
    Both are set up to use mod_php. Memory Limit is > 128 MB on both.

    vBulletin is 3.8.0 and vbSEO 3.3.0.

    I have really no idea why I get a blank page.

    Hi Oleg. I checked already that setting.

    It was http://www.example.com/forum

    I changed it to /forum only. Then it works.

    The odd thing is that on my dev box the url is still set to http://www.example.com/forum and it works. I don't know where the difference is.

    Update: No that is not the solution.
    After altering URL to /forum vbSEO says unregistered. And then it is off and the style switching works, the same as disabling the plugin.

    So problem is not solved.

    Thanks, I fixed it. It was a addon block in vbadvanced that I don't have on my dev server yet.

    After disabling this block it works again. It seems that the variables are overriden, really ugly.

    So thank you for your help.
