Testing on new server, VBSEO not working

msimonds · #1 01-10-2008, 11:13 AM

I am moving my site to a new server and I have moved the site, reinstalled VBSEO 3.1.0 but it doesn't seem to work

The plugin is turned on and mod_rewrite is also installed

Here is a phpinfo > phpinfo()

You can also go to my front page > SportsRant.com - Sports Talk With An Attitude
and see that my custom CMS rewrites are working

Here is my .htaccess file

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 %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php(/.*)?)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

I know that it is something probably simple, but I just cannot figure it out

Thanks,
Mike

I wanted to add that the rewrite is working in my forums, but this is on a custom Mod that I have for a hot topic > What is your greatest sports moment - Sportsrant Community

why wouldn't vbseo be rewriting the others? Again any help would be appreciated

Hello Mike,

try to manually define your domain root folder in VBSEO_CUSTOM_DOCROOT option in config_vbseo.php file.

msimonds · #4 01-10-2008, 12:08 PM

Thanks for the quick reply Oleg, but that did not work

I tried the following:

Rant Forums
Rant Forums
/home/rantman/public_html/forums/
/home/rantman/public_html/forums

And that did not do it man, anything else you can think of?

msimonds · #5 01-10-2008, 12:16 PM

could this be something that is causing it:
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

and if so, how do I rewrite them to the test server with IP 216.120.255.91 or 216.120.255.91/~rantman

Sorry to be trouble here man, just need to test this and make sure everything works and is configured correctly on this new server

Try "/home/rantman/public_html".
Also, please upload phpinfo script to your new server so that I can check it.

msimonds · #7 01-10-2008, 02:59 PM

Done > phpinfo()
Change Made to config file also, nothing has changed Oleg

I appreciate you taking the time to look into this

Could it be something with the temporary license that I have issued to me for this test server?

Oleg Ignatiuk · #8 01-10-2008, 04:02 PM

Please try to also set VBSEO_CUSTOM_TOPREL option to "/forums/".

msimonds · #9 01-10-2008, 04:35 PM

Done Man and no change

msimonds · #10 01-10-2008, 05:05 PM

Oleg are you sure that it is not something to do with the temporary license. I have had problems in the past with a license where it disabled my VBSEO on my live site and Joe had to correct the URL or something like that?

reason I say that is if you follow this link > What is your greatest sports moment - Sportsrant Community

and look at the breadcrumb, it seems to be working there!

msimonds · #11 01-10-2008, 05:07 PM

now it seems to be working! Did you change something here?

msimonds · #12 01-10-2008, 05:12 PM

something is strange:

If you go to Rant Forums or /~rantman/forums/ is does not work

BUT

If you go to Rant Forums or just /forums/ then it works

I am not sure, but I guess once I move it will work just fine. Does that make sense to you at all

Looks like this happens since it's located ina temp folder (~rantman).
