VBSEO Installation problems

I just purchased VBSEO,

I ran the test script and it tells me Zend Optimization is not installed however it is as seen below.

Code:

PHP Version 5.2.0

    System Windows NT LIQUID-6YVQX1BI 5.2 build 3790  Build Date Nov  2 2006 11:50:55  Configure Command cscript /nologo configure.js  "--enable-snapshot-build" "--with-gd=shared"  Server API ISAPI  Virtual Directory Support enabled  Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\Program Files\SWSoft\Plesk\Additional\PleskPHP5\php.ini  PHP API 20041225  PHP Extension 20060613  Zend Extension 220060519  Debug Build no  Thread Safety enabled  Zend Memory Manager enabled  IPv6 Support enabled  Registered PHP Streams php, file, data, http, ftp, compress.zlib    Registered Stream Socket Transports tcp, udp  Registered Stream Filters convert.iconv.*, string.rot13, string.toupper, string.tolower, string.strip_tags, convert.*, consumed, zlib.*  
 This program makes use of the Zend Scripting Language Engine:
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend Technologies
    with Zend Extension Manager v1.2.0, Copyright (c) 2003-2007, by Zend Technologies
    with Zend Optimizer v3.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2007, by Zend Technologies

any help would be great

The test script cannot always detect Zend. Are you able to open the vBSEO Control Panel interface in step B of the installation? If so, you're fine.

Thanks,

I have installed VBSEO now.

Problem tho, the forum home comes up fine and the links from the forum home appear to be building correctly however I now get a 404 not found error on all VBSEO links.

Any ideas where to start ?

That points to your rewrite rules, ISAPI_Rewrite, etc. Did you add the vBSEO rewrite rules to your ISAPI_Rewrite .ini file?

No, no idea that was needed ... I uploaded the isapi rewrite file that came with the VBSEO package ... what else do I need to do ?

You need to install and configure ISAPI_Rewrite, using the supplied rules in your httpd.ini: ISAPI_Rewrite Documentation - URL Rewrite engine for IIS, ISAPI Filter for URL Rewriting, mod_rewrite for IIS

After hours of attempting to get the VBSEO and rewrites I am getting really frustrated.

Original VBSEO ISAPI rewrite Config File:

Code:

[ISAPI_Rewrite]

# When hosting multiple sites on the same server, it is
# recommended to  limit the rewrite rules to the domain(s)
# where vBSEO is installed. Enable (remove '#' at the beginning
# to activate) the following rule and replace 'yourdomain.com'
# with your actual installation domain name.
#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?yourdomain.com
RewriteRule ^/forums/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?yourdomain.com
RewriteCond URL ^/forums/(?!avatars|attachments|iconimages).*
RewriteRule ^([^\?]*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip)(?:\?(.*))?)$ $1 [I,L]

#RewriteCond Host: (?:www\.)?yourdomain.com
RewriteCond URL ^/forums/(?!admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/forums/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

This config does NOT work when your domain is replaced by mine (forum.iscrap.net)





A test ISAPI rewrite file - This works!

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.iscrap.net
RewriteRule ^/testrewrite.php$ /testrewrite2.php

Untitled Document --- > redirects to testrewrite2.php - Works!

Modified VBSEO Config File

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.iscrap.net
RewriteRule ^/((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.iscrap.net
RewriteCond URL ^/(?!avatars|attachments|iconimages).*
RewriteRule ^([^\?]*\.(?:gif|swf.*|jpg|png|css|xml|js|htm|txt|zip)(?:\?(.*))?)$ $1 [I,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.iscrap.net
RewriteCond URL ^/(?!admincp/|modcp/|clientscript/|cpstyles/|images/|search\.php).*
RewriteRule ^/(.+?)(?:\?(.*))?$ /vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1(?2&$2) [L]

Error Log from ISAPI_rewrite - Sorry for the extra crap

For some reason the pattern is not being matched for the url redirection.


I have read as much as I can on the ISAPI end of things without any success.

Did you try it without the Host lines, since those are commented out in the default vBSEO rules? Or are you running multiple domains on the server?

I am running multiple domains.

However with the

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} forum.iscrap.net
RewriteRule ^/testrewrite.php$ /testrewrite2.php


testrewrite1.php ---> Brings upt testrewrite2.php as it should


Rules in place I have proven the host condition does infact work

The error log also proves it the host is matched but the actual Rewrite rule is not matching.
