vBSEO interfering with Mobile API

Hello,

I was just testing out my vBulletin Mobile app, which uses the mobile api, and it looks like vBSEO is interfering with the requests.

http://www.hostcule.com/api.php shows HTTP 404, due to vBSEO.

Any ideas how I can overcome this, for the app and other requests to touch api.php directly?

We can't comment about anything until we have the full code in our hands and test it with vBSEO.

Can the rewrite be disable for specific files then?

You can try altering your htaccess like

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron)
to
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|api\.php)

to try to bypass vbseo for the api script.

Did this solution work? Is there any other solution to this problem? I tried the solution on my forum and it didnt seem to work.

Thanks

Did you try adding it to both areas (where admincp is listed) in the htaccess file?

There is nothing you need to worry about this. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/api.php as you can see even on vBulletin.com api.php is giving 404 as the script is designed to give 404 header on a direct call

PHP Code:

if (!$api_script)
{
    header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
    die();
} 


I have this, i will try to update

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/

Updated to :

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|api\.php|clientscript|cpstyles|imag es)/

same error :

Invalid URL Please check your site's Admin Control Panel, make sure the API is enabled, and verify that the parameters here are the same as the site.

Does it work correct if you disable vBSEO ?

I didn't tried that because could be a big problem after i will go to next steps ... and then enable vbseo again. At vbulletin.com say that vbseo is the problem :(

Topic on vbulletin, i also posted screens

Please try disabling vBSEO from vBSEO Cp and temporary rename your .htaccess file to .htaccess.old to see if these will solve the issue

Doesn't work with vbseo disabled, same error :(

In this case, if vbseo is fully disabled, the error is NOT coming from vbseo. You should go back to vb with vbseo off as it is and have them troubleshoot it further.

I've been working with vBulletin support and trying to figure out an error I'm getting. I wanted to see if anyone else here might have seen this.

I already followed these instructions:

In your vbseo settings, you will need to add api.php to your exclude section.
1) vBSEO CP -> General Settings -> vBSEO Options -> Exclude Pages.
2) Add api.php
3) Save your settings.

But when I finish configuring the app I load the "Review & Publish" page, like this:

Then I scroll down to the bottom of the same page and see this (look for text in red square):

I'm specifically trying to figure out why it says "Failed when testing Blogs".

Does it test Blogs first? That would mean it's not working at all.

Or does it tests the forums first? That would mean it's something specific to the blogs.

Anyone experience anything similar to this? Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I should add that all blog pages can only be seen by registered users, not by guests.

Edit 2: Disabling the blog entirely fixed the issue. I should have tried that sooner...

Edit 3: Temporarily letting guests be able to view the blogs fixed the issue.
