vbseocp not saving changes

vbseocp seems to have stopped saving my changes. I don't know if it's related, but the only thin I've been doing to it recently is adding about 400 links in the acronyms box.

If I add/remove any acronym, or try and remove all the acronyms, it doesn't save the change

The page appears to save - it doesn't hang and takes only a second or two to refresh - but nothing's changed on the refreshed page

Running 3.2.0 RC7 - Any ideas?

Try this:

CHMOD 666 the 'vB-root/includes/config_vbseo.php' file.

Remember to change it back to 644 after you are done making changes.

Thanks Joe, but it's definitely CHMOD 666 when I try and change it.

In my server files config_vbseo.php is still showing as last changed 21/06/2008 and vbseocp doesn't alter anything after I try to make a change and save all settings

I can make changes directly to the file using winscp, but nothing changes through vbseo

Stu

try 777. 666 doesn't work for me either.

Please also try adding this in .htraccess file:

Code:

php_flag magic_quotes_runtime off

nope, sorry, neither of those two seem to have fixed and I still can't save changes

I recently had to get the host to block an ip and restart the server if that'll make any difference? but apart from that I can't what else has changed on the server to suddenly make it not work

Stu

Please open a support ticket with ftp access for troubleshooting.

i got the same problem while ago .. and im sure its about config_vbseo.php attributes
CHMOD to 666 or 777 or even 744 .. maybe ur host blocked 777
after change make sure to CHMOd the file back to 644

I got the same error after gradually adding many Acronym Expansions.

After having 222 lines of expansions to links, I could no longer save any vBSEO settings. After reading this thread I first asked our programmer to look at these CHMODs that were suggested, but he said that the problem is the large list of acronyms that vBSEO is saving to the config file itself, making it too big to upload to our server.

After clearing the acronyms list from the file, I was again able to edit settings and the acronyms list that I edited to be a bit smaller, along with some other ping etc settings lists.

The acronym expansion is a great tool, and I'd like to be able to use it more extensively, but it seems that the feature is hindered by this. Any suggestions what to do to get a big acronym list working?

If the size of config file truly is the problem, then could vBSEO makers upgrade the feature somehow to make the acronym exapansion use less characters and therefore the config file smaller?

Example of what I have to write now to get both blue widgets and blue widget get linked to my blue widgets page:
'blue widgets'=>'http://www.domain.com/blue-widget-page/'
'blue widget'=>'http://www.domain.com/blue-widget-page/'

Could it for example be possible to use only one line to accomplish this, and use a variable at end of blue widgets to check for the s letter? And if you're most of the time using your own root domain, how about making it possible to replace the beginning of the url like this? =>'%root%/blue-widget-page/'

Hello,

since acronym expansion is applied on the fly (in realtime), it's recommended to keep the number of replacements lower to avoid affecting the performance.

Can we get some improvements to this feature in a future version, that helps reducing number of replacement entries?

For example like in my post above, I need to enter two lines of replacements to be able to replace both widget and widgets.

If anyone else is having this problem and the above didn't fix it I've found a solution which helped me.

In your .htaccess file add the following as it was my server settings causing the issue:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>
