Also getting 'Not Found' errors.

Just installed the new 1.5 release on a clean build of vB 3.53. I don't have any hacks installed I can imagine conflicting.

The product is enabled through the admincp.

mod_rewrite is working on other vhosts on the same box.

I've got the forumroot under a directory called 'f'.

I made the edits to the three templates mentioned in the install.html.

I've tried using both the default .htaccess rewrite rules and the ones generated by the auto-generator in the other thread.

If I navigate to /f/, I see the forum display as I expect.

If I click on a link to a subforum, I get:

Code:

Not Found



The requested URL /f/f-boston-beer-party-15.html was not found on this server.

If I click on a link to the latest updated thread in the 'Last Post' column, I get:

Code:

Not Found



The requested URL /showthread.php was not found on this server.

I've tried adding 'RewriteBase /f' to the .htacces as specified in the install.html, but with that option, I get:

Code:

Internal Server Error



The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

and the apache2 error log shows:

Code:

mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

(Incidentally, the install.html lists that option with a space, as 'Rewrite Base', which causes Apache to report an error. Probably want to fix that...)

Now, if I manually prepend the /f/ directory onto the rules, like so:

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(showthread\.php)$ f/showthread.php?&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

then clicking on the link on forumdisplay's 'Last Post' column does work as desired, but only for that one rule. Everything else I can think to try still breaks.

Let me know if I've left any info out.

Is it a german Board ?

@vasudeva - Does your .htaccess file include RewriteBase /f (if it wasn't generated automatically)?

Got the official 1.5 working nicely on my test forum, also been trying to play about with the file name output...things like threadname-tid instead of t-threadname-id...again it's working fine on my test board, although i get db errors when trying to actvate it on my main board.

But as far as the default mod goes, working just as it should - thanks for producing it. :)

No, American English. Haven't touched any language or internationalization settings.

Yes, as posted:

Code:

Internal Server Error

It didn't work and in fact produced some sort of looping situation. It was not auto-generated by the helper script.

Sorry, didn't see that part of the post 1st time round. Have you tried adding $myurl to the front of the re-written paths instead of /f/ ?

EDIT: btw, i think the product file contains two showthread.php?f=xyz&page= url replacements. Once i changed the top one to showthread.php?t=xyz&page= i could access all thread pages, whereas before i got invalid link errors.

PHP Code:


		
			
        #------------------------------
    # Replace showthread.php?t=XYZ&page=
    #------------------------------

    $found = preg_match_all('#<a href="showthread\.php\?t=([0-9]+)&amp;page=([0-9]+)"#i', $output, $matches);

    if($found) {
        $ids = array();
        $test = array();
        for($i = 0; $i < $found; $i++) {
            if(is_numeric($matches[1][$i])) {
                $ids[] = $matches[1][$i];

                $tid =$matches[1][$i];
                $test["$tid"]["page$i"] = $matches[2][$i];
                        }
        }
        for ($i = 0; $i < (count($ids)); $i++) {
            $fname = urlize($GLOBALS[foruminfo][title]); 
            $title = urlize($GLOBALS[vRewrite_thread]["$ids[$i]"][title]);
            $tid = $ids[$i];
            $page = $test["$ids[$i]"]["page$i"];
                           $parentid = $GLOBALS[foruminfo][forumid];
            if (empty($fname)) {
                            $parentid = $GLOBALS[vRewrite_thread]["$ids[$i]"][ownerid];
                            $fname = urlize($GLOBALS[vRewrite_forum][$parentid][title]);

            }

            $new = (($vbulletin->options['vRewrite_showthread'] == 1) ? $fname : 'f-' . $fname . '-' . $parentid);
            if($vbulletin->options['vRewrite_page'] == "1") {
                $output = str_replace("<a href=\"showthread.php?t={$tid}&amp;=$page\"", "<a href=\"$new/$title-page$page-t$tid{$vbulletin->options['vRewrite_extension_showthread']}\"", $output);
            } else {
                $output = str_replace("<a href=\"showthread.php?t={$tid}&amp;page=$page\"", "<a href=\"$new/$title-t$tid/page$page{$vbulletin->options['vRewrite_extension_showthread']}\"", $output);
            }
        }
    }

Will support people more soon. I am a bit busy these days. My apologies.
/me hopes Tyler (Immortal) can help

The requested URL /search-getnew.html/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

anyone else getting this?

if you are NOT rewriting member.php, you need the following in your htaccess file

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/(member\.php)$ member.php?$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Bhuwan, was that towards me? I am rewriting members.php and that works fine, it was just the search portion that wasn't working...

Ok, I've installed and it appears to be working fine now. I'll test more in tomorrow. Just one question...

How will a post like this "http://www.njflyfishing.com/vBulletin/north-eastern-general-discussion-forum/t-fishing-regulation-question-4368.html"

get spidered?

If I do a google search for, "North Eastern...etc..." Will it come up, or do people have to search for, "north-eastern-...etc..."?

Why the dashes? Also, do I really need the prefix's before each link. Can I remove the dashes? Would it make sense?

Submitting to google like this... SHould I submit, www.mysite.com or www.mysite.com/vBulletin

Thanks!

Thanks!
