Welcome guys... I don't sport the fro no mo... (hey man slap mah fro)

....did anyone get their archive in this last Google update? I was too slow for this one, but I have seen the googlebot back a few hundred times since then so I think he's starting to take the bait.

OK! If everyone has left their footer intact (you did read the big licensing agreement at the top, right?) --- then we officially have our FIRST VBULLETIN SPIDERED INTO GOOGLE!

Congrats Streicher of Studenten-city.de!

The one guy that had some of the worst trouble installing this piece-of-hack-- he's the guy that manages to get in Google first! Only a few pages so far but now the spider knows where you live :)

my footer is of course still there :)

I can get it to work, but not on a subdomain. Is there away to make it work with subdomains?

sorry, but I do not get it to work. is there a hhtpd.conf setting I am missing?

I have the .htacces-file in place in /archiv, but i still get the 404-message that is defined in the .htaccess in htdoc-root - doesn't the .htaccess in /archive-directory overwrite the root one?

jamez: sorry no clue on subdomains, you need more of a linux expert than me.

robert! didn't know you were still having trouble.. I believe the setting you are looking for will be in access.conf (possibly httpd.conf)... it is called "Allow Override" for .htaccess on a directory level. It is fairly well documented inside of the file. You need to Allow Override All or at least the part about redirects.

hope this helps... I'm sure someone with more apache knowledge can offer better advice.

Yeah, I found that on apache.org and in httpd.conf and I enabled it. Now my customized error document defined via a .htaccess file in / works fine, but not in /archiv.

anyone here that can help me?!
