does anyone have any ideas why this will not work on apache2 ??

I know apache is reading and processing the .htaccess file because i've put in options like indexes with fancyindexing and that works.

I keep getting an error that indicates the url was not found on the server and the apache error says "/usr/local/mysite.com/upload/archive/" does not exist?

I've just spent two hours and it won;t work. It works on my 1.3.27 apache server just fine.

just as a test I added archive to the mime types associated with php in my httpd.conf file and removed the 301 redirect from the .htaccess and that work. I can also change the redirect and point to my apache1.3.27 server and that server displays the archive page ...but the apache2 server will not serve the page

out of ideas....

do you have any?

It's working fine on my localhost with the latest Apache version.
Make sure you configure your conf file properly.

well. I check my 1.3.27 conf file line for line to my 2.0 cnf file and there are no differences that would could be attributable to the problem. Would you om or email me a copy of your conf file?

thanks

well...after 4 hours of testing I can confidently say that this hack does not work properly under Apache2 running on Linux.

and that's a shame because this is a great hack.

I compiled apache 1.3 and put it on the same server as apache2.0 and made the httpd.conf file exactly the same (with a few minor exceptions required by apache2.0 and when I fire up apache1.3 on the server this hack works. when I fire up apache2 it does not.

oh well...

it's a shame google and msn spidered thousands of my pages and they all now lead to broken links.

If you got it working on apache2 running under RH Linux, I'd like to hear from you and what you did to get it to work.

This hack is awesome. I've had it going for a couple months now. I have more traffic than ever, and my google rankings are very good. I went ahead and added a popup to the archive and so far i'm making 2-3 dollars a day off of it. It's enough to more than pay for my webhosting every month. Here is my archive link http://www.club18t.com/vbulletin/archive/

Here is the popup place if you want to try it out

This is freaking me out....

I installed this hack. For now I have ~ 30 000 unique visitors on my site & forum, but... Google bots are mad... All those guess from the attaced picture are google boots !

I will need a bigger server ? :eek:

This is nothing, I had at once 48 Google crawlers, on our web site. :)
The server handle it very easy.

I guess the place I posted earlier is no longer accepting new members. You guys can try these out though. I hear very good comments from the users. Like I said they are just a decent way to make some extra cash off the new found archive trafficThis one

This is the other one. It appears to me much less intrusive to your guests though which is nice Here

So, is it recommended to put a NOINDEX NO FOLLOW tag on dynamic vb pages, since we prefer the static html archives to be indexed ?

Cordially,

Hello,

I moved my server and i am getting this error now.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare archive_nopermission() (previously declared in /home/coupons/public_html/global.php:378) in /home/coupons/public_html/coupons/admin/functions.php on line 2468

i uninstalled the vbhomelite + the indexer and reinstalled it again..
i am not able to figure out the error..

any help/guidance is appreciated..

TIA

the url is http://www.couponsnext.com

btw the indexer + the forums works fine..

http://www.couponsnext.com/coupons

the url is http://www.couponsnext.com/coupons/archive/index.php


i am really confused now

You probably use the vbHome script.
Check the specific vbHL archive add-on, in order to get it working perfectly.

thank you...problem solved..should have read everything..but managing 30+ sites a day is no joke as well ;)

This hack is genius.
I thought It would build static pages and take much space and processor power to do so. I was suprised when I understood the trick used to transform vb url in "fake" simple html looking urls.

I hate to ask the obvious, but I can't seem to find any link that will actually allow me to download this hack. Where's this link, please?

Just to say that, inspired by this hack, I've moddified a lot of my PHP/MySQL driven website now to accept simple name_number.html URLs instead of news.php?id=34 type URLs, and Google is crawling all over the site and indexing many more pages than ever before!

Thanks again all who have contributed to this hack.

:)

why don't you take the time to read the very first post in this thread.... you'd be surprised as to what you'll find...

:)

Hello,
once this hack installed, I think it is better to make a noindex,nofollow tag on regular non archive vb forums pages, since the content will be spidered from the hack.

What do you think ?
Thanks in advance,
Sharg

Not really. If you set properly the robots.txt file, you are ok.

I've installed the archive addon version of this hack for the vbhome (lite) (I'm running VB Home Lite 4.2), I used the archive download from TECKs forums, and I have followed the installation file that was in the zip file to the letter...

I've also done the install 3 times, yet I'm constantly having the same problem. I have not edited any of the templates because I've read here that you dont need to, and if you do it will mess up the whole thing.

But I'm having problems.

Here is the URL to the archive:

http://theborg.cjb.net/archive/

My site runs from the root, with the forums in /forum etc

but the archive background is white when it should be the same colours as the rest of the site, it has a gross white 'bar' along the top right hand side of the screen, and its missing the navigational buttons, of and the links to the archived forums say this when clicked on:
'No forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster'

Does anyone have any ideas?

I've attached a small screenshot section of the page so you can look at that, if you dont want to click on the link above.

Thanks

Andy

You should ask this question on the support forums, for vbHome (lite).

Hmm... 120,000 pages on Google, indexed...

Inktomy is now crawling my archive, but why the hash is still present ? I've installed the hack for no_hash and it's working

Inktomy is now crawling: http://www.softnews.ro/forum/archive/72?

Please.. It seems that Inktomy has problems

See this screenshot

And we are number 6 on that list. ;)

(with 16,000 pages listed)

What spider is this ?
Is crawling my forum for a week

Ip: 65.69.3.127 and 192.233.23.5

If you already have an .htaccess file can you just add the code to it?
<files archive>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files forumdisplay>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

<files showthread>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</files>

RedirectMatch 301 /archive$ http://www.yoursite.com/forum/archive/

Where would it go? At the top or the bottom? Does it matter?

doesn't matter

Would someone mind clarifying this installation step for me?

In my functions.php file, I have two instances of the"?>" code.
Do I copy the contents of add_to_functions.php file above both places where ?> appear?

Go to the very end of the functions.php file. Add the code just above the ?> .

Thanks courage and evil.

Actually you are no. 4 now. ;)
143,000 pages indexed... not bad...

Thats is what i get on my portal after i modded the functions.php like said in the readme file. Seems to work fine but that error message.

Portal Can Be Found Here

Archive's Can Be FOund Here

You are using vbHome (lite). Get the vbHome archive add-on instead, it will work perfectly after (plus is better then this hack ;)).
Make sure you undo all changes you performed onto your files, related to the archive hack, before you install the add-on.

Im Using mYvBindex v3.1. Does that cause any problems? If so i can always uninstall it and install vb home lite. Seeing that was the first portal system i was using. Which ever works

If you do not use vbHome, then you should not get the error you mentioned before.
Check the code in functions.php file.

Okay i'll do that now :)

This isn't working for me... The groups show up, but they're not linked. Check it out:
