vb.org Archive - Customized htaccess for DBSeo with VB4

Instead of adding another htaccess to my step by step guide. Here is the customized htaccess to use with dbseo while using VB4. This htaccess assumes that your forum is in a subfolder named forum. If that's not the case then you will have to edit this line to match your installation.
RewriteBase /forum/

Code:

# Author: Final Kaoss (aka: Extreme-Gaming)

# Version 3.2

# Special Thanks Goes to W3Total Cache for much of the htaccess rules

RewriteEngine on

Options -MultiViews

# This file is only needed if you have set the Forum Component URL in your admincp and you are

# using the mod_rewrite option for friendly urls.  If this is the case, copy this file

# to your forum component stub directory.



# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your forum component directory.

 RewriteBase /forum/



# If you are having problems with the rewrite from content/ to content.php, uncomment this line to turn MultiViews off.

# Options -MultiViews



#DBSEO



RewriteEngine On



# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews

# Options -MultiViews



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

RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]



RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

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

RewriteRule ^(.+)$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]
