How to remove vbSEO without control panel access?

[kevinh]

My site was causing browser errors re "too many redirects", and I was unable to access the site or Admincp.

I found this advice on editing the .htaccess file and that partially fixed the problem - the site now comes up, but when I click on a forum link or thread link, it just reloads the homepage.

I can now get into Admincp, but when I click on the vbSEO control panel link it just loads my site home page, so I can't disable vbSEO that way.

In case it makes any difference, my forums are in mydomain/forum/ and I have RewriteBase /forum/ enabled

There is also a .htaccess file in the root public folder or the domain that contains the following rule which just redirects all requests to the /forum/ folder;

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mydomain\.com\.au/forum
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mydomain.com.au/forum/ [L,R=301]
