Issue after 4.2.2 upgrade

[pityocamptes]

Not sure what is going on. Recently upgraded, and in addition upgraded my template to the avenger blue by superman (on this site). I am also running dbseo.

I have always, changed by admincp and modcp folders to different names. After I got hacked I changed the folder names again, after cleaning everything up. I made sure I changed it in the config file, etc.

Here is the issue. On these two lines:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(XXXXXXXX/|dbseocp/|XXXXXXXXX/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php|reviewpost/|classifieds/|photopost/)

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(XXXXXXXXX|dbseocp|XXXXXXXXXXXX|clientscript|cpsty les|images|reviewpost|classifi eds|photopost)/

If I change the XXXX to the new folder names all my forums get 404 errors. If I change them back to "admincp" and "modcp", even though the folders are not named this, it works and I have no issues, or 404 errors. Anyone know what might be going on? I contacted DBSEO people and they are saying it is not an issue with them and to contact the vbulletin guru's... thanks.

Those lines look fine, but the lines surrounding them could have issues. You should probably post the full file.

Did you rename either directory to something that is part of the name of your forum directory, or something like that?

[pityocamptes]

You know, I believe that one of the names is the root directory name. Would that have made an issue?

[kh99]

I'm not a mod_rewrite expert (I'm barely a beginner), but I think if you had the root directory name as one of the options (the list of things separated by vertical bars), that would match any forum URI.

Edit: if you wanted to leave the directory named that (although I guess now anyone reading this knows what it is), then you could probably use XXXXXX/XXXXXX as the thing you put in the list.

Yep, that was the issue!!! Been banging my head against the wall for weeks on this... thanks again!!!!!

Just a side note ...I personally gained about 5% better pageload performance by not using .htaccess and placing the rules directly in post virtualhost include.

Can you post the full htaccess file might be a small error somewhere in it or upload the file xxx out the new names of your admincp and modcp if you wish. Also, what program are you using to edit the file

Thanks. Issue was that I named the admincp folder the same name as the root directory. All better now. Thanks.

Glad you fixed the problem
