vBSEO and vbadvanced issues..

[vortech1]

Ok my forum is setup like this and I hope someone here can follow this as vBSEO support is useless.

stuntusa.com/index.php is vbadvanced and should look like VBA but it does not it looks like the forum.

stuntusa.com/cmps_index.php does look right.

My forum is at stuntusa.com/forums/ everything looks right.

So I put this in my DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php and it solved the issue kind of but now when you are in my forums and you click home it takes you to stuntusa.com/index.php the none working page.

I simple want to use index.php as VBA and forums/index.php as my forum. This seems simple and has worked for years until I installed vBSEO.

This is the htaccess I have installed right NOW that allows VBA to at least show using DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php rather then the messed up index.php that is just a copy of cmps_index.php.. I got everything else in the htaccess from vBSEO I did not have an htaccess file before installing this.

DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.stuntusa\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.stuntusa.com/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ forums/vbseo.php [L,QSA]


RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

Can any one tell me what the issue is that has used VBA and vBSEO together with your forums in a sub folder. I just can't seem to get it to work and there support is not offering any solutions that work. lol So I thought I would try here..

You should ask this at either the vBSEO or the vBAdvanced forums. We can not provide for support on modifications that are released elsewhere.

DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php

your directory index should look like this DirectoryIndex /forums/

that did not work either.

At the top of my forums I have home page it links to stuntusa.com/index.php hot can i change it to link to stuntusa.com/cmps_index.php

Because with DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php everything looks to work besides the home page button now..

I have tried vBSEO support but they are zero help and take for every to answer so I thought I would ask here to see if any one has an idea.

As your on a crap-panel server, you should place the files as such.

public_html or the symlinked www dir, rename cmps_index.php to index.php and upload it via ftp to public_html/www dir

Remove DirectoryIndex cmps_index.php from the .htaccess file

Remove any index.htm or .html file from public_html dir, crap-panel lists .html files to load first before a .php file in httpd.conf
