Please help! I used this and now my forum has no index file!!!!

Erm how could it have no index file? You had to of deleted it or something.

Here's the issue, there is an index file in the upload folder they tell you to upload into your root. The over-rode my index file. So I had to re-upload. Now I'm worried about trying to use this SEO product again. I'll use an FTP this time but I'm still worried it will replace my index file with the one in the upload folder.

No one else had this problem? Both files have the same name.

Sorry but I looked at the download and there is no file named index.php in the zip file so it is impossible that you over wrote your index file with a new index file from that particular hack. However I think, I know what happened. You probably over wrote the .htaccess file with the vBSEO .htaccess file, this is the common problem that happens to some. Did you back up the .htaccess file before you over wrote it? If not then you will need to delete the .htaccess file, contact your host and see if they can put the original back into place and then post in the thread that deals with the vbseo sitemap hack and post the contents of your standard .htaccess file and the guy that developed that hack will most likely be able to help you correct the problem.

I'm sure I did this as well. But yes, there is also an index file in there. It's in the uploads folder then open the vbseo_sitemap folder and in there is an index.php file.

Ah I see what you did you uploaded it wrong. The best way to fix this is to replace your original index file and I would suggest that you hire someone to install the vbseo hack for you. To fix your files just login to your vbulletin members area and download the vb version you are currently using on your site, then take out the index file and upload it to your server. Or if you are unsure about doing that you may want to see if someone can fix it for you.

Yes I already did that so I have the index back. Now I'm working on getting the .htaccess back. Any idea who to hire to do this hack?

Also, can you tell me what is in this .htaccess? I'm not seeing this file in the original vb files I uploaded. Is this file auto generated?

I'm a bit confused about the .htaccess. I went through my archives and there never was one prior to last night when I uploaded it. Should there have been one?

[metalguy639]

No not neccessarily. It depend on if your host put one there if not, then your only problem was uploading into the wrong place. As for who to hire, you can make a post in the Paid Requests area. Be sure to read the stickies in there before you post.
