Good day i have two questions,

One is previously i used the built-in vbulletin Mod Rewrite Friendly URLs , i would like ot know how can i redirect all those links to the new updated links that are generated by this mod.\

Two is that i'm currently getting a white screen anytime i save on the seo mod page.
Thanks you again.
 
Try these rules (above the DBSEO rules):
Code:
RewriteRule ^threads/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) showthread.php?t=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^members/([0-9]+) member.php?u=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^forums/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) forumdisplay.php?f=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^blogs/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) blog.php?u=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^entries/([0-9]+)(?:/?$|(?:-[^/]+))(?:/?$|(?:/page([0-9]+)?)) entry.php?b=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^list/([^/]*/)([0-9]+) list.php?r=$1$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^content/(.*) content.php?r=$1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^widget/config/([0-9]+) widget.php?r=config/$1&%{QUERY_STRING}

Bear in mind you must manually ensure none of your rewrite rules begin with members, forums, blogs, entries, list, content or widget after doing this.
 
Thank you for this but it does not work. Here i what i currently have on my hsaccess file.

And this is the settings in my seo control panel

Its not working i'm getting a
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 
OK the 500 error was because of the space in one of the words, the 500 error is fixed.
But it still is not working.
Please help.
 
Could you please create and PM me with a temporary FTP and AdminCP account?

For security reasons, we recommend you create a new FTP account only for DBTech support, then disable or delete it after we have both confirmed the issue has been solved and there are no further issues.

The same applies to AdminCP accounts; they should ideally be temporary accounts created for us only. If we have created an account on your site already, you can optionally boost that account to Administrator and then de-admin this account once the issue has been solved.

If you use a .htaccess password protection for your AdminCP directory, it is recommended that you create a new authorised user for DBTech and remove this user once the issue has been solved.

Please test any temporary accounts you create to ensure that the FTP account has access to the forum files, and that the AdminCP account can access the administrative controls for the product we are assisting you with.

Ensuring this is all in order before submitting the information will significantly speed up the process of assisting you. We will alert you via PM if there's any issues with the login information you have provided.

When sending the PM, for your security you should also un-tick the "Save a copy in my Sent Items folder" checkbox. When the access details have been received, we will delete the PM from our inbox. Ensuring you have not kept a copy of the PM reduces the risk of security breaches.

Thank you for helping us debug our products and allowing us to assist you, we appreciate it :D
 
Can you please just respond to me, if this is the support i'm currently getting i could imagine when i purchase the pro version.
 
Sorry, I've been very busy over the past couple of days. I will get to your query tonight :)
 
Update: I asked for FTP & AdminCP access in my previous post, and I have not received AdminCP information. Could you please provide me with the requested access so that I can look into this?
 
The PM I received contains only FTP information, which unfortunately isn't enough to properly debug this issue. I need to try out combinations of settings to see if I can find a way to resolve this problem, and this isn't possible with only FTP information.

I would like to assist you but I will need access to the DBSEO CP in order to do so, sorry :(
 
Your previous reply was at 01:33 AM, and your followup was posted at 11:15 AM. Please bear in mind other time zones when requesting support. Thank you :)


The first issue I'm detecting is that your XCache installation is not working.
Fatal error: xcache_count(): xcache.admin.user and/or xcache.admin.pass settings is not configured. Make sure you've modified the correct php ini file for your php used in webserver.

You need to edit php.ini and set the following options, then restart Apache. Please let me know when this is done and I will re-enable XCache on your site.
Code:
xcache.count = 8
xcache.var_count = 8
xcache.var_slots = 128K
xcache.var_size = 512M
xcache.var_ttl = 7200
xcache.var_maxttl = 14400
xcache.admin.enable_auth = "off"

I've applied working .htaccess edits that will correctly display the threads when visiting old thread URLs.
