Question Turning on DBSEO and Site stops working

[seaweed]

Not sure where to start,
It seems like every time I enable dbseo from cp my site crashes, pages cant be found- pretty much just falls apart
Most recently I have disabled all of my plugins
uninstalled and reinstalled DBseo
Edited and reedited .htaccess file

So here is what I have currently
DBSEO plugin disabled in plugins and turned off /dbseocp/

Admincp--> options-->Site Name / URL / Contact Details -->
URL of your forum. = https://domain.com
URL of your home page. = https://www.domain.com



This is my current working .htaccess File

RewriteEngine on

# If you are having problems or are using VirtualDocumentRoot, uncomment this line and set it to your vBulletin directory.
# RewriteBase /forum/

# If you are having problems with the rewrite from content/ to content.php, uncomment this line to turn MultiViews off.
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# Forum
RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^forums/.* forumdisplay.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^members/.* member.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^blogs/.* blog.php [QSA]
RewriteRule ^entries/.* entry.php [QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]

# MVC
RewriteRule ^(?.*?)(?:/|$))(.*|$)$ $1.php?r=$2 [QSA]

# Check MVC result
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [R=404,L]

I have tried adding the below code to above and separately I have added the below to the .htaccess I had from VBseo

RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problem with "None Could Be Negotiated" errors in Apache, uncomment this to turn off MultiViews
# Options -MultiViews

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|dbseocp/|modcp/|cron|mobiquo|forumrunner|api\.php)
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ dbseo.php [L,QSA]

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

Friendly URLs are set to standard

gave up on global https://
seems like there no real good way run mixed content on vb without the browser blocking or throwing warnings for user embedded content.
I guess ill try the configurations again tomorrow w/o https

Tired and should give up but i'm stubborn
First attempt
resulted in 404
Not Found

The requested URL /announcements/30860-sfp-site-upgrade-need-your-help-post247164.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at domain Port 80

my traffic is dropping quickly in the past week since upgrading and trying to swap out vbseo for dbseo
please help me

Please try running only the .htaccess directives found in the readme.txt file.

Back up your existing file and replace the entire contents with the .htaccess directives from that file.

Thanks Balazor, but I just ordered install service.
I'm spending to much time playing around without success.
if its that simple of a solution, hopefull you will have it up and running asap

The password you provided for the FTP is incorrect. Please PM me with the correct password ASAP so that Pro Install can continue.

Update: I've re-uploaded the files, re-imported the XML (to correct the version number issues from the initial release) and modified the .htaccess file, and the mod appears to work correctly now
