Bug URL rewriting doesn't work help for config or fix possible bug

[rogerplanchon]

Hello,

Just go through install process:
- files upload
- import xml
- update htaccess
- import vbseo setting

Everything goes smoothly. No error messages.

Try to access several pages but none of them are working anymore.
Looks like URL rewriting is working in adress bar and respect the imported settings but I get diffent kind of errors.

My website is build as follow:
- "root" index.php is from vbadvanced CMPS 3.0.2 with relative path /home/limpers/www
- "root" forum.php is a renamed file of the index.php of vbulletin and is set accordingly in vbulletin admincp preferences
- "root" blog.php
- Force Forum Directory Index option is set to: No

Here are the different kinds of errors I get :

* Acces forums index

Warning: require(/home/limpers/www/index.phpforum.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/limpers/www/dbseo.php on line 435

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/limpers/www/index.phpforum.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php5') in /home/limpers/www/dbseo.php on line 435

* Acces a blog entry

* Access to a custom vbadvanced page

Page not found

... etc etc

Any fix or any config missed ?

Seems that support team is not available this begining of week.
Just let you know that I will not follow closely this thread over the next 3-4 days (travel).
Uninstall the product for the moment.

vBAdvanced is notorious for creating conflicts due to its non-standard initialisation of vBulletin. That being said, none of the issues you report have been found in servers that have working .htaccess rewrite rules.

I will need FTP and an AdminCP account in order to look into this further.

As you say vBAdvanced is notorious for its non-standard initialisation of vBulletin, but in the same time vBAdvanced is/was handled perfectly by vbseo and maybe more important vbadvanced is notorious as well to be one of the most (if not the most) used CMS by vb3.8 owners

note: Have flight in 2.5 hours

I have commented out the offending Custom Rewrite Rule and your forum is now working as intended

For the record, the rule was this:

'^index\.php$' => '/'
