I solve it. FINALLY. I cant beleive it. jejejejeje

1) I aplly the 2 replaces you told me previously

2) I replace:
'index' => ''
with
'index' => 'index.html'
at phpbb_seo_class.php file

3) Remove # symbols from .htacces in the 2 comented lines at:
# FORUM INDEX (un-comment if used)
# RewriteRule ^phpbb/index\.html$ /phpbb/index.php [QSA,L]
# FORUM PROTECTION RULE
# RewriteRule ^phpbb/.*/([^/]+\.html)$ /phpbb/index.php [R=301,L]

But check the code my friend. I think that the idea of remoove the index.html at home is good, but is not working.

Now i will test it a lot and proceed to install GYM, and Zerodupe.

I have 1 question: I have to install Cyber aliens mod if i install your zerodupe mod?

Yes you need to install cyber alien guest sessions mod in all cases.

And please, I know the bug you faced is not funny, but do you really think we'd have released anything with such a known issue ?

The method was tested on many different setups, dedicated and shared, php 4.x and php 5.x, so yes, we've missed this one, but this does not mean the mod is not working in most cases, and that we released a mod which is not working.
phpBB does not work under all php 5 setups, it does not mean it does not work.

And yes, we're going to update it to take care about this new issue.

Yes my firend i know. Develop software stable in all platforms can be a living hell. I really admire your dedication in this matter.

Im using:
php 4.4.3
mysql 4.1.21-standard

Thsi is the software installed in the server with the problems.

My current bet on this is here, not really a clue, but hopefully a final fix Wink

Had the same problem yeasterday. After some bug hunting:

In common.php the mod says: insert:
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT BEGIN
include($phpbb_root_path . 'phpbb_seo/phpbb_seo_class.'.$phpEx);
$phpbb_seo = new phpbb_seo();
// www.phpBB-SEO.com SEO TOOLKIT END

In phpbb_seo_class.php there is the line:
$server_name = preg_replace('#^\/?(.*?)\/?$#', '\1', trim($board_config['server_name']));

But $board_config doesn't exist at that moment, it is filled with data _after_ the include of phpbb_seo_class in common.php

So putting the first lines of code (with the include) at the end of common.php , thus after
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) )
{
$board_config[$row['config_name']] = $row['config_value'];
}
instead of the beginning fixed the problem perfect...

And welcome Very Happy

And you're very right.

You've understood it all. And that was why I could not understand it with phpBB installs, because, there is a genuine bug with mxBB, dealing with the PHPBB_URL constant being declared more than once, as mxBB uses it as well, and I could not find out where would it come from with phpBB, because, the install was never meant to place the include where it ended up in the uploaded release. And worst, the mxBB we tested did include the phpbb_seo_class.php where it should in common.php.

That's how it is, the dumbest, the hardest to find ...

Anyway, we'll update to 0.2.2 tomorrow Wink

Yes, i do it and problem solved.

Finally someone could find the bug i think exist in this code. Because i follow install instructions carefully on 2 different boards (2 different server) and get the same error. So i supose there is a little bug somewhere.

thanks for your hard work. I think php-seo is one of the best mods website i can find.

By the way the GYM mod is simply impressive. I have some doubts on one options in the ACP i will use the supoort forum for that plugin.
