 Posted: Tue Mar 06, 2007 5:14 pm Post subject: Questions about installing mixed-mod rewrite |
|
|
After reading all related posts, I decided to go for the mixed mod rewrite.
I have a few questions before installing:
1- What do this mean?
| Quote: | According to the specific hoster you are using, you might have to get rid of the "/" at the beginning
of the right part of each rewriterules eg : RewriteRule ^.+-c([0-9]+)\.html$ index.php?c=$1 [QSA,L] |
2-
Doesn't this come by default? I haven't installed anything yet whatsoever. Does this mean I should upload the xs_mixed_mod_rewrite.cfg?
3-
| Quote: | | copy phpbb_seo/*.* to phpbb_seo/*.* |
Does this go in the root or the forum folder?
Sorry for asking too many questions  |

hey no problem 
So 1) means that you'll may have to get rid of the slash ("/") at the beginning
of the right part of each rewriterules in case is does not work directly.
2) XS mod is a useful mod to speed up page loading, it's caching the templates. It's very easy to install, just file upload, no editing, and offer a version update checking tool, so we though it could be handy to add version update checks for the phpBB SEO mods using the XS standard, as the mod is again really useful and widely used.
If you do not use it, you do not need to add the .cfg file in the admin folder.
3) phpBB's root

1- ok I will test it once installed
2- Sounds complicated from what I see in the link, but I will try it at a later stage
3- That means NOT the forum folder, but the site root, right? |

Thanks dcz 
When I try to upload the .htaccess to the root, I get this message:
"server error: '.htaccess' does not refer to a page or folder in this web. It may be a page or folder in a subweb, or it could be a badly formed url" 
Am I doing something wrong? |

If so, we'll have to adapt the .htaccess a bit for IIS and isapi_rewrite if available.

Sorry for the delay in replying. I was discussing the issue with my host.
No, it's Linux, however they will upload it for me for now until I finish learning a few things |

What do you mean? 
I asked them to upload it in the root just like required. I changed phpBB into the folder name of my forum. |

My question 1a:
So does that mean I only have to get rid of the slash "/" at the beginning of the right of each rewriterules if something does not work after installing your "mixed_mod_rewriteV0-2-4" because the instructions in the Mod text file "phpBB-SEO-mixed-mod-Rewrite_V_0.2.4.txt" says "might have to get rid of the "/" at the beginning" and it does not say have to? I am still unclear about your response above.
My question 1b:
Is that slash the one I colored blue and is located right before "phpbb" (without the quotation marks) or is it another slash? If it's another slash, please color it in your reply to help me know the exact slash.
Please see the slash in blue below and you will understand what I was referring to above.

The reason I think that is the slash the Mod instructions refersto is because there is a space before /phpbb so it looks like "the beginning of the right part of each rewriterules." I find the instructions about the slash unclear and hope that you can help clarify it.

My question 2a:
I am currently not using the XS mod you mentioned but if I install it after installing "mixed_mod_rewriteV0-2-4" would that cause troubles or would things still work out fine?
My question 2b:
If I installed the XS mod after installing "mixed_mod_rewriteV0-2-4," I need to "add the .cfg file in the admin folder," correct? Would things still work out fine if the order of mod installation is like this?
Please reply all parts of my questions 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b as clearly as possible because I am new to this. I've read all of the documents related to mixed_mod_rewriteV0-2-4 very closely.
Thank you. |

I've got 2a and 2b  You should be fine! it shouldn't matter what order you install the xs MOD. yes, the .cfg file goes into your admin folder. xs MOD lets you know, in your admin control panel, when your mixed mod rewrite has been updated. Amoung other misc. updating.
:edit:
Your first question: The ones colored in blue, yes, if you run into problems, try taking out those slashes. also don't forget to replace phpbb with your actual forum directory name. |
