 Posted: Fri Aug 04, 2006 4:41 am Post subject: migration able2know phpBB SEO mixed mod rewrite |
|
|
Hello
I previously installed the able to know rewrite but something has gone wrong--manybe about the stripping of sids.
my urls for forum posts look something like this
.com/phpBB2/post-14215.html#14215
or this
com/phpBB2/about1558-0-asc-45.html
and sometimes will have a long sid code after the .html
I think I want to redo this whole thing and get it right |

And Welcome 
A link would quite help out here to understand better.
So you previously used the able2know method and changed to on of the phpBB SEO ones ?
Previously your post links looked like this : post-14215.html#14215
and now they look like this : post14215.html#14215 ?
Same for topics the old about1558-0-asc-45.html.
for the post, the robots.txt should disallow both, for the about => topics, if you are using either the simple or the mixed mod rewrite, you can http 301 redirect those, if advanced, you should disallow the old "about" urls in your robots.txt.
When the zero dupe will be out, we won't have these problems any more

No I just applied the able to know mod. But I might have done something wrong
http://www.asia-expatsforum.com
-but some of the phpbb2 updates required changing the sessions.php file and i could not find the code to change. I would like to start out from scratch.
i wonder if i can just overwrite my sessions .php with the new 2.021 version--and then sdo the mixed rewrite mod
seems like my .htaccess file has been compromised-only shows this now
RedirectMatch temp ^/$ http://www.asia-expatsforum.com/phpBB2/portal.php
my robots looks like this
| Code: |
User-agent: *
Disallow: /phpBB2/admin/
Disallow: /phpBB2/images/
Disallow: /phpBB2/includes/
Disallow: /phpBB2/language/

All right so you want to migrate from the able2know mod rewrite to the phpBB SEO mixed one ?
So you'll first need to uninstall the able2know mod and then install the phpBB SEO one.
I recommend you perform local test just to make sure everything will be correctly installed before going online.
Then, this topic is a good thing to read.
Your robots should look like :
| Code: | User-agent: *
Disallow: /phpBB2/viewtopic.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/viewforum.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/index.php?
Disallow: /phpBB2/posting.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/groupcp.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/profile.php
Disallow: /memberlist.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/search.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/login.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/faq.php
Disallow: /phpBB2/about
Disallow: /phpBB2/member
Disallow: /phpBB2/post
Disallow: /phpBB2/mark
Disallow: /phpBB2/updates-topic.html
Disallow: /phpBB2/stop-updates-topic.html
Disallow: /phpBB2/ptopic
Disallow: /phpBB2/ntopic |
Then, these rewriterules will help out a lot
| Code: | RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+)-(.*)-([0-9]+)\.html /topic$1-$3.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)\.html /topic$1-$2.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^about([0-9]+)\.html /topic$1.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^ptopic([0-9]+)\.html /index.php [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^ntopic([0-9]+)\.html /index.php [R=301,L] |
Just put them in your new .htaccess, before the forum rewriterules.
And for your portal.php file.
Add :
| Code: | | DirectoryIndex portal.php index.php index.html index.htm |
before :
It's better than :
| Code: | | RedirectMatch temp ^/$ http://www.asia-expatsforum.com/phpBB2/portal.php |
As well, you'll need to take a look at the www prefix issue

I am not sure to understand here. .htaccess are only used to allow our new URLs to work.
The able2know rewrite mod needs it's .htaccess for it's URLs to work. Same for the phpBB SEO ones.
So what would you put back if you did not install the phpBB SEO mod rewrite ?

So,
All your rewriterules should be located in the same .htacceess in the root folder, eg one folder above phpbb in your case.
You should just make sure the path in it are correct and it will work.
Then, you should not redirect using html.
the directoryindex command should work, put it at the beginning of the root .htaccess files.
Then as you made up your mind for the advanced mod rewrite instead,
you won't need the redirection I proposed.
Just the robots.txt.
Besides it's working nicely
