Google 404 all my URLsPosted: Mon Mar 24, 2008 10:58 pm    Post subject: Google 404 all my URLs

Hi there!

I have a forum with every one of your mods like:
advanced SEO urls
SEO titles
SEO meta
SEO dupe

I have also a big problem. Google really like my pages but when I check the Google Webmaster Tools I see that Google get's 404 error messeage on EVERY topic in my forum. This is very annoying since not even ONE correct url has been indexed because of this huge problem.

I have checked everything (I think) and don't come much longer in this case. What do you think this could be? Why does Google get 404 when everything seems to be just fine?

I should mention that when I don't use the SEO urls Google can index every page e.x. viewtopic?=21 and so on..

Thanks for you help!

Google 404 all my URLsPosted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 12:13 am    Post subject: Re: Google 404 all my URLs

UPDATE 2

Ok, it seems like it must be the SEO URL Rewriting thing that causes the 404 error for google. But I can't come up with what it is. So if you have any suggestions, just tell me Wink

Here's my .htaccess
Code:



    # Lines That should already be in your .htacess
    <Files "config.php">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from All
    </Files>
    <Files "common.php">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from All
    </Files>

    # You may need to un-comment the following line
    # Options +FollowSymlinks
    # REMEBER YOU ONLY NEED TO STARD MOD REWRITE ONCE
    RewriteEngine On
    # REWRITE BASE
    RewriteBase /forum/
    # HERE IS A GOOD PLACE TO ADD THE WWW PREFIXE REDIRECTION

Google 404 all my URLsPosted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 1:01 am    Post subject: Re: Google 404 all my URLs

UPDATE #3

This thing drives me crazy, why should this just happen to me? Very Happy

Well, I have now tried the origianl URLs (viewtopic, viewforum) through HTTP request and they return 200 which means that everything is OK with this URLs. Then I turn on SEO urls again and they unfortunely returns 404 error for Googlebot..

As I said before, any suggestion is worth it's letters in gold.

I have integrated phpBB3 with Wordpress through a bridge. This bridge couldn't handle rewrite URLs but the server gave "normal/real users" the right site though. But Googlebot only did get 404 and all other bots. So, I had almost 5000 threads in GWT for 404.. There was just about 30 urls indexed, and it was viewtopic, viewforum.. Now my whole forum will get index in a couple of days/weeks.

Thanks / Daniel

So this had nothing to do with the ASU.

What I don't get here is how Google could see 404 user do not ?

There is no such filter in the .htaccess. You should see the same thing as Googlebot.
