|

I have a question about the preModed phpBB3.
Since I already have a phpBB3 board, is there a way to insert my database into the SEO Moded version? |

I know that, I installed it as a test. But I need to know how to move my already existing database to the preModed install.
Also, on the test install, I activate the URL rewriting, but it gives me a 404 Error when I go to a forum, category and user profile. Look here: http://wildworldcrossing.com/test_seo
Could I please get help setting up the test board? |

You don't need to move your current database. You can literally merge your (code) customizations into the phpBB SEO premod and upload it overtop your existing installation. However...
A more prudent approach is to copy your database to a new database using phpMyAdmin, install the premod pointing to it (config.php), run the phpBB SEO install script (see the zip instructions for details), and confirm everything works. Then apply your customizations to the premod.
Remember: phpBB uses the config.php file to point to the database. The database uses the config table entries script_path and server_name to determine the active board. You can "flip" between installations by changing these values (e.g., copy your database, change script_path to your test install directory, test away... when you're confident it works, rename the test/live site install directories, update script_path and config.php... done).
As for the "not found" errors, that's invariably the .htaccess file. Did you modify it as described in the instructions? If so, please post it.
PS: Would you turn down your avatar? It hurts my eyes.  |

I removed the avatar.
In the install file, it has
| Code: | >>>> INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION <<<<<
________________________________________
___________
IMPORTANT :
________________________________________
Before you start, read this with caution.
=> For a smooth install :
1) Upload all files and lunch -www.yoursite.com/phpBB/ in your browser;
2) Follow the installation / conversion / upgrade steps;
3) Go to phpBB ACP : It's now time to play with settings described bellow;
4) Generate your personalized .htaccess and upload or move it following the instructions;
5) Test a rewritten URL, such as -www.yoursite.com/phpBB/post1.html, if you end up with a 404 (not a phpBB message), go back to step 5;
6) Activate URL rewriting in phpBB ACP and allow yourself some auto-congratulation :D
7) Activate the Zero duplicate is wise at this point.

What does it mean by "step 5"? |

What could be wrong that it doesn't work?
I also noticed that the forum's name does not show up on the title of the page.
It just has Index page on the index, and the same with other pages. |

Well I'm not sure, it's working here -http://wildworldcrossing.com/test_seo isn't it ?
About the page title, try searching, the "issue" has already been covered several times. |
