Hello.
First of all, I'm from Germany, so sorry for my bad english, but i hope you will understand me

Well, today i downloaded the phpbb seo premod 3.0.11 (-> http://downloads.phpbb-seo.com/seo-url- ... od-48.html).
I installed it successfully, and everything is working fine, but i got one problem.
The URL rewriting is not working.

URL :
*********/forum/dein-erstes-forum-f2.html


but there is a 404 Error :

( I censored my page-name with ***** )
The .htaccess file is in the /forum/ file.

My Domain and cookie settings are fine, everything is alright.
I cleared my cache as well, but its not working.

So where is the bug? Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot!!

What is the abolute system path to the phpbb scripts and DocumentRoot directory of your domain you use to access phpbb?
Suppose you have issues with "RewriteBase" directive. In case your phpbb installation is located in subdirectory of DocumentRoot directory (for example, DocumentRoot is /home/account/public_html and phpbb scripts located in /home/account/public_html/forum) you will need to adjust PHPBB SEO settings accordingly and use "RewriteBase /forum/". Do not forget to flush cache, it also may lead to described issue.

If you want the .htaccess file in your phpBB folder you have to do the following:

Administration Control Panel -> phpBB SEO -> .htaccess -> Scroll down -> More Options: Yes -> Submit -> Scroll down again -> .htaccess location:
Put the .htaccess in the phpBB folder ? -> Yes -> Submit. Now copy and paste the generated code in the .htaccess file in your phpBB folder and clear the board cache again.

This will also change RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /forum/

Hello I have installed Seo mod in my website but after installation I get this error .

Here is the URL: http://backup.seochatforum.com/phpbb_se ... nstall.php
Please kindly help me.

My answer is really late as I was away for quite some time. However, when I open the link to your forum I still receive the error message.

Language file ./../language/en/mods/acp_phpbb_seo.php couldn't be opened.

The file simply doesn't exist on your server -> http://backup.seochatforum.com/language ... bb_seo.php - error 404

Please copy the file and the other necessary ones in the /language/en/mods/ directory.

but there is a 404 Error :
Not Found
The requested URL /forum/dein-erstes-forum-f2.html was not found on this server.

I think, this is regular error.

1. check working of mod_Rewrite work. In my practice this happens.
2. After configuration of seo mod you should resynchronize urls.
3. copy htaccess from acp to htaccess in board main .hraccess.
