Ohk. I thought you will give me some tips

Anyways, thanks a lot for helping me in installed all your MODs. Your help was really supportive and effective.

Well, I'm not saying I won't, I'm just saying that we have msn and yahoo forums too, as well as a more general SEO forum to talk about such matters.

Staying focused is really important SEO wise, this is advise one

Thanks dcz. I got your point

By the way, there is 1 small problem left I think so. When i type http://funwadi.com/forum it opens the same whereas it should change to http://www.funwadi.com/forum right? How can i change it? Should it change or not? I have no idea. Needs your suggestion. If yes, than let me know how to change it please.

Thank You,
AB

This is about the www prefix in url it seems

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

any1 can help why still this error? my forum is down

First, you should make sure mod_rewrite is available. Then, if it's the case, it will work, it's possible that you will need to add the slash, as told in install, in the rewriterules, like this :

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^forum/post([0-9]+)\.html$ /forum/viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

vs :

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^forum/post([0-9]+)\.html$ forum/viewtopic.php?p=$1 [QSA,L,NC]

As well, and again, as long as mod_rewrite is available, it's possible that you'll need to replace :

Code: Select all

# Options +FollowSymlinks

with :

Code: Select all

Options +FollowSymlinks

And, make sure you upload your .htaccess at the domain's root level, eg one level above the forum/ folder, and that there is no .htaccess in the forum/ folder.

hey since the time i installed this mod on my forum www.ibsrocks.com , my lastest topics at bottom links show 404 error while rest forum works fine....this is whn user is sufing as a guest

bt whn user is logged on - the latest topics link work fine

wht can be the issue? should i delete seo mod

I guess you'll be interested into reading this post about how to migrate from the able2know mod rewrite

Looks like you still need to take care about SIDs.

About your mod showing the latest topic links, it just looks like you modded it to comply with the previous able2know rewriting. You'll just need to patch it for the phpBB SEO ones. Try a quick search, we already provided solution for some of the mods outputting such topic listing. Start a new topic with a link to the mod's release if you need, we'll patch it

hi i was able to install this mod. but whn i shifted my forum from root folder to /forum, this mod somehow shoes an error after being installed. i tried evrything the instructions said (different steps for not being in root folder etc.

i think i need som1 who knows the stuff to do it , as my forum has a bunch of mods so i dont wanna messup anyhting

plz pm me ur offer.

my forum - www.ibsrocks.com

It should only be a matter of updating the rewriterules to include the forum path (forum/ in your case) in the rewriterules.

As well, you should do something to properly handle the old url redirection, and do not forget to update phpBB config as well, you need to add 'forum/' as script path in acp now.

Yoru root .htaccess should include :

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

The second part only being here to allow the zero duplicate to http 301 redirect the old forum urls to the new ones.

im afraid i cant do this....i messup the entire forum u know....canu refer me som1 who can do this for me on freelance basis

plz refer to me by PM urgently !

Have you tried the .htaccess I suggested ?

You do not risk anything if you keep backups of the .htaccess you are using, you'll be able to tell if it work in no time and go back to the previous in case you do not make it.

Maybe you did find a solution ?
