Please help me friends, I have no idea

My phpBB is installed in /forum/ folder, when the site map is generated from /forum/ url.

That's a robots.txt for different software. Do not use it for phpBB.

Also, do not use the robots.txt you'll find in various places throughout this forum unless you have phpBB SEO installed.

Wht should i do now? what i need to wright in robots.txt now?

Do you have phpBB SEO installed? The question is very important.

Look in the contrib folder that came inside the .zip archive. There is one included in there that is appropriate for almost all installations.

It appears that phpBB SEO is not installed on your forum, or not installed correctly.

Do not use a robots.txt file until you get phpBB SEO installed.

No, I want to install SEO, where is the download link? Im searcing around this forum and getting more than one MOD

I have very little idea abot SEO, so what I need to install 1st? please help

Well, you only have 21 posts and 12 members. I suggest installing the phpBB SEO Premod and then do the file edits for the Arty style that you will find in the contrib folder of the .zip archive.

I have to warn you though, if you've never done file edits you're going to be confused about editing that Arty style. You'll want to use the prosilver code changes, but not everything is going to match up 100%.

Thanks for your help friend I will change style if i needed. But 1st of all I must learn somting about phpBB-SEO.

Im doing it right now, Will take supports from you people after having some knowledge. Its tough to get support as a noob. Thanks you

You're very welcome!
