For example I have n old page called
general-questions-f4.html
Now rewriting to
general-questions.html

But all I get is a blank page and http 200 response. I should be redirecting to the new url and sending me a 301 but it’s not. Any page that is misspelt with do the same thin;. no redirect and no 301, just a blank page a 200. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone has this problem before or know how I fix it?

I have the advanced mod and the zero dupe and phpbb3.04.

Thanks.

Dumb check, I assume that the 200 is found on the original url (without change, because if not, the way you check header may just be wrong, only the first one is a 301) but did you activate the zero duplicate in acp ?

Because it should issue à 301 for forum and topics in all case when redirecting.

zero duplicate was on but I had to turn it off, too many blank pages and it wasn't sending out 301's. I'm still getting some blank pages in the admin section even with it turned off. The old version seemed to work better. It's a fresh install of phpbb 3.04 with no mods. Not sure why it won't work or redirect. It's a pain.

Maybe I need custom rewrite rules?

It's not a very good sign if you see blank pages in acp, because the zero duplicate is not active there no matter what.

How do you check headers (please use : http://web-sniffer.net/ in case you do not) ?

Do you accept cookies ?

Yes that's how I checked the headers and the forums take cookies as well. Also, I think there is a another bug becasue the forums are no longer sending notification emails when someone replies to a topic. It only started happend after I upgraded my phpseo and zero dupe.

URL of the site (or PM) ?

You're describing several matter at once here, let's try to get focused and deals with once at a time

Fixed it. The forum cache was not writable so chown -R apache cache and chmod -R 755 cache done the trick. Now it all seems be working and send out the 301 headers and redirecting. Very nice mod. It's amazing what you fine when you turn set php.ini to display all errors.

The only blank page I can find now is when I use the Go To Page link to jump to a page inside a topic. Is that a bug or have I missed something?

Thanks for the help.

The jump to page JS in topic and forum view requires some code change in the jumpto() js function to work, have you modded all your themes files as required ?

I know the js script you are talking about. I probably forgot to edit it. I will check it out. Thanks again.

Do you know of a good gallery mod for phpbb3, like the old smartor mod? I haven't had a gallery for nearly 2 years, since I updated to phpbb3, and my old smartor gallery used to be my busiest page. If the people that made the mods here made a gallery mod of the same quality then that would be the dog’s balls.

Comes with a converter to keep your smartor album as it was, and last but not least, we'll soon release a mod to url rewrite it

Thanks, I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes.
