mod rewrite question

[tagman]

Doesn't seem to have helped.

So here is my .htaccess file now after generating and making the changes...

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On

# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums/)
#RewriteBase /

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !showwiki_proxy.php
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !/(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^showwiki.php?title=(.*)$ showwiki/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^showwiki/DC_Wiki:(.*)$ showwiki/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule ^showwiki$ showwiki/ [L,QSA,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^showwiki/(.*)?$ showwiki_proxy.php [L,QSA]

I am still getting invalid forum pages when going into the wiki though...

@tagman, in this case the problem is occurring after .htaccess or vBSEO. Your site seems to be having trouble fetching the contents of an article from the URL. If you PM me, I can debug the /vault files and get this working for you.

@ashley76, when editing .htaccess, make sure you place the generated rules above any rules for vBSEO.

[ashley76]

ah... let me give that a shot first!

That did it pegasus! Thanks a ton!

@tagman, after thorough investigation, the issue you are facing is a bug in vBSEO (which I have gone ahead and fixed on your site). Please report the following to them.

In vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_hook.php, find:

if(!strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['VBSEO_URI']) AND !vbseo_is_threadedmode())

Not sure why, but this throws a 500 server error on your server when: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is empty, and this is common IIRC.

To account for this possibility, the line should instead be:

if((!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] OR !strstr($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],$_SERVER['VBSEO_URI'])) AND !vbseo_is_threadedmode())

Thanks again Pegasus.

Here is the bug report I submitted to vbseo.
