.htaccess issues

[scottct1]

I am running vBulletin 4.1 with vbseo 3.5.2.

I purchase VBT today.

Below is my .htaccess file which is working... www dot satelliteguys dot us / htaccess.txt (I can't upload my txt file says there is a permissions error on your server and I can't post urls until I post 15 times.)

I have been unable to get the suggested vbt to work correctly, when I insert it I get an error that says The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. When I try going to my homepage.

Can you please let me know the correct .htaccess so I can get this working? Thanks!

I ordered the installation service last night. I will let the pro figure it out as I am sure its something simple.

[kamilkurczak]

Thats right.
I apologize for our late.

Please send to me by PM your admincp , FTP and vBSEO details.

Now we have a weekend. we'll do it on Monday. Is it right for you? I apologize for the delay.

[scottct1]

PM sent.

Thanks!

[vBET]

This weekend Kamil has free. He will be able to solve it and answer you Monday. Hope this is OK

Because I can't edit your .htaccess file - please replace your .htaccess file with this:

DirectoryIndex    cmps_index.php index.php cmps_index.php index.html index.htm

# 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 /

[kamilkurczak]

Done.
-I edited your vbSEO files (integration with vBET)
-I edited your .htaccess (now you have a good rules)
-I have set the necessary options in admincp-vBET and admincp->general settings
-I tested your site and everything (translation forum and links) works good.

Can you test it?
if something does not agree please write here.
If everything is ok Thanks for your cooperation and good luck

I am having a few issues...

1) If I click on German it translates to German fine. However If I want to go back to English and click the english flag to go back to English and it remains German.

Instead of taking me to satelliteguys.us/en it just takes me back to satelliteguys.us

2) My homepage is cmps_index.php but for some reason it is not loading up like it use to instead index.php is loading. To fix this temporarly I have copies my cmps_index.php to index.php.

3) One of my users reported the following issue... "The first unread post feature seems to be broken. I am going to the first post of threads, instead of new posts."

Please advise.

More issues...

Going into the AdminCP then to VBT Tools then to Opaque Ignored words I get the following error message.

Warning: require_once([path]/admincp/vbenterprisetranslator_ignoredwords.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/misc.php(2067) : eval()'d code on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/usr/home/satellit/public_html/admincp/vbenterprisetranslator_ignoredwords.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/satellit/public_html/admincp/misc.php(2067) : eval()'d code on line 4

And this from the cache cleaner...

1) satelliteguys.us/ is good. why not with "/en"? because english is your main forum language and when you click on english flag you have a url to the orginal forum.
Where you see german? if I click on german I have a german translation. If I click on english - I have an english.

If you want to have a faster forum:
You can disable some translations at the begging - when cache will be filled you can add new ones from time to time. Starting with all 52 translations means 52 times more content for users and roots. Some forums can easily handle this, for some it is better to start with few translations.
To do it: go to admincp->vBET->Flags

2) is it work now?
3)Now I have a free time. I will fix it tomorrow. If it is Ok for you.
