help fix issues

[dsimms]

ok so I will try to find where this issue can be and try to find a solution for you

just changed servers (not related to vbet)
same - so this is not server related.

This is what I know:

vbet works on the test domain.
vbet does not work on the live forum.
the test forum uses the same themes as the live forum.
So i removed all mods from the live forum-nothing.

its not theme related.
Its not mod related.
its not server related.

Ok, so I restarted the live forum from nothing.

I installed vBet, vbseo, UG theme.

vBet ran good

but I could not keep it like this as all of my content is in backup.

So I restored the db backup in order to restore the forum.

Error starts all over again.

So what does this say?

maybe a glitch in the db.sql? and since
this is related to url tracking, maybe some seo url translation issue.

I did not notice this before:

htaccess

# vbet
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|vbseo_sitemap/|cron)

#vbseo
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)

two identical lines, written just a bit different...

could this be causing the problems?

My host has identified two lines causing an endless loop.

1 line: vbet:
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php [L,QSA]

1 line vbseo:
RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

I have verified this as when these lines are enabled, then I have
a dead page/website in firefox, even though it somewhat works in IE:
when I disable these lines, the forum seems to work again.

my first thought from the beginning that this had something too do
with your htaccess, and you said the htaccess was correct, which it
was not, and I was right. When vbseo gave me their fix,
I also applied the same to vbet rules, everything is working now.
I knew all along it was some seo translation problem. If you guys
would have taken a closer look at the htaccess then you could have
solved this long ago, rather me trying to rip my forum apart trying
to find a glitch/error that only existed in the htaccess file.

here is the correct working vbet line:

RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?)?)$ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php [L,QSA]

You should offer me a 50% discount.

this problem was in plain site all along, and you did not catch it.

I wrote that htaccess was correct because It was a correct (from instructions - you can confirm it because it works on your test forum). Now it is ok?

You do not need to tell me something is correct when I just proved to you that it was incorrect, and as a coder, you should know that all coding
is not equal to all servers. The fact of the matter is that it was the
htaccess, and that is what caused the problem. I replaced a rewrite
command as shown above, and it has been working correctly ever since.
the server was not reading the htaccess format and had problems processing vbet, and vbseo command lines, they were corrected so that the server could understand them, and process them correctly.

Free version has stopped working...

anything in htaccess change?

It looks like an htaccess issue as I reported before.

I have heard that google is closing its API.

So what is vBet to do? vBet closing down too?

I guess they found out you are making money off of them

I have changed urls:

http://www.buyadtraffic.com/forum/

[kamilkurczak]

please put here you previous link to your site.
If you added the /forum path - you need to change it in admincp->vBET->main in path to your forum.

and of course in htaccess file in vBET rules

Thanks Kam,

that was it...

admincp was the first place I looked but since I saw blank
fields, then I did not pay much attention about the sub-domain.

ok, since google API is shutting down..

now what?

Is vBet still replying on google API to translate?

[kamilkurczak]

please paste here your htaccess and url to your forum, i will check it
