Anyone know where I can find some good step by step instructions on how to install VBSEO?

Thanks!

upload the test.php file to see if your using Zend or Ioncube
Upload the vbseo files in BINARY mode
import the product
go to yoursite.com/vbseocp.php and enter your password that you want to use to protect this area.

Go to the preset options.. Pick option #6 vBulletSetup.com URL structure

click save

Upload files from vbseo in BINARY mode.
Import the product VIA Product Manager in the AdminCP

Then go to www.yoursite.com/vbseocp.php and configure to your likings.

Err...umm... what BINARY mode? LOL :ahand_sos:

I know what you're thinking... "What is she doing running a forum!?"

LOL

Lyte

And also...

I have Drupal on the home page so when I go to upload stuff, am I right in thinking i need to put it in this folder --> pc101.com/forum

Thanks!

Well, what ftp client do you use? check for something that asks upload method

**PC101** · 09-15-2007, 03:41 PM

Y'all don't know what's meant by step-by-step. LOL

I'll have to write something up when this is all done and over with!

I found the file I need to upload on VBSEO site but ... upload it to where? Sheesh, even VBSEO doesn't say. All it says is...

Encoder Compatibility Test Script
Install this test script on your server prior to uploading either the Zend or ionCube version of vBSEO to test for Compatibility.

So... umm... where on my server? Anywhere?? I use SmartFTP (free) software to upload stuff. Otherwise, I just go into the Cpanel.

**Brandon Sheley** · 09-15-2007, 05:52 PM

and vbseo Does have a read me in their zip

**PC101** · 09-15-2007, 06:03 PM

Bah! lol

I've seen their directions!

I've not had a chance to peep them. My IE was giving me issues. Ugh! I think it's FoxFire time! lol

Lyte

well, to me their directions are pretty clear cut, but if you would like me to just setup your vbseo, I can do that at no charge

You're a sweetheart! :angel4:

BUT, I gotta learn! Lemme see if I can figure it out. I'll just be sure to take a couple back ups... just in case! Hopefully, y'all won't mind the dozen or so questions that will follow! LOL

Thanks!

It means that vbseo offers a few url structures to choose from, or you can do your own custom one.. vBSetup has it's own structure in the vbseocp panel

Is there value in that? What does it do or is just to look pretty.

Lyte

**Brandon Sheley** · 09-18-2007, 04:34 AM

well I think the vbsetup setup is the best one

**Michael Biddle** · 09-18-2007, 06:53 AM

I think your wrong.

**Brandon Sheley** · 09-19-2007, 12:06 PM

for coding, yes

and strongly appreciate it

Lets get back on topic, did Lyte ever get vbseo installed ?

Nope, not yet! Still working on it! I'm still reading the instructions. I DL'ed the IonCube one...

Test File

but I've not progressed beyond the DL and reading the instructions. I'll be playing with it tonight so stay tuned!

**Brandon Sheley** · 09-19-2007, 07:13 PM

You're up now

hmm.. somethings fishy

You better submit a support ticket to vbseo with the same info you sent me.
tell them ioncube is installed, just disabled

that the url's don't match up when it's enabled.

might check the .htaccess file.

Umm...yeah... something sure is fishy on PC101! lol :waiting2:

I did open a thread asking for help. Is that what you meant by ticket? Click the link Keith thinks we forgot to install the vBSEO XML Product.

Lyte

EDIT: I ran through this process...

D. Go to your ADMIN CP > 'Plugin System' > 'Manage Products' > Click on [Add/Import Product]

1. Browse to the 'docs' folder of the installation package and open 'crawlability_vbseo.xml', Click 'Import'.

And it's still jacked up. Hopefully Keith has another idea.
