Right so this guy is getting bad scores and the advice I give him he says results in a 500 error.

You may contact him directly in the thread I’m talking to him in here.
http://www.video-game-chat.com/forum/site-optimization/195673-vb3-vb4-optimizing-vbulletin-with-a-dbseo-installation.html#post218116

This is what he says his current working .htaccess contains.

[code]
RewriteEngine on

Set to vbulletin directory

RewriteBase /

Retrieve gamedata requests and send to new dbtech locations

RewriteRule ^arcade/gamedata/(.*) dbtech/vbarcade/media/$1 [L]

Retrieve crossdomain requests and send to new dbtech location

RewriteRule ^crossdomain.xml dbtech/vbarcade/crossdomain.xml [L]

Send hardcoded legacy scores to arcade instead

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} newscore.php [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} viewgame.php
RewriteRule .* arcade.php?sendscore=legacy [L,QSA]

Send hardcoded legacy scores to arcade instead

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} func=storeScore [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} autocom=arcade [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=arcadelib [OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} act=Arcade
RewriteRule .* arcade.php [L,QSA]

Reroute v3arcade liveinstaller

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} do=liveinstall
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} v3arcade_admin.php

If you renamed your admincp directory, change it here

RewriteRule .* %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/admincpforum/arcade_admin.php?%{QUERY_STRING}&do=review&import=browse&system=v3a [L,R=301]

[/code]

I ask him to add this to the bottom and he says when he does, he gets this:

[quote]Internal Server Error
