    Hi, I am hosting a vb forum on main domain and using vbseo for it, whose .htaccess file is located in root folder.... now whenever I install anything- say wordpress on my addon domain I get 500 Internat Server error... now if I delete my .htaccess file having rewrite rules from vbseo I dont get such error....but when I upload the vbseo's .htaccess file.. again the 500 Internal server error.

    Is there any solution for this?

    Is there any chance we get to see the .htaccess file?

    here's my htaccess file for vb forum --

    # 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)
    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]
    
    Code (markup):

    Could you check your server log and post what is in it?

    But I don't see anything here, you could also try to create your subdomain with mod rewrite

    The htaccess for the forum needs to be in the forums root, are you trying to install wordpress and vbulletin in the same folder? Altho it can be done, it's tricky and adding vbseo on top of that will be a PIA
    Your best bet is asking at the vbseo support forums, they are good with htaccess questions
