    We are moving a recently purchased forum, Religious Education Forum - Discuss, Compare and Debate Religions in Our Online Community to our server. You can see the url structure there.

    The following is what is listed here but does not work for threads (just individual forums)

    Nginx and vBulletin vBSEO

    Our setup using the above:

    Code:
     location /forum/ {
rewrite ^/forum/((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forum/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 last;

try_files $uri $uri/ /forum/vbseo.php?$args;

}
    Thread urls 404 using the above. Example of a thread url: What would you do if your browser is crashed? - Religious Education Forum

    This works: CONTESTS - Religious Education Forum

    What am I missing to get this working?

    yup if you use .html extensions need that workaround in staticfiles.conf :)

    both those urls render and load avatar images for me fine and load properly in threads too i.e. Salutations! - Religious Education Forum

    I haven't moved the test server live yet. What you see is the live apache server not the nginx one.

    that doesn't help then.. what avatar url is being served for the broken images ? (where is nginx looking for avatars ?) is it's just giving 404 not found ?

    if you comment out staticfiles.conf include in nginx vhost do the avatars work ? could be related to staticfiles.conf entry for static images if you are rewriting their images via vbseo. You're live forums don't have avatars with rewritten urls, so if the test one has vbseo set to enable avatar url rewriting, might want to disable that.

    None at all. Working with vB 3 again is a nightmare now after being spoiled by XenForo.

    oh... also vBSEO 3.5.2 is severely out of date.. should look at DBTech's DBSeo to migrate vBSEO rewrite settings to DBSeo
