MyBB Community Forums

Hi guys,

Most of you have installed MyBB forum on IIS Server will not be used Google SEO. But I've found a solution to help you overcome this obstacle.

I using (IIS7 - Windows 7)

Step 1. Install Google SEO .

Step 2: Install URL Rewrite for IIS

Step 3: Convert .htaccess to web.config

We will use Import Rules of URLRewrite

Browser to .htaccess file (provided by G SEO)

Then, click Import --> Successful conversion.

Finally, you click Apply, the system automatically creates files in the installation folder webconfig MyBB

Done .

Can you explain in detail for how to install SEO etc?

How to install the plugin? Read the documentation.

I tried to import .htaccess.txt into IIS 7 and get the following;

<rewrite>
<!--This directive was not converted because it is not supported by IIS: RewriteBase specification..-->
<!--This directive was not converted because it is not supported by IIS: RewriteBase /MyBB/.-->
<rules>

Ok i was able to Import the .htaccess into IIS. Now what? how can i check it is working?

Now continue with the installation of the Google SEO plugin and see if it works.

Have you uploaded the modified ./inc/functions.php file?

Yes i did uploaded the function file

I am also getting the following at plugin...

Put that in your .htaccess file.
