404 error for every forum?

[The3rdNipple]

Well apparently I downloaded vBulletin. I had 3.7.3 all running smoothly, then I decided to upgrade to 3.7.4, before I've even tested 3.7.4 I installed vBSEO, after I installed vBSEO, I've recieved 404 Error pages for every forum I click on. And now my custom avatar is [x]ed out.

Maybe I'm forgetting to chmod that file, I forgot which one I was supposed to chmod, and you tell me which files and to what number?

I keep trying to log into vBSEO, but its a blank empty page, im not sure if the site is down or anything, but I can't log on so I can't even post this issue.

I'm pretty sure my .htacess was wrong, if so im sure there are many vBSEO member here, and if you can help me fill it out while I provide you my information

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ x2yzseo.php [L,QSA] 

Am I suppose remove the # and take away the dashes (\)

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Thanks!

The problem you described sounds like a vBSEO problem. I can't help you to get vBSEO working (you would have to ask their support). But you can disable vBSEO:

1) Remove the .htaccess file from your forum directory.

2) Disable plugins:
