phpBB Search Engine Optimization - Sessions, static ( SEO )

Do I have to edit the .htaaccess located in my site's root directory

or create an .htaaccess file in my phpBB2 root?

Also, will this work with a 2.03 forum?

Thanks

Hey there!

I've been using parts of your Mod for quite awhile now to great success.

I just realized though, that all my pages and topics that go to Page 2 and beyond are no longer accessible. In other words, If you hit 2, 3, or Next or whatever, it just goes back to the same page.

Which part of the code is the edit to fix this?

Thanks!

Code:phpBB : Critical Error
Error creating new session
DEBUG MODE
SQL Error : 1114 The table 'phpbb_sessions' is full


Any idea why its happening. Its occuring more often after this mod installed.

Another script I use is also using Mod Rewrite.
Can anyone note what needs to be changed for the static HTML to work.

Foul,

I can write up some good robot.txt code when I get some time.

Thing is, I am wary of posting it, because silly mistakes (on the part of the implementor) can get whole forums restricted and I don't want to deal with those support requests (which I expect might contain a healthy dose of frustration and a sense of urgency to boot).

Does everything remains the same ? I mean the same snippets of code needs to be search and replaced ? If yes, GREAT.
