Missing User-agent directive! Found Allow - what does this mean? - user-agent

I ran my site through http://www.frobee.com/robots-txt-check and it came back with a few errors.
Here is my robots.txt file:

The errors I get are 'Missing User-agent directive! Found Allow' and 'Missing User-agent directive! Found Disallow'. I'm not sure why?
Thanks

In robots.txt empty lines are used to separate multiple directives. Just remove or comment the empty lines and you should be fine.

Open up phpMyAdmin or whichever database tool you have available for your site and enter the query:
SELECT * FROM `core_config_data` WHERE `path` LIKE 'web%url';
Make sure none of the returned values end with "index.php" because that really shouldn't be there. This is what a healthy result should look like:
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| config_id | scope | scope_id | path | value |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| 6 | default | 0 | web/unsecure/base_url | http://www.example.com/ |
| 7 | default | 0 | web/secure/base_url | http://www.example.com/ |
| 15 | default | 0 | web/unsecure/base_link_url | {{unsecure_base_url}} |
| 16 | default | 0 | web/unsecure/base_skin_url | {{unsecure_base_url}}skin/ |
| 17 | default | 0 | web/unsecure/base_media_url | {{unsecure_base_url}}media/ |
| 18 | default | 0 | web/unsecure/base_js_url | {{unsecure_base_url}}js/ |
| 19 | default | 0 | web/secure/base_link_url | {{secure_base_url}} |
| 20 | default | 0 | web/secure/base_skin_url | {{secure_base_url}}skin/ |
| 21 | default | 0 | web/secure/base_media_url | {{secure_base_url}}media/ |
| 22 | default | 0 | web/secure/base_js_url | {{secure_base_url}}js/ |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
If you had to adjust any rows clear the cache by deleting var/cache/* in the web folder.

I copied this robots from Magento default robots.txt and I add some folders that I don't need to get it indexed.
Thanks
Magento doesn't ship with a default robots.txt. The folks over on Webmasters StackExchange can probably better tell you what Google thinks you're blocking important page, but blocking this

I'm trying to setup a sub domain for my wordpress images and i have been setting up the a virtualhost which is pointing to default wordpress upload directory. The problem is that the sub-domain is getting overridden by wordpress .htaccess.
the apache virtualhost
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName img.mydomain.com
ServerAlias img.mydomain.com
DocumentRoot C:/inetpub/wwwroot/mydomain.com/wp-content/uploads/
</VirtualHost>
if I call the subdomain I get an 502 Error

# Add next lines:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^img\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/wp-content/uploads/ [NC]
...
# END WordPress
In this case, there are several rules at the top of the file, before the # BEGIN W3TC CDN comment, that could also be applied to the request as only some of them make sure it is to http://www.mydomain.com, considering the conditions are only valid for the next rule.
So I think it needs at least another exclusion here:
# Add next line:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^img\.mydomain\.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
Maybe it is necessary to add the same 2 lines to other rules before the # BEGIN W3TC CDN comment, though. I don't know, but this is the general idea.

mod_rewrite to direct some requests to a new directory

I have a website with a frontend and a backend that all run through index.php. To access the back end you would go to http://www.mysite.com/Admin. This will still run through index.php but then connect to the database and go to the correct directory. The backend manages donation information that is collected on the site.
I want to change the front end to WordPress but still collect donation information in the original database and view it from the backend.
Rather than rewrite all the code, I was wondering if there was a way I could use mod-rewrite and place the WordPress files in a separate directory. This way any request that included /Admin as the start would go through the original index.php and any other request would redirect to directory with WordPress.
I originally tried:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Admin
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ gpf/$1 [L]
but a request for /Admin just gives me a 404 error.
Thanks in advance for any help.
This is the full .htaccess file

Try adding an additional condition:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/gate
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /gpf/$1 [L]
And move the rules after all of the /gate/ rules.
