OK, this is working very well now, EXCEPT one odd thing.

I have configured for previous vbulletin installation in a subdirectory. (It is now in root but was in /community/)

So have copied (from SourceLocation) .htaccess and index.php copied into /community/ as in the instructions, and the redirects are just showing a blank white page.

index.php =

PHP: 
<?php

// Enter the full path to your XenForo directory here:
$dir = '/home/username/public_html/xenforo2';

require($dir . '/home/caf/public_html');

XF::start($dir);
XF::runApp('XF301VB\Pub\App');

BUT

it all works perfectly if instead of that I just keep what I previously, which was a catch-all redirect from the subdirectory /community/

ie in there I already had .htaccess (which I disabled while testing the xenforo method). This is what I had in there:

Code: 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,L]

So as it all works like this, shall I keep it like that or better to try and get it working as in the xenforo instructions?

is that the actual content of your index.php? You should have edited the $dir value, rather than editing the require() line - give that a try and you should have more luck.
 
@Mr Lucky just to be clear, your index.php should look like this:
PHP: 
<?php

// Enter the full path to your XenForo directory here:
$dir = '/home/caf/public_html';

require($dir . '/src/XF.php');

XF::start($dir);
XF::runApp('XF301VB\Pub\App');
and your old .htaccess file should be removed in favour of the one that ships with XF301VB.

Sadly not working for us :/

Old VB4 URL: https://forum.blabla.cz/showthread.php/120013-something
New XF2 URL: https://forum.blabla.cz/threads/something.120013/

By calling the old URL we're getting:


Note that we've migrated from vB to XF1 then to XF2 BETA1. Now we're on XF2 2.0.1

Thank you in advance for your help.

Same here.
I migrated from vB4 to XF1
After I upgraded xf1 to xf2, I also have to upgrade redirection scripts (this one) from older one.
Yesterday, when xf 2.0.2 come with addon XenForo Redirects for vBulletin I remove redirect scripts and install official addon but any old vb link on my forum just show 404 Not Found.

nginx 1.13.8
php 7.2.2

I uninstall this addon and put redirect scripts back to server and everything is fine.
How to redirect old vb links without redirect sript to xf links with help of this addon?

index.php configured as it should be now. my old old .htaccess replaced with xenforo .htaccess (in /community/ directory)

This variable defines where XenForo is installed.

If you have not installed XenForo into the same directory in which
vBulletin was installed, you will need to provide the full path to
the XenForo directory here. Remove the leading // and then enter
the path as in the following examples:

    $fileDir = '/home/example/public_html/new_forums';

    $fileDir = 'C:/inetpub/wwwroot/xenforo';

\* ----------------------------------------------------------- */

    $fileDir = '/home/caf/public_html';

/* ----------------------------------------------------------- *\
This constant defines the table from which the import redirection
scripts will fetch their data. Normally they will use the table
'xf_import_log', but if you have archived your import data, you
should provide the name of the archive table here. Remove the
leading // and then replace 'import_log_x' with the name of your
archive table, as in the following examples:

    define('IMPORT_LOG_TABLE', 'my_import_log');

    define('IMPORT_LOG_TABLE', 'import_log_my_forums');

\* ----------------------------------------------------------- */

    define('IMPORT_LOG_TABLE', 'archived_import_log');

@Mr Lucky your error 'ErrorException: [E_WARNING] Cannot modify header information - headers already sent' suggests that there are errors in your index.php that cause content to be output, such as whitespace before the <?php tag. Try killing it and editing a fresh copy from the SourceLocation folder.

If you are still having problems after that, submit a support ticket for my attention including SSH details for your server.

Yes, there was witespace (I'd copied and pasted from your code in post 24 above and must have done that by mistake , however still doesn't work with fresh index.php. It converts the URL but does not redirect out of the /community/ directory

Will submit the ticket for you.

@Kier I do not have any vbulletin folder. My forum is in root, so when migrated, I delete vbulletin files and upload xf files.
I migrated from vb4 to xf1 some 3 years ago.
Only thing that I did is upload this redirect scripts and all old vblinks redirect to xenforo. That all working. vB links redirect to xenforo links.
Only thing I change is edit 301config.php file to point to import log table.

When this adon show up, I delete all that files (redirect scripts) including 301config files, install this addon, in options of addon point to import log table but old links (vb links) shows 404 not found.

Same thing here. When I disable the addon I can move a post from one thread to another. If the addon is enabled, I get this:

When adding a thread poll widget via admin.php?widgets/add I get an error.

The thread URL I'm submitting looks like this:
https://xxx.com/threads/thread-name.9988/

It appears to be parsing the poll thread url through this redirect script.

XenForo updated XenForo Redirects for vBulletin with a new update entry:

1.1.0, with support for non-content paths

Following suggestions from @Steffen, the redirect add-on will now support a collection of non-content links that may be commonly referrered to in user generated content.
Steffen said:
I'd consider some of them essential because they are likely referenced in old threads and emails (lostpw, terms, requestemail), others would be nice to have.
Code: 
/login.php -> /login/
/login.php?do=lostpw -> /lost-password/
/memberlist.php -> /members/...
