Installation question

[Robert Perelman]

We ahve just built our site holsterland.com using Zen Cart v1.3.9g. I ahve italled Simple SSO add-on. I am using mostlygray template. The site is installed in \public_html\zencart\.... No matter what page i go to in my website the url just shows http://holsterland.com/. I realize that possibly the Simple SSO add-on is not working correctly, but then I would expect to see dynamic urls being generated for each page. We used to see the dynamic urls before, but the site's address was http://holsterland.com/zencart. We wanted to change it to just "www.holsterland.com", and a technical support rep has created a index.html file in our root directory. There is an index.php in the same directory, but when I am trying to view or edit it it is unreadable. Can someone, please help me understand what are we doing wrong?

Thank You,
Robert

Move it from the folder /zencart to the root or "/" level
Edit the 2 configure.php files according to the tutorial

Sounds like your tech support rep took a wimpy shortcut.

If you want to move your store to show up at http://holsterland.com/ instead of http://holsterland.com/zencart/ then you should follow this article and actually delete whatever's in the root of your public_html folder, and replace it with whatever's in your zencart folder. Once you've moved your zencart folder contents into public_html, you can delete your "/zencart/" folder.

Article which explains moving and the 2 files and 1 setting to edit: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122

Thank You again. Now my urls are displaying correctly. they are different for each product. I have installed Simple SEO URL add-on, but it does not seem to do anythng. I installed all the files and followoed the simple instructions. What do you think could be wrong with it?

It's functions rely upon .htaccess and mod rewrite and these are standard on a linux server but I am not sure that a windoze server supports .htaccess

I was having the same issue too. I'm glad I was reading around here.

There is no benefit (though probably many disadvantages) to using these so-called "SEO Modules". They do not assist with better SEO and the search engines prefer that dynamic links are not forced to static ones.

Get rid of that module and trust that the SE's will use the dynamic URL just fine...

and yes.... htaccess does not apply if you are hosting on windows.
