Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[milobloom]

I cant seem to figure this one out...
Had it working on 2 of my 3 sites.

This one, www.allforyourwedding.com
Wont seem to work. Keep getting the eternal error.

This is what I get when I run the test

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content
Success #### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

#### EOF SSU
Warning Checking cache write permission

Tried putting that in my .htaccess file but that didnt work.

What do I try next?

I hope you didnt put the whole thing in your htaccess, you are supposed to put

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

#### EOF SSU

Odd

Tried it again and it worked.

Probably put in something wrong or something.

Hi there,

Two issues:

1. I notice that if i don't clear the cache for a few days, i start getting duplicate URLs.

For example, my URL should be:
http://macdonald-sporrans.com/prince-charlie-outfits

But sometimes the page displays with a URL with identifiers:
http://macdonald-sporrans.com/prince...-outfits-c-2_4

The page is exactly the same, and displays on both URLs, presumably creating duplicate content.

Once i clear the cache, this problem goes away and it reverts back to the URL without identifiers.

Q: Any idea why this problem is occurring?

2. I notice that my cache folder gets considerably large after a few days - over 300Mb last time i checked!
I understand that a cache folder speeds up the load time, but i'm not sure why it is taking up so much space, or why there are so many files (30,000+ files) when i have only 1500 products.

Q: Does the cache folder have a finite size and quantity of files, or will it keep expanding indefinitely?

Q: Why is it so large, and why does it create so many files?

Any help on these issues would be much appreciated.

Does this URL look right?

Should I modify it?

There is no reason you should have to clear cache to prevent duplicated urls, something must have gone wrong. This can be a wrong file permission setting. If you are using 3.6.6 (upgrade if you dont have it), there is an option in the manager to help fix this issue.

Also, 3.6.6 keeps the number of cache files down. But please remember that, each product has more than 1 link, and if you are using alias then everylink is cached whether it is a product link or not. So a large number of files are expected. Note that in the latest version there is also a cron file to use to clear cache periodically, though it is not required to do so.

I'm just clearing the cache and will let you know in a few days. However, after the upgrade the 3.6.6 it appears that the links are displaying incorrectly:

Check and fix cache(Run this once if you upgrade from any version older than 3.6.5): Click here

this links to: https://macdonald-sporrans.com/admin...che&folder=all


Reset all cache: Click here

this links to : https://macdonald-sporrans.com/admin..._and_fix_cache

I would say that you probably have changed your admin location, and you have not changed your admin/includes/configure.php so that the links are displayed correctly.
