RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]
#### EOF SSU
RewriteRule ^/page/XY/CTGY/MyCategory/$ /MyNewCategory [R=301,L]

and many other versions of the RewriteRule with my limited knowledge of regex, without success.

Since the original and new url do not pattern match well, I may need to create an rule for every category and product.

What am I missing in my rule or regex? Thanks.

Try to puts your rewriterule right below the rewrite base and see if it works
RewriteRule ^page/XY/CTGY/(.*)$ CTGY/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
(Assuming CTGY is your zencart folder?)

Im not familiar with hebrew, so I really dont know which letter is which.

today I'll fly to Tel-Aviv. can help with hebrew in next 2 days.
btw Yellow, do you remember for 2.9.6. ru.php (and also he.php) have another structure of file that for 3.x.x?

Thanks Yellow for the response. I did as you said, but my url keeps going to the "default" index page as if it is not touching .htaccess rewrite rule.

Worse now, since last night I've been getting a 500 internal server error on the admin/index.php. I reverted back to the original .htaccess, but the error persists. I cleared the browser cache, cache and sessions stored in the database, verify file and directory permission...still not working.

The server error logs inaccessible, since I'm on a share at godaddy,.

Any more help?

Thanks

If you are on GoDaddy, please note that changes to .htaccess takes several hours to be in effect *_*

Yes, which is why I made changes to the he.php xordox

To all:
I'm spending most of my time now to develop an Ajax one page checkout for Zen, so my support here will be a little slow (probably your question will be answered within 24 hours)

Thanks for your understanding.

I installed this mod but nothing has changed. Is there a way for someone to see what I did wrong? Also, what am I looking for? Will this mod let me create the url ending or will it just grab it from what ever the page title is?

Thanks a bunch
:D

You installed a mod but don't know why?

:blink:

Take a look at the insall files that came with it and make sure you've actually turned the mod on (via admin).

Only in 3+, you will have to use link alias to specify the name you want to use in place of the page title.
