Chemo's Ultimate URL's

Hi - did you get a fix for this? I'm running lighttpd and when I enable the seo module it redirects fine to the friendly url but it also says 404 -not found. It's driving me crazy. I've put an adapted htaccess file in the root (for lighttpd) but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I've not enabled the rewrite module in lighttpd but I don't know how to check. I've created a phpinfo file but I don't know what I'm looking for.

Yuck :-(

Hi
I was using theUltimate SEO URL and seemed to be having the same problem,

All catalog pages went 404.

My Solution was 2 things:

In the .htaccess file I changed this line to"RewriteBase /" because my store was installed in main directory not subdirectory

also make sure you add the . (dot) in front of htaccess file name it should be .htaccess

Now it works great

Hope this helps someone

Hi,

My website is build in zencart version 1.3.8a. while using xenu test tool all the html links are reported has "404 page not found" error. But all the page are working fine in the browsers. I request you to help me in this issue.

Please help me.

I also have this issue - installed the latest version of the Ultimate SEO URL's module (2.109) on top of the latest release of Zen Cart (1.3.9h) and all links produce a 404 error.

Problem is, there's been a lot of talk about editing the .htaccess file in the root folder of the cart installation (ie. in my case - with it being under a subdomain (http://designing.theweare.net) - the "root" would be the folder named designing), except in my installation there is no .htaccess in the root directory. There are a number of others inside subfolders - there's even one called htaccess_for_page_not_found_redirects.htaccess which I find particularly amusing :laugh: - do I move one of the existing files to the cart's root directory? Do I simply edit one of the existing ones and leave it where it is (if so, which one/s)? Or do I just create a blank .htaccess file and add the rewrite rules to it?

The existing .htaccess files are in the current locations:

Quote:

/designing/editors/.htaccess

/designing/pub/.htaccess

/designing/images/.htaccess

/designing/images/uploads/.htaccess

/designing/zc_admin/.htaccess

/designing/zc_admin/includes/.htaccess

/designing/download/.htaccess

/designing/media/.htaccess

/designing/extras/.htaccess

/designing/extras/htaccess_for_page_not_found_redirects.htaccess

/designing/email/.htaccess

/designing/docs/.htaccess

/designing/cache/.htaccess

/designing/includes/.htaccess

/designing/includes/classes/support/.htaccess

/designing/includes/modules/payment/linkpoint_api/.htaccess

/designing/includes/modules/payment/paypal/logs/.htaccess

Any help would be appreciated... :smile:

Thanks in advance,

LJ

P.S.
If the key to this module working is in the .htaccess file, how would it work for sites under a subdomain, as opposed to a subdirectory? For example, the site in question here is http://designing.theweare.net - not http://www.theweare.net/designing - would the previously mentioned "/designing/" hack still work for this (I'm assuming it refers to the folder on the server that all files are contained in, so if that's the case I think it should, but can't be sure - plus I've just tested the subdirectory URL structure and it seems to work just like the subdomain one)?

The first ruleset produces a 302 redirect and does not redirect www requests with an appended port number.

The second ruleset never gets to run. Even so, the L flag is missing from that rule.

Try one rule:

Code:

---

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.example\.com)?$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

The multiple (.*) patterns cause this code to run hundreds of times slower than it should. Every URL request hitting your server results in mod_rewrite performing thousands or tens of thousands of "back off and retry" "trial match" attempts.

The code will run much more efficiently if the patterns can be parsed left-to-right in one attempt. Additionally, the [QSA] flag does the same job as &%{QUERY_STRING} but in less CPU cycles.

Try:

Code:

---

RewriteRule ^(([^-]+-)+)p-([^.]+)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(([^-]+-)+)c-([^.]+)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=index&cPath=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(([^-]+-)+)n-([^.]+)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=news_article&article_id=$3 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^(([^-]+-)+)m-([0-9]+)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=$3 [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^(([^-]+-)+)pji-([^.]+)\.html$ index\.php?main_page=document_product_info&products_id=$3 [QSA,L]

There is still a huge danger in this code. The $1 backreference should be passed to the index.php script as another paramter and the value checked. If the $1 value is not valid for the current value of $3, the script should be returning either a 301 redirect to the correct URL or a 404 error. Failure to do this opens the site to infinite Duplicate Content issues because any and all values of $1 will result in your site returning a page of content and the "200 OK" status code.

hello, i go to url www.site.com/product-name-aaa-11.html, i get product info page of product aaa,
