Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I'm having a problem with this, it gets to a redirect loop. I have a shared SSL and my configure.php and .htaccess are as follow:

configure.php

Code:

---

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.hosting.com');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~myusername/');

---

and the .htaccess is:

Code:

---

# To set your custom php.ini, add the following line to this file:
# suphp_configpath /home/yourusername/path/to/php.ini

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "~subfolder" and "catalog" to whatever they are on your server.
RewriteBase /~myusername/

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

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

# STRIP THE REWRITEBASE RULE FROM NON-SSL CONNECTIONS.
# Make sure to change "~subfolder" and "catalog" to whatever they are on your server.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/~myusername/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

---

Everythin is fine in the non-SSL pages but as soon as I click login it will go into a loop making it like https:/secure.host.com/~myusername/~myusername/~myusername/~myusername/login?zenid=hash and it should be something like https:/secure.host.com/~myusername//login?zenid=hash

Any idea? I suspect it's something concerning the .htaccess... Thank you.

Something strange happened this morning, it suddently started working. I suppose was something related to cache... Can anyone still take a look at the code to see if it makes any sense? My .htaccess skills are close to 0. Thanks

This are the steps I got to get this working.

1) Installed module manager
2) As a result of trying to different versions I had a number of
files in different places. I went through the install proceedures
and removed all files referring to the 2 separate versions.

As I have direct access to my database through phpmyadmin.
I ran the follow sql query at:

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...uninstallation

Then and droped any tables referring to ssu and deleted its
record from the module version tracker table.

I am now using version 3.8.5 which I got from easycommerce.

I followed the install instrucations at:

http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...u/installation

And installed the files to their correct folders.

Next I logged into the admin and went to extras>Simple SEO URL Manager.

A few scripts ran and automatically installed.
I know could access simple seo under both extras>Simple SEO URL Manager and configuration>simple seo url.

When I turned simple seo I was getting no file specified when
I tried to view pages (Related to my host).

I then followed the instructions at:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...file_specified

Except I added: cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1 to the php.ini folder in my
root folder and not the zencart folder.

I also edited the htaccess file in the zencart folder

Code:

---

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L,PT]

---

to

Code:

---

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L,PT]

---

Not sure which of this worked (or have an advise effect doing both) but resolved my issues.


My Urls are now currently showing up as expected

store/brake-disc-and-pad-kits-c-7 etc... in the code.

For some reason this install requires the .htaccess file to be located in the root of the zencart installation directory and not in the base directory of the site. If I remove this file the site does not work despite having everything written into the file in the root directory.:(

And since you've indicated in the Ceon URI Support thread that you've already installed Ultimate URLs and Ceon URI Mapping, you need to understand that you CANNOT install MULTIPLE SEO mods together.. You need to PICK ONE of these modules and stick with it.. The various SEO mods are NOT designed to work with each other.. So pick a path:

• Ultimate URLs
• Simple SEO URL
• Ceon URI Mapping

You CANNOT install any combination of these mods TOGETHER. They simply will fail..

Also it bears saying this as well.. You need to THOROUGHLY read the readme files for whichever SEO mod you choose, and when posting questions on the forum don't simply post a blanket "who can help me?" statement without first reading the readme file and searching these support threads.. (where many of the most frequently answered questions have already been answered)

If after searching the forum and reading the readme you still need help, the community is happy to help, but you have to clarify what you need help with.. simply say "who can help me?" without any indication that you've read the readme or support threads translates to many as saying "I didn't feel like reading all of this stuff.. can you just do this for me"
