Then as I said before you must have had it there before. Please reupload the files for the module. There is no SQL file to run for the module, you must have remembered that wrong.

All the best..

Ceon, thanks for this amazing add-on. I haven't installed it yet. I am trying to be careful when modifying something in an operational website, so I have a question that will help me plan accordingly:

In step 4 you instruct to "Add the Rewrite Rules to Apache". Now, in my webhost there is only one .htaccess in ~/public_html but I actually have two stores:

1. ~/public_html/store - the operational store exposed to the world.
2. ~/public_html/test-store - where I test dangerous changes before applying them to the operational store.

My questions is how do I apply step 4 to the test-store only without affecting the operational store?

Thanks.

Yes, but there is only one .htaccess file. There are two stores. Where is this covered in configuration.html? Thanks.

Re-read the ENTIRE section that covers how to setup the .htaccess file for Ceon URI.. It is VERY well covered... specifically how to set up the .htaccess for a specific directory within the root.. (each of your stores resides in a different directory within the root..)

It's not.. the instructions are for the module, not for how to set up websites! There are plenty of guides on the net about htaccess files and rewrite rules.

This also isn't a "pre-set up" thread, I think you're expecting a bit much for a free distribution.

Nevertheless, the answer you are looking for is that you create a .htaccess file for each store and put these files in the individual stores' directories. Your server will check the .htaccess file in the root directory first, then it will check any subdirectories to see if they have .htaccess files.. so the .htaccess file for the appropriate store will be loaded when the webserver attempts to open /store or /test-store (i.e. /store/.htaccess or /test-store/.htaccess).

As both stores are in a subdirectory of the root of the site, you should use the appropriate rewrite rule example for stores which are in a subdirectory.

As long as your root .htaccess file doesn't interfere with the subdirectory .htaccess files, everything should be smooth enough.

All the best...

Conor, thank you very much!!! You were right on the money - this is exactly the tip I was looking for. I am not an Apache expert and so I needed a pointer to where I can focus my learning in this subject. Thank you!!!
