Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

Not at my development computer at the moment, but I would venture the client has "automatic redirects" enabled in Ultimate URLs... And someone (or bot) is sending unusual request URIs to the server (with malformed data)...

Out of curiousity can you verify my guess by examing the corresponding request URIs from the webserver "access.log" around the time of those warnings?


Would not worry too much, but you may want to upgrade PHP as the warning is only generated under PHP 5.3.2 and older (past EOL).

Still awaiting some feedback, but last time I went a looking for the "access log" files, appeared as if the host would have to provide the requested URI information. That said, after I thought about it some more, I realized I was able to reproduce the error by providing a similar malformed url, but at the time couldn't identify the characteristic that would more than likely cause the problem (PHP version combined with "automatic redirects). Hopefully can easily resolve (server side issues that may/may not exist) knowing/having more of an idea of what to do.

Will report findings when information is made available. (Not available because haven't been told I'm allowed to login to site to pull up the information/nor place a file to obtain the same.)

I've installed the latest version of this module as found in the downloads onto a 1.5.3 site. I used the additional files found on post 555 for 1.5.2 and carefully merged these with the 1.5.3 files. htaccess is the one supplied in the downloaded files.

My problem is that every page is redirecting to /page.html no matter what i do with admin settings.

Anyone got any ideas what i need to be looking for to fix this?
I have checked and double checked the merges.

Thanks

I have never seen this module redirect every request to "/page.html". If you are seeing the redirect even when the "admin setting" for this module is set to disabled, best guess would be some other alteration is present and causing the issue.

What other modifications are present? Was this a Zen Cart upgrade (versions and process used if upgraded)? Was a different (or older) plugin installed to alter URLs (names and versions)? Copy of the .htaccess file in the Zen Cart store's root folder? Copy of any .htaccess file in parent directories? Any "redirects" configured by the hosting company? Copy of "/includes/configure.php"? Messages displayed during install? Copy of any "debug log" files?

Please wrap any answers to the above questions containing file contents in [code][/code] tags. This will make them easier to read. The # button in the editor when posting can be used to add the code tags.

Any new word on Ultimate URL 2.215? Just upgraded to 1.5.4 and the current model doesn't not work with it.

HINT... this is why it always pays to read/search through support threads.. Questions are often already addressed..

No release date yet for Ultimate URLs 2.215; have not heard from any of the current BETA testers yet. In their defense they are donating their time, so they may have other priorities at the moment.

Hi,

Code:

---

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

This indicates your hosting provider's server did not like something and encountered an internal error. The usual causes are problems encountered when uploading files - or files skipped / missed during installation and merging (most common), mistakes / errors in the Zen Cart configuration files (common), an improperly configured "RewriteBase" in the .htaccess file (less common), the server not supporting one of the directives in the .htaccess file (uncommon), or an issue with the server iteslf (rare).

The best way to start debugging an "Internal Server Error" is to obtain the error log from the server. Most often this will be the webserver error log (for Apache). In some cases the hosting provider may have a log file also defined in "php.ini". You may need to contact the Hosting Provider to obtain the actual error log and messages. The link in my signature "Where are the HTTP 500 / Server Error Logs?" contains some additional information.

In addition to the "Server Error Logs" answers to the other questions in the posting tips (scroll up when posting to find the posting tips) would be useful. For example, the contents of the page shown by Zen Cart under "admin" -> "version"?

I would be happy to beta test. I'm in the midst of updating a site for a customer of mine to 1.5.4 and they had this plugin installed on 1.3.9h and need it on the new site. Let me know if I can get an early look at it and help out with the beta testing.

Beta testing JUST to get the latest version?? Not sure that's going to be possible.. That said.. I'm not the active author/contributor of this module.. It's HIS decision as to who he includes as beta testers..
