SEO Ultimate URLs Question

[ryangsoton]

Hi all, ive installed the above and seemed to go fine. Admin and Main site both still work which is always a bonus for me!

However the ultimate urls isnt working. Not sure ive updated the .htaccess right. Can someone take a look?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /climax-creation.com/

# From Ultimate SEO URLs
RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=index&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-([0-9]+).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Not sure ive got the Rewrite base right. Ive uploaded all of the appropriate files, ive put this .htaccess in root folder, and thats all ive done and believe that should be it, but obviously not!

Can someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks!

This is part of the problem:

RewriteBase /climax-creation.com/

this part of the htaccess code is only if you have your site in a folder other than the root: i.e. climax-creation.com/shop

[ryangsoton]

Thank you for your quick reply. Climax-creation.com is my homepage, which then links to http://www.climax-creation.com/zen-c...eset/index.php which is where my zen cart store is.

What do i need to put instead of my inital try?

Many thanks again

Well, if that is the folder you plan on having the website in, your code would like this:


RewriteBase /zen-cart-v1.3.0.2-full-fileset/

Although for obvious reasons, I would consider renaming that folder to something different like 'shop', or moving everything into the root file.

[ryangsoton]

Many thanks for the advice. I have tried renaming the file zen-cart-v1.3.0.2-full-fileset to shop but when i go to www.climax-creation.com/shop/index.php or www.climax-creation/shop i get the following message:

Not Found

The requested URL /shop/zc_install/index.php was not found on this server.

Any ideas?

If you change your Zen Cart directory, then you will also have to update the application configure.php files to reflect that.

These instructions for changing the folder may be of help:

Thanks for your advice, going to give that a go. Currently doing a FULL backup (just in case)

Many thanks
