Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[4thwave]

Hello all,
I have installed the Simple Seo mod and when I click on a product page I get the "Page Not Found" error, only the index page is working. http://www.j w b o o k s.o r g/watchtower-magazines-leatherette-reprints-c-151

I am getting nice product URL iin the address bar just no return page from the server.

I believe it may be because the htaccess file is not written correctly but the doc's are a little difficult to understand if you do not know programming.

Can anyone help?

More than likely you have the htaccess set incorrectly. For you site, try to use RewriteBase /

Thank you for the help!!!

Should the file look like this?

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^productid([^.]+).*$ yourscript.php?id=$1 [T=application/x-httpd-php]


Also, does it still take GoDaddy awhile to implement the .htaccess?

here is what I get with the "/" entered:

http://www.j w b o o k s.o r g/russell-rutherford-studies-in-the-scriptures-c-56?zenid=63v3sgcehss6oldlo8q65plpi4

Doen't seem right?:

If you mean the zenid, yes it should be there.

Are you hosting on GoDaddy? Change to htaccess on godaddy may take hours to work.

I'm trying to install version ssu_beta_3.5.7(php5), which is the current latest version (I believe) on http://store.splatcooking.net

I've followed the instructions on the wiki and modified the .htaccess file using the suggested content from ssu_check.php. When I turn on ssu the modified urls are being served up, but clicking on a link results in a 'Page Not Found' error. What are the troubleshooting steps I should take?

1. Post the htaccess content here
2. Make sure your server does have mod_rewrite

My .htaccess file is:

#### BOF SSU 
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews 
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteBase /store/ 

# 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. 
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/store/ 
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L] 
#### EOF SSU

This is what ssu_check.php suggested. My apache module config is:

# httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
  core.c
  mod_authn_file.c
  mod_authn_default.c
  mod_authz_host.c

  mod_negotiation.c
  mod_dir.c
  mod_actions.c
  mod_userdir.c
  mod_alias.c
  mod_rewrite.c
  mod_so.c

looks to me as though mod_rewrite is enabled. Any help?

@pglock: I dont think you need /store/
yours should be RewriteBase /

[pglock]

Thanks for the quick response (don't you sleep?). I've tried modifying the .htaccess file to 'ReWriteBase /' , but that gave me a 500 error so I replaced it with the one from the install package and changed that to 'ReWriteBase /' .

When I turn ssu on, each rewritten url is still in the form 'store.splatcooking.net/store/xxx'.

This domain is a subdomain of www.splatcooking.net, the files are located in .../public_html/store i.e. it is possible to browse to the same files at www.splatcooking.net/store. Could this be why the 'store' gets added to the rewritten url? In which case, could some regular expression guru advise on how to format the rewrite rules please.
