Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[epsports]

Problem still exists with login in the exclude list. It seems to be when it redirects to the homepage. With yours you get a perfect url, with mine you get a random / and the durplicate zenid.
What is it that generates that zenid? any way to remove it?
Any ideas if there would be a way to specify a particular generic 'success' page for after login? rather than it directing back the previous page? I just need a workaround of some sort for now. The site is live and it is essential I have the mod functioning for the cats and prods.
Oh the joys!

Did you install Ultimate SEO, then uninstall it then install Simple SEO? I am having the same error as you are. I had installed Ultimate SEP, and did not like it, then installed Simple SEO and I just discovered this issue.

Maybe I need to start with a clean install.

What plugins do you have on your site?

[yellow1912]

Having two modules trying to parse the url and doing the redirection will always mess things up. I recommend trying a clean install, on a test site. If you have any problem, it will be easier for me to help you on a test site as well (I dont want to mess up your live site)

That is exactlly what I did. I thought I uninstalled it but clearly not. Thank you Yellow for spending so much time on this. I'm going to try a clean install, I just need to research on here how to backup products and such properly.

Just create a subfolder called test, then install a new zencart on it, then we can test and see if it works, if it does, then we will go back and clean up the original one.

That will save your time ^_^

3.2.7 is now available with fixed and improved link alias caching. Let me know how it works out for you.
(Note:3.2.x is still in alpha testing, do not use on live sites)

Thanks for the offer Yellow but I wasn't too far in. I copied what I needed in the database then wiped everything clean and started fresh. Amazingly it only took 3 hours to get the important things set back up. I installed SSU and it worked great this time! The only minor issue I ran into was for a while I was getting "page could not be found" but you warned me about the delay after modifying the .htaccess file so I gave it an hour and it worked beautifully!

I know I've said it a few times, but thanks so much for all your help with this problem. You really went out of your way to get me up and running. I'll be sure to return the favor if I see someone else in need once I learn Zen Cart.

I installed SSU and it worked great this time! The only minor issue I ran into was for a while I was getting "page could not be found" but you warned me about the delay after modifying the .htaccess file so I gave it an hour and it worked beautifully!

It looks like I spoke a little too soon. I hadn't checked at the time, but after my changes to the .htaccess file applied I'm unable to access the Admin portal. It gives me an error "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."

I had been working through another problem with the Admin portal and the person who was assisting me suggested it could be caused by my .htaccess file. After he looked over them he suggested the following line was giving me an issue.

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

Is there any way you could take a look and see if this is my cause? Here are my .htaccess files:

/html/.htaccess

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /

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

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

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

/html/admin/.htaccess

# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to
# the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
#   AllowOverride Options
# </Directory>
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the
# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet
# Explorer browsers

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
  <IfDefine SSL>
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
             nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
             downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
  </IfDefine>
</IfModule>

# Fix certain PHP values

#<IfModule mod_php4.c>
#  php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
#  php_value register_globals 1
#</IfModule>

# to turn off register_globals
# php_value register_globals 0

As reported by several users experiencing this problem, in your admin/.htaccess you can add this line:
RewriteEngine Off
