Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Munchie75]

Thanks for that speedy reply.
I guess URL's do change over time, and it's a shame we're not able to edit the older posts so people are aware of this.

I came across the article about redirecting your site:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...www_and_nonwww

So i amble to write the path of my URLs from:

http://example.com

To

http://www.example.com

As this is supposed to give me more qualified hits on the actual domain.

I followed the below instructions but am not getting the redirection.

# trailing slash
# If URL-path does not contain a period or end with a slash
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.|/$)
# add a trailing slash
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1/ [R=301,L]
#
# Redirect non-www domain requests to www domain
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]


In the line
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.

what should i type where 'example' is written, as i think this may be the cause of my problem.

Many thanks
Andy

example is your site name


Or you can use this posted by

Here is the code i use.
It is much more diverse and in the (nl) you can do things like (com|co\.uk|ca|co\.cz) or whatever suits the needs

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]*)\.(nl)
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.%1.%2%{REQUEST_URI} [R=permanent,L]

Most important for me was, it won't break webmail.example.nl which we use for webmail.
In fact, as a bonus, garbageortypos.example.nl will also work and go to the shop :)

Anyway, just liked to share that, cheers

I just upgraded from 2.9.6 to 3.2 and got the "Redirect Loop" problem.

If i just point to the product, i see link ok (www.mysite.com/category_1/product_1/), but when i click on this product i get Redirect problem and link in the URL is like this http://www.mysite.com/categories_nam...svoboditev.p.3


Before upgrade, all was working fine. Any idea what to do?

tnx

Clear cache in admin, see if that solves the problem

BTW, where did you get 3.2? The current latest package is ssu_beta_3.4.6(php5).

And also check if you accidentally over-wrote changes you made in htaccess. PMme link to your site as well, if you still have problem after checking all the above suggestions.

I cleared cache few times...no change
I use ssu_beta_3.4.6(php5).zip (my mistake about 3.2)
I used htaccess from the original zip file.



edit: If i clear cache i can open categories (URL is still wrong /categories_name.c.categories_name.c.ke.c.1), but not the products.

tnx

You can check site at http://www.aura-soma.si/

tnx

Can you post the htaccess content?

PS: if you change the delimiter from . to - and clear cache, does the error go away?

How do I 'clear cache in admin' or 'clear cache' in general for that matter?

I'm getting a redirect loop on login and from what i've read in this forum clearing the cache may help.

I'm no expert but i think you click the admin -> extras -> manage SSU menu.

Then the page loads and there is an option to flush cache??

if that don't work try erasing the cache/ssu directory


I only been trying to use this mod for the last couple of days so don't rely on my advice.

aaahhh... EXTRAS... thank you, that was the one I didn't check. Will go clear the cache and now and post back if that fixed the redirect loop error on login.

thank you
