If you see nothing in there, it means that it is not on yet. Please post your ssu setting here.

Very weird, setting looks right.

But the fact that you see nothing in side the alias table means that no alias is built. I would assume that you turn on the auto alias after you turn ssu and alias status on for a while, so all the cache is already built. But, if it is the case, then when you delete your cache you should not have that problem at all.

Try this:
1. Turn ssu off for a few minutes
2. Make sure all cache files are cleared.
3. Turn it on again

If you need more help and want me to get into your site to check things for you, pm me (and it's free ^_^)

If I turn if off then the whole site ends up linking back to the static web page which is the index page for the site. So something is not right somewhere.

So I've rolled the code back to remove SSU

@Steve_A : Yes, exactly, if you turn it off it will go back to the normal links, that is the desired behavior. At the same time, it will also stop creating new cache file. So just turn it off for a few mins, use that time to clean up all cache files, then switch on again!

No, it messed the whole site up an kept throwing me back to the static html page which is the index for the site. That was after I'd turned it off and delete the cache files

If you can, create a temporary account for your ftp and admin the pm me so I can check it for you. It's faster for both of us that way, since I dont know exactly what's going on your side.

OK I swapped over to the file set without SSU installed. Cleared down all the cache flles. Went into the DB and truncated the links_aliases table and then swapped the file sets back over and its now working.

Surely the contents of that table should be visible in the manage aliases drop down?

My Zencart install uses newzen_ as a prefix.. just wondering if thats upsetting things?
