Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.103 .htaccess is giving me trouble

[PastGenToys]

I am using the current version of the zen cart and have added all the file that came in Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.103

when I add the .htaccess the site goes down. I did change /shop/ to my url - www.pastgenerationtoys.com

What else do I need to do? Seems like a very cool mod that I could really use. Thanks! PGT

What was the exact error message?

There may be several reasons for malfunction. You probably need to enable mod_rewrite for your site.

This is the wb page I see when I use the new .htaccess file

My hosting is with Go Daddy and they support mod_rewrite so please let me know what I need to do. Thanks again, PGT

I just tried to sign into my admin page for first time since I started this install and got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: seo_url in /home/content/p/i/p/pipsmker/html/includes/autoload_func.php on line 79


Please advise as now I am on lock down. Thanks

Make sure you have installed Ultimate SEO URLs correctly. Also post content of your .htaccess file when Internal Server Error occur.

"/shop/" should not be changed to your URL. If Zencart is installed in your root folder it should just be changed to "/"

iRAY,

I have gone back through and ensured that I have every file in the correct location. That must have been part of the issue but now i have a new problem.

When I try to visit my site url I get the following message:

1054 Unknown column 'c.parent_id' in 'on clause'
in:
[SELECT c.categories_id as id, c.parent_id, cd.categories_name as cName, cd2.categories_name as pName FROM categories c, categories_description cd LEFT JOIN categories_description cd2 ON c.parent_id=cd2.categories_id AND cd2.language_id='1' WHERE c.categories_id=cd.categories_id AND cd.language_id='1']

I did some research and now have turned the 'SEO mod' and 'Add category parent to begining of URLs' to flase the site is back'?

Call off the hounds!! I changes site to / in the .htaccess file and enabled the SEO stuff and all is good!

##### NOTE: Replace /shop/ with the relative web path of your catalog in the "Rewrite Base" line below:

Just for clarity, the term "relative" means relative to your stores URL in this case. So if your store is in the root directory the relative path is "/". ie. no directory. If your store was in a directory called "shop" the relative path would be "/shop/" so you could leave the line as it was.
