Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[finlander]

I would check how you named all the folders, i.e., directories. From your log file, there are folders that may not exist --
adminBeautyincludes

?? are these supposed to be named to be part of the path adminBeauty/includes

Thanks Finlander

Another question. sorry for filling up the forum but i don't have a clue regarding .htaccess

i am using the .htaccess defined in the documentation > configuration step 3.

I have "define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');" so i tried using the 1st htaccess but it did not work (i could not get to the site at all - The page could not be found). Then i tried using the 2nd example of htaccess, i was able to access my website and obviously my admin site.

So i made modification to one of the category and try to access directly but i got "page could not be found again".


here is my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

# ONLY rewrite URIs beginning with /shop/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/beautynets.com/ [NC]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/beautynets.com/admin* [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/beautynets.com/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* /beautynets.com/index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]


Please help.
Thanks

please give me the name of your site and I will look at the rewrite conditions for you.
-- never mind - I have it now .. give me a minute.

Try the code below in your .htaccess file that is in the root of your store directories (this is probably the .htaccess that you have been trying to fix).

I am making a couple of assumptions -

1. your admin directory is now named 'adminBeauty' (not the Zen Cart default 'admin'). You likely would have renamed your admin directory when you installed ZC, and if you have been using it just fine, then simply check to see what it is named, and if different from 'adminBeauty', then substitute for what you have it named. There is no path here, just the name of the folder/directory.

2. your site is served out of a virtual root directory of your host called 'ecommerce' that would be similar to how sites are served out of the more common public_html virtual root directory. Don't worry about this, unless the code below doesn't work.

3. You don't have other mod_rewrite rules in your .htaccess that are conflicting/interfering with these new rewrite rules. If so, things could get messy, but most people would not already have put other mod_rewrites in .htaccess at this point.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#
# Do not apply following rules to admin area of Zen Cart.
RewriteRule ^(adminBeauty) - [L,S=1]
#
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/adminBeauty [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
#

hi coner, could you tell me when and if you are are updating ceon mapping to remap existing urls automatically, without going into each product and updating each product manually.

thanks champo

It looks to still be in development..

Hi,

the htacess file is inside the zen cart folder named shop..do is have to be there or outside on the root before the zen cart folder?

That's the right place.

Sorry, but it sounds like there's something up on your site.. either a conflicting rewrite rule in a .htaccess file in your root folder or your server is different.

Is your webserver Apache or IIS?

You may have to pay a developer to debug things for you.

All the best...

Hi,

ahhh ... the width of Config screen in Admin is fine in Firefox, but splays waayy out to the right in IE browser. I'll have to add a width somewhere in ceon_uri_mapping_config.php to keep it over to the left in IE.

The software is fine with both Firefox and IE8.. I have seen this problem you mention of overly wide rendering before.. it was due to custom CSS used by the site. On a standard Zen Cart installation the config page fits in the browser window.

You need to fix the CSS on your admin side.

All the best..

Hi Andreas,

Hi I have just installed this module. I can get to my store website but i could not get to the admin console. I don't understand why.

Your problem is nothing to do with the .htaccess file. You have uploaded the admin files to the wrong folder!

You have probably uploaded the admin files to a folder called "admin" but your site doesn't use a folder called "admin". A silly but easy mistake to make!

Re-start the installation from scratch, following each step carefully, and you'll get the software installed fine. :)

All the best...
