First off, thank you for a great mod. I have having troubles with getting my standard zen cart pages to work after I have installed this mod.

my website is http://www.dscrossstitchonline.com/

I've been through all the products/catagories/ezpages and generated url's for them and they are working great.

My problem is with pages like productsall, productsnew, specials, privacy notcice, contact us, discount coupons etc. None of these links are working.

I've been throught the docs and this forum thread and see people with similar problems but I couldn't find a solution. I'm guessing it's my .htaccess file and this is its contents

RewriteEngine On

# 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} !^/monkey2 [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]

and this .htaccess is in with the index.php etc at the root of my shop. My host doesn't use apache, it's h-sphere if that helps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm glad you like it.

I have NEVER seen that problem before. It must be something to do with your store/server configuration.

Please get in contact via this address with FTP and admin details for your site and I'll take a look.

All the best..

Hi,

I've found and fixed the problem on your site.

It turns out that you had SimpleSEO installed and you had removed its rewrite rules, but it was still enabled, so it was "responsible" for the likes of the "index" page etc.

I've disabled SimpleSEO and everything is working perfectly now! :)

Enjoy the new URIs and the rest of your weekend!

All the best..

Thank you for taking the time to help, i'll recommend your mod to everyone I can

Which of these is correct? The first is what it's writing now, and unless Google parses out the & correctly, I don't think this is valid. Or am I worrying for nothing?

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=126" />

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=126" />

Neither of those is a Ceon URI Mapping canonical URI.

This is the wrong thread then for that question.

If you had a Ceon URI Mapping canonical URI it would not have index.php in it.

I'd imagine you'll find a mistake you made in the installation.

Ah ... found the issue. And what a trivial issue it was! I've some how managed to miss 2 fairly important looking files from the Files > Includes folder. Not even from the core_rewrites, just from the basic files folder.

Working perfectly now, thankfully! It looked like a great plugin, so I'm glad we now have it running and don't have to change.

Thanks for your support. Much appreciated.
