My Site - Zen Cart & WordPress integration specialist
I don't answer support questions via PM. Post add-on support questions in the support thread. The question & the answer will benefit others with similar issues.
Wow - now I feel like I shouldn't even post....
I hate to disturb people on their vacations.
Sigh...
Anyway, I'm the nutcase who has two identical 1.39h Zencart installations on a shared server, each with it's own account and IP.
The same server serves both sites off different dedicated IPs, one for BestScientists.com and the other for BestCatholicPosters.com (it's a Midphase server).
BestScientists works, BestCatholicPosters doesn't.
Thinking I might have a corrupted file somewhere, I tried creating an absolutely fresh zencart installation on BCP, uploaded the information from the live BCP site and installed the SEO URI module.
When I did this, the test BCP site doesn't crash, it just silently fails to work.
I have the code in the correct .htaccess, the admin modules auto-generate the URI (I can see it in the database), but zencart never acknowledges that it exists.
So, I tried to get cute - I took the entire "includes" directory from the BestScientists Zencart and copied it on top of the BCP test zencart (minus configure.php, of course).
The test BCP still fails in exactly the same way - silently.
So, I figure the problem must be with the database.
I see three ceon tables, and I've looked at both structures - they both seem to be correct.
Are there any other tables I should look at?
It can't be server configuration, because it's the same server.
It can't be the includes directory, because that's identical too.
The .htaccess code is correct.
It's a puzzle, I tell ya'....
And I shouldn't even post this because now you'll be puzzled by it while you're on vacation.
Which is hardly fair.
But if I don't post it now, I may forget what I've done, so...
Click....

This is how it fails:
If I try to use the URI that is assigned, it kicks me back to the home page.
It keeps the assigned URI in the browser bar, but now I'm staring at the home page instead of the product page that's supposed to own that URI.
It does that no matter where I am in the site when I throw the auto-generated URI in the header - kicks back to home page, but keeps the URI in the browser bar.
If I hover over the product image or link on any page, I see the Zencurt URL in the lower left corner, not the CEO URI.
I can click and I'll go to the right product, but I never see the CEO link.
And, just for good measure, I also copied all the working admin files from BS to BCP, but it had zero effect (I didn't think that would make a difference, but it was worth trying).
I recently changed my directory on my website, and now the program is working in Admin. When I click through my site, when I go to the individual product page I get an 403 error. Does it have something to do with the / ? Just looking for some help before installing it over again. Cart 1.39h 4.02 ceon uri
Secondly, does having your admin file listed in the .htaccess file cause any security risk?
I installed the Ceon URI Mapping add-on to my site (www.bbetoysplus.com) today and according to the installation check at the end of the process, it installed perfectly with no problems. I added the rewrite rule to .htaccess and after completing the configuration steps, I began to manually update each of my existing categories individually so that they would begin using the static URIs. However, even after manually updating each category, the dynamic URIs are still being displayed in place of the static URIs. I cannot figure out why this is happening and would truly appreciate any advice/guidance anyone can provide towards solving this problem.
I am using ZenCart version 1.3.9h. In additiong the Ceon URI Mapping add-on, I also have Easy Populate v 1.2.5.4 and Image Handler 2 installed.
Did you turn it on under configure menu in admin?
I recently updated from 3.8 to 4.02 on 1.39d. everything went well, but I had a question about the htaccess rewrite rule. I have made a custom page names "shop" but is one of the rules it the htaccess. I simply deleted that entry and everything seems to work fine, but was there a reason the shop rule was put in there?
Hi,
After taking a look at your site I saw that the configuration options in the admin had not been created during installation.
This is very strange. It has happened to two of you here and I noticed it happen with 3 or 4 users of Ceon URI Mapping 3.x previously.
Yet there's no logical reason for this to ever happen, it's just a simple SQL insert command.
I was able to "fix" your installation by going to Modules -> Ceon URI Mapping (SEO) Config, appending ?check-config to the address (after .php), then refreshing the page.
The software then checked for the config option, found it missing and added it.
It added it using exactly the same method that was used in the attempt to add it when you first installed.
Why this "sometimes" fails and works other times is beyond me! Computers don't work randomly like that! So it must be a strange Zen Cart quirk. Hmm.
Nevertheless, that's things fixed for you now.
I may add this info as a FAQ in case this happens to others, although I really am at pains to understand why it happened in the first place!
All the best...
