Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[Rizla]

Iv'e just had another reply:

I found the source of the 500 error - you created a folder with a space: /Source PNGs/

Most code does not like spaces in folder names (or file names). You will either need to rename the folder (best option, will make the foldername much easier to handle) or check with CEON if there's a way to handle the foldername with the space.

But even if that rewrite condition is removed, the links in the site still don't work, just results in 404 not found errors.

I recommend to discuss with CEON - this is not a server issue, but a problem with the .htaccess code/ rewrite code which they need to look into.

For any newcomers to this mod and reading my last post PLEASE NOTE: This mod works as described... It is ONLY a problem with MY site.

Apologies as I posted the last in haste due to other commitments.

[Congerman]

It also is a problem on my site.

Have you fixed it? If so can you tell me how you did it please?

[Rizla]

No.. not fixed as yet.
At present I'm using the OLD settings in .htaccess (from v3) which Conor set up for me. The site still functions on this file BUT if I add one line from the 'auto' generated list then it bums out and gives a 404.

I cured the 500 which was due to some directories (naming error) so check yours....

But the paths are still giving the 404

Stuck! But hope this helps.... Try your old .htaccess but I 'aint no expert (at all)

Thanks for the info

My htaccess has 31 lines of redirects already in it as I have redesigned and moved my site to a sub folder

It seems that the mod written htaccess may not work with other content

Bit of a annoyance but hey ho. Please let me know if you manage to fix it.

I will post here if I get it sorted

[Rizla]

I will & thanks

Hi,

It seems that the mod written htaccess may not work with other content

I am off sick at the minute and probably won't be online again for a few days. However, it is true that Ceon URI Mapping can have a problem generating a working rewrite rule when a site has folders in it which have spaces in their name.

Either comment out/remove the RewriteCond lines which are for folders with spaces in their names or remove those folders in the first place and generate a rewrite rule again.

Obviously spaces are not valid characters for folder names on the internet and the software wasn't built to cope with them.

It seems that the mod written htaccess may not work with other content

The example rewrite rule is exactly that.. the code needed to get Ceon URI Mapping working, with the minimum of inerference with other sofware. However, sites often do have some custom rues and you may need to adjust them appropriately to work with Ceon URI Mapping and/or vice versa!

Send me your FTP and admin details privately via this link and I'll take a look when I'm back in front of a computer.

All the best...

Hi,

BUT if I add one line from the 'auto' generated list then it bums out and gives a 404.

The auto-generated rule should always work if there are no clashes with other lines in a .htaccess filke or spaces in dir names. Please send FTP and admin detais to the above link and I'll take a look to see what's up with your server/rules.

Certainly the comments passed to you about [NC] and [OR] were pwrong and not anythning to do with the example rule.

All the best...
