Ceon URI Mapping v4.x

[lagcher.r]

I just realized, my current web host does not use cpanel. The host I used in the past had cpanel.(hostgator).
No other option now than to contact webhost support again, or do you have any other ideas?
Hate webhost support because 9 out of 10 times they couldn't help me and I had to figure out problems myself.

If you intend to run eCommerce then a critical part of your business operation is a proper, reliable and knowledgeable host. It seems like you have gone with a "cheap and nasty" crowd in an effort to save yourself a couple of dollars. In fact, you have gone down a very expensive road... How long have you been spending on this problem of add-on domains? Setting up two or three add-on domains will take no more than four minutes if you are hosting with a good host. By now, you could have had three or four eCommerce sites set up and working well. Instead, you have made no progress at all.

You have puzzled over this for several DAYS, and you are no closer to resolving your issue.

Do yourself a big favour... spend a dollar or two more, and get with a good host.

As lhungil has said, you need to set up ADD-ON DOMAINS on your hosting account. In order to do this, the domain(s) you intend to ADD have to be registered domains and must be resolvable.

SOME hosts do not permit ADD-ON domains, and some do.

You should speak to your host about this, and if you can add more domains to your hosting space, then do this the proper way through C-Panel.

If you do not know how to do it, then provide the additional domain names to your host, and ask them to set up the ADD-ON domains for you.#

It takes less than a minute to configure an ADD-ON domain, so don't let them tell you it is a complex and expensive job. It isn't.

No problem, and make sure the document root folders are not nested. They should look something like:

/username/ --+
             |
             +--public_html/
             |
             +--domain2/public_html/
             |
             +--domain3/public_html/

Are you able to configure add-on domains by yourself? Or do you rely on "support" which looks like it takes some time to respond.

A GOOD host will permit their users significant levels of server management - particularly when eCommerce is involved.

Again... you need a host that HELPS you run your business. If this one is not up to being your "partner", then go find one that is. It matters not if they came "highly recommended"... if you cannot get the level of management and service you require, they are a hindrance to your business.

nods in agreement with ALL of this!!!

This is a respectable and well known host in the netherlands. I did not choose this webhosting because it was"cheap" I chose it because it had been recommended by many statisfied users. The only thing is their support that could be better.

I have to agree with EVERYTHING lhungil and schoolboy have said.. and wanted to only add this.. You said a MOUTHFUL when you said "The only thing is their support that could be better"

That my friend is your CLUE/HINT/BURNING BUSH, what have you that you NEED a new host for your website.. Schoolboy is right.. All the time you spent trying to figure this out, could have been avoided with the RIGHT hosting company.. You need one that is a HELP not a hindrance to your site and schoolboy rightly pointed out..

Following lhungil's example, I thought that it would be good to add this post to this support thread..

On another note:
This thread's purpose is to support "Ceon URI Mapping". It provides a place for people new to the module as well as experienced users of the module to interact and help each other install, upgrade, and use this module. It also provides a place for people to report any potential bugs they may have found (as well as fixes).

I would ask everyone who reads (or posts) to this thread keep the above stated purpose of this thread in mind. Kindly keep the posts in this thread relevant to the above stated purpose. I encourage people to discuss other topics, but please discuss them in a different thread in a relevant section of the forums.

For those asking for help: keep in mind the people on the Zen Cart forums are not here 24x7 and for the most part give freely of their personal time to help. It may take a couple days for someone to read your message. So be patient when asking for help. I would also re-iterate reading the "Posting Tips" (scroll up when posting / replying) is a good idea. Answering the questions found in the "Posting Tips" will help save time and helps give those reading your post a better picture of what might be causing the problem you are experiencing.

Thank You

I'm trying to determine what code should be placed in the .httaccess file to prevent certain URI's containing certain character strings from rewriting.

The code I have is for character string x45poty:

# Don't rewrite URI if contains "x45poty" string 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/*x45poty* [NC]


This doesn't work.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone had issues with CEON not playing well with Captcha? The Captcha field does not appear on the contact or create account page when the URI is set. I changed the URI for the contact page to /index.phpmain_pagecontact_us and the Captcha now appears. But, the login page does not show the Captcha and then errors out when a new account is created, showing that Captcha was not entered. I tried changing the URI mapping on both the login and create account pages with no luck. So, I had to disable Captcha on create account.

Did you try a thread search to search this thread for CAPTCHA? If this has been an reported issue you ahould find the info that way..
