Ultimate SEO v3 (and v2.200) [Support Thread]

[shags38]

Hello, I'm trying to install Ultimate SEO URL on Zencart 1.5.5e and PHP 5.6

Is this possible? In my case:

1) I couldn't use the recommended method "Plugin Manager" as I couldn't find where to download it.
I searched hard. Where do you get "Plugin Manager" from?

2) I couldn't use the alternate manual method either as I get this error:

"An error occurred while replacing / updating content in '/<base_dir>/myshop/<admin_dir>/categories.php'. Backtrack Limit exceeded. This usually indicates an overly conservative pcre.backtrack_limit configured on your server (or restricted by mod_security). Either change the setting or manually merge the required changes."

pcre.backtrack_limit is set to one million
my provider won't change the settings of mod_security

3) the last resort method (compare/merge) it's quite impractical (meaning too difficult for me) as the files provided with Ultimate SEO URL are for zencart 1.5.4 while I have 1.5.5e

Could somebody either:
- tell me where to get "Plugin Manager"
- tell me a trick to bypass mod_security restrictions
- send a 1.5.5e version of the files to modify so I can manage to compare and find the relevant differences?

By the way is lhungil still working on this project?

EDIT ... after posting I saw the other responses which may have better answers but will leave this here in case it is useful

I have this plugin working fine on 1.5.5f - I am not suggesting this will fix your issue however for mod_security issues I contacted my host and asked them to correct any mod_security issues - my .htaccess file now has the following entry inserted by my host - maybe try this and see if it works for you. You could also do a Google search for mod_security issues and you may find other code to use on your .htaccess

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

cheers,
Mike

p.s. in case you are not familiar with modifying the .htaccess file: to find your .htaccess file go to cPanel >> file manager >> public html >> click on .htaccess file and select download on the tool bar across the top. Open the file in edit with notepad or something similar >> insert that code (I don't think it matters where but close to the top is good, I think) >> save and then go to file manager and select 'upload' from the tool bar and follow the prompts >>> the file will load without the 'dot', so just as htaccess and not as .htaccess >>> this is CRITICAL >> click on your existing .htaccess file >> click 'rename' on the toolbar above >> rename that file as .htaccess_old >> then rename the new file by putting the dot in front of it.
You now have the modified file as the active file and the unmodified file is saved as a safeguard in case you need to reinstate it (using the rename process)
