Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Alrite, as this may help others, I will try to go through each problem I encountered while helping jill8026 to resolve his problem:

1. You need module-manager for this mod:
http://code.google.com/p/zencart-mod...downloads/list
Troubleshooting: http://code.google.com/p/zencart-mod...i/Installation

2. No input file specified.
This seems to be a specific problem because of the way GoDaddy configured their server, it may happen on other hosts that use php on cgi as well.

Seems like a number of fixes needed to be applied when you encounter this problem:
i. Use the .htaccess below:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /test_site/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

ii. Create a file call php.ini in your ZC root folder with the content:

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1

If you are using php5, change that to php5.ini

iii. Open includes/init_includes/init_ssu.php and find this line:

function parse_url(){    
        global $request_type; 

Add below:

foreach($_GET as $key=>$value)
            if(strstr($key,'/') || strstr($value,'/')) unset($_GET[$key]); 

That's it for now, I will try to find a better way to get around this problem.

SSU rev 229 released

Thanks so much for providing this explanation. It has gotten me so much further than I was when starting this install. Things seem to be coming together now, I've followed all of the steps you mentioned for people hosting w/ GoDaddy however I seem to be having problems with specific categories and pages.

For example if you go to my site:
http://www.sunshinecampingsupplies.com/

You will notice that the "Tents" category works great, however "Camping Chairs" just displays a blank page. I notice that this only seems to occur on Categories with 1 item in them.

Also if you go to Tents and order a Coleman Test Tent it takes you to a blank page with the URL /coleman-test-tent-p-13/action/add_product

I read something about Going to Extras > SSU Manager and delete my cache. I tried that and it works great for "all cache"and "category cache" but for the rest I get the message "cache/ssu folder is not writable Could not open dir". I've confirmed that all folders in the cache dir are set to 777. When I browse those folders I see that there are files in the cache/categories directory, but there aren't any in the cache/pages directory.

I'm using the .htaccess file you mentioned in that post about godaddy. here is what i'm using:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

Anything you could do to point me in the right direction would sure be appreciated because I'm out of ideas here.

Thanks so much,

Tom

For a faster fix, I sent you a pm to see if I can access your site. Im very interested to see why we have such problem with GoDaddy as well.
