Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[Mike_Dean]

Is this on the same server with your test site? Do you have a link? I need more info to be able to know what the problem is? Also post your htaccess here.

The test site is on my local PC.. the Server is i the US....

Thisis the .htaccess I'm using

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

# 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]

Your htaccess is not up-to-date

#### 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 /zencart/

# 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

Also, RewriteBase has nothing to do with absolute path, if your site is located at: yoursite.com/shop the the base needs to be:

RewriteBase /shop/

#### BOF SSU

# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /zencart/

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

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

Ok we have progress..! Thanks..!! Everything apperas to be ok on the site, will look at admin as see what goes there..

htaccess now reads

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: 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]



Prior to SSU, I had an existing .htaccess file which had this (for my 301 re-directions


RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^nortsandones.com.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.nortsandones.com.au$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.nortsandones.com.au/index.php?main_page= [R=301,L]


I tried to include this in with the SSU .htacess but I cant get past the pain page without gettng an error

[yellow1912]

The htaccess content you posted is still not exactly what we have in the current version, while it may work it may cause us problem if you run into some error later and we dont know what causes it.

This is out of ver 234

If it's not right... please tell me whats wrong with it.?


Also, how do I now mod it to include my 301 redirections ?

[yellow1912]

Mike, in your previous post you have:

 Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: 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]

Which is why I said it's not exactly the same.

As for this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^nortsandones.com.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.nortsandones.com.au$
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://www.nortsandones.com.au/index.php?main_page= [R=301,L]

Are you trying to redirect to www?

Regards

Hi,

Yes I saw the error in the previous one, so I posted you the new one just to confirm it was now right..?

Yes, I am trying to redirect to www

[yellow1912]

Put this right after rewrite engine on, see what happens

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

Make sure that if you chose to use www, you have to set so in your includes/configure.php as well
