Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[starruby]

Well whichever link I click on my site, it shows up the following error:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.7a mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.5 Server at www.gemsoul.com Port 80

I installed v3.3.9

Pls help!!

Well, in the .htaccess file I changed:

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

to

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

It solved the Server Error but still the links show the old urls and not the new seo urls.

SSU has a switch needed to be turned on in admin, which is off by default (for a good reason)
Go to configuration->ssu settings to turn it on


For more info, here is the installation note:

I installed ssu after reading the installation note... I have already turned it on. The problem is that when you click on the links of categories / products, they redirect to the renamed urls but the links on all pages still show the old urls.

This happens when you hardcode your urls. You have to use the function zen_href_link to build the links.

A link to the sample page will also help me to understand what you mean.

http://www.gemsoul.com

For example, when you hover over any link (say "Ruby" under the Categories sidebox), the link is http://www.gemsoul.com/index.php?mai...index&cPath=37

but when you click on that link, it redirects to http://www.gemsoul.com/ruby-c-37

I am unable to understand how to change the link to http://www.gemsoul.com/ruby-c-37

I hope I am not confusing you !!

I suspect you have not edited/overwrriten the html_output.php as instructed.

Hi Yellow I have a question for you. I'm trying to redirect my site to a non-www site like http://thegoodshepherdstore.com
I'm still using simple seo 2.8
mprough has been trying to help me out but when I did what she said now I have messed up the URLS. Would you be so kind to look at my site to see whats going on. This is what my htaccess looks like after she had me add some code. First she had me add this code to the admin htaccess

RewriteEngine off

This is what my root htaccess Looks like

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.thegoodshepherdstore.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php?$ http://thegoodshepherdstore.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# 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
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

Now when you go to a product you see this for example
http://thegoodshepherdstore.com/spor...bd725m7urb3r63 Thank you for your help in advance.

Never mind I think that was for someone who needs redirecting if The problem is with duplicate content in your site. I have not had that problem yet so I just put my htaccess file back the way it was and my problem went away. This is a good thread if you have that problem.
