Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

I'm backing out right now because the whole site is acting wonky... I must have done something wrong...

A more detailed description of the problem will help me to to analyze and suggest the best action for you.

Hello,
I am using zencart 1.3.8a and simple SEO URL 3.5.1. Now URLs are friendly, but it always shows the homepage only.
No matter which category or product I click on. The url shows the respective category of product. But the page it displays is the main page only.

Please let me know what I should be doing?

I suspect you have not changed your htaccess as instructed in readme file

Also, please upgrade to 3.5.8

to be more clear

http://www.salevalley.com/
http://www.salevalley.com/aerobic-accessories-c-69
http://www.salevalley.com/elliptical-machines-c-68
http://www.salevalley.com/elliptical...otrainer-p-199

all displays the main page content only. not the respective product page.

You have NOT turned on SSU :)

So far 99% of the users who have any problem are those who fail to read the installation instruction. 1% actually encounter real bugs which are fixed as soon as they are reported.

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked the .htpaccess it looks ok to me.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^salevalley.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.salevalley.com$
RewriteRule ^shop/?$ "http\:\/\/salevalley\.com" [R=301,L]

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Change "/zencart/ to the correct setting
# if your site is located at root folder, then you should have RewriteBase /
# Go to your include/configure.php, this value should be the same with the value of DIR_WS_CATALOG
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

Now I turned on the SSU.

Now I turned on the SSU.

If you are using 3.5.1 like you said, the first thing would be to upgrade to 3.5.8, many bugs have been fixed in the process, you can view the log here:
http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen.../ssu/changelog

After that, if it sill doesnt work, try this

Temporarily comment out:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^salevalley.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.salevalley.com$
RewriteRule ^shop/?$ "http\:\/\/salevalley\.com" [R=301,L]

This may interfere with ssu (obviously if commenting it out does make things work, then we will try to see how to put it in again without breaking things)

Hi yellow1912,
Thanks for your time. I am sure you are doing a great service to the whole community.

I checked through the installation instructions before posting. Sure I must be missing something. I do not think it is a bug in the SSU. But I should be doing something wrong somewhere. Which I could not figure out. That is the reason I am asking for the help.

[srigari]

Thanks. I will upgrade immediately.

Thank you very much.
