Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Just installed SSU and get the following error when try to turn on from admin>tools

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STATIC, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/zencryst/public_html/MysticLady11801/includes/classes/ssu.php on line 12 

Also, my store front has disappeared!

running zencart version Zen Cart 1.3.8a

Please help...

Your site is running php4, SSU does not support PHP4, it requires php 5. The fastest way to fix it for you now, is to go into includes/auto_loaders folders and remove any files SSU added (just compare with the same folder from SSU package)

I followed the instructions to the letter, turned on the Simple SEO Url module and everything works perfectly the first time around. I love when that happens. :)

I'm very impressed with this module. Thank you very much!!

BTW, the link to the Manual/instructions isn't quite right.
I did find everything ok by hunting around, but the links to the docs needs to be revised to this:

Please bear with me and I'll try and provide as much info as possible to hopefully help someone troubleshoot this install for me...

I found out I am running PHP 5.2.8 so I modified my .htaccess file by just copying and pasting the contents of the .htaccess included with this mod to the end of my original one. Don't know if this was correct since I know nothing about .htaccess files but here's what my .htaccess file looks like now...

# Use PHP5 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php


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

This is what now shows up in admin>extras now when I click on Simple SEO URL manager...

 Instruction SSU caches your categories/products names and links in order to reduce the number of sql queries and minimize the performance penalty on your server. That has its drawback, however. If you change your categories/products names, you will need to reset the cache to force SSU reload and update the names.
Cache Functions Reset all cache: Click here
Reset alias cache: Click here
Reset only products cache: Click here
Reset only categories cache: Click here
Reset only pages cache: Click here
Alias Functions Manage Aliases: Click here 

When I set SSU Status to TRUE In admin>config I get the following error in my store front when a link is clicked

Internal Server Error

I'm running zencart version 1.3.8a and PHP 5.2.8

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated

[yellow1912]

You did not change
RewriteBase /zencart/

If you are running on root folder, change to
RewriteBase /

[Craft Magick]

You did not change
RewriteBase /zencart/

If you are running on root folder, change to
RewriteBase /

Did it and its working

Thank you very, very much for your patience and help, yellowrose. I really appreciate it.

Quick question... is there a reason we do not want an .html or .php extension on the URL's? Just curious...



Zencart ROCKS

Well, if you think about it, you want to have a nice, short, precise link (give the user enough info, no more no less)
What good will adding the .html or .php will do to your link? Will it help users in any way? Will it help search engine in any way?

If not, then why should you do so?

Okay, I'm adding this mod to my second website now, which is a sub-domain of zencrystals.com

To hopefully avoid a lot of headaches and save time I'd like to be sure I'm changing the right things in the configure.php files

Here's what I'm reading in the installation instructions

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com/subfolder');
 
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com/~username/subfolder');

This may work in the normal ZC setting, but it will cause SSU to malfunction. You need to set like this:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com');
 
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com');
 
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/subfolder/');
 
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~username/subfolder/');

So basically, the http ones should contain only the domain name, no sub folders at all. 

And here is what is currently in my configure.php file

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.craftmagick.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.zencrystals.com/craftmagick');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/zencryst/public_html/craftmagick/cache'); 

My questions is... would
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com');
be

https://zencrystals.com

or

https://craftmagick.com

or

https://zencrystals.craftmagick.com


ALSO...

do I just leave
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
as it is since it currently matches what is in my config.php file now?


ALSO....

in the .htaccess file would it be set to
REWRITE / craftmagick


I would just like to be sure before altering config.php files...

Thanks

Changed configure.php as noted above

Getting 500 server error as follows when clicking any link in the store

Here's a copy of my .htaccess file

#### BOF SSU

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

could I have done something wrong in .htaccess??
