Can you explain what's happening?

Can you explain what's happening?

Sure. There is more info at post #2511 up top.

It looks like the install went ok, but when I go into Extras>SSU, and change the Alias Functions it does not change the crap URL to the new one?

I put the whole URL in www.site.com/jlkasduf7adyp& and changed it to www.site.com/brochures/ and it does nothing. I only have one category and product set up right now for testing. Maybe it has something to do with that? http://cleveland-print.com/

Thanks

You can not put the whole url in, it just doesnt work like that. Did you check this:
http://public.rubikintegration.com/t.../ssu_alias.htm

The manager has been changed, but the whole process remains the same.

Hi there Yellow1912 and others.

First off, cheers for this mod, I've been using a version of it on my live shop for a few months now and it's been working great.

However, I'm now trying to set up a new shop on my local machine and I've been having a few issues. First off I followed the instructions and transferred the files to my zencart - using the htaccess file and remembering to change the RewriteBase to /babyclothes/ (where my store is obviously). That resulted in a 500 error which, after hoking through this thread I found was because my xampplite doesn't have mod_rewrite turned on by default, so I followed http://rudyegenias.wordpress.com/200...rite-in-xampp/ to turn it on.

Now the problem when I try to access my admin I get:

0 DB_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED
in:
[select * from project_version WHERE project_version_key = 'Zen-Cart Database' ]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I've searched but can't find out what I'm doing wrong. I don't remember having any problems at all the last time I installed on a live site and I'm sure it's something stupid (I am indeed stupid) but any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been messing around with this for hours.


heres my htaccess

#### 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 /babyclothes/

# 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

And my configure.php

I can assure you this error has nothing to do with SSU. Perhaps during the process to turn on mod_rewrite you have somehow made mysql server unable to run.

Try to restart it, can you access it normally via phpmyadmin? If yes, check and see if the db login info in includes/configure.php is correct.

Hey Yellow. Didn't know if my message was lost in the shuffle here. But I am using 3.6.1.

Hi Yellow, thanks for the quick response

I can't access phpMyAdmin now so it must be something to do with the mess I've made httpd.conf file. God! I wish I'd made a copy of it now.

It's the only thing I made changes to and I've changed everything back but it still doesn't work. If I get a brand new one from somewhere is it likely to work or am I probably barking up the wrong tree?

Really appreciate your time by the way. You're a saint!

I had this excellent add on working perfectly and then we suffered some issues (completely unrelated to this) which were causing problems with 301 redirects (long story).
Anyhow, to eliminate all possibilities I decided to uninstall Simple SEO urls following the instructions to the letter to go back to the base urls to help track the problem down.
Having sorted that I tried to reinstall Simple SEO URLs and hit this problem when doing 2. Visit admin→extras→ssu manager (you should see notice saying that the database patches have been applied)

I forgot to add that I had 3.6.4 (i think) installed and reinstalled 3.6.6.
