Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Page not found = your htaccess is not working:
1. maybe you havent uploaded it or change the setting inside?
2. or maybe your server doesnt have mod_rewrite enabled?

Well, first of all the link you posted is not complete so I cant follow, but I guess it's one of the buy now link, which leads to the second:

I dont know you you created your sitemap but if you used one of the modules available for zen (and you should use them), there there is no way you can have a link with the buy_now in there. That link should never be included in the sitemap in the first place.

I Just clicked on that link in my post and it took me to Your Shopping Cart Contents, the same as is it did when I clicked on it in Google's error pages. The site map was created from a Google xml site map generator. I also have another site that was create from the same site map generator that doesn't have any errors, it also don't have the simple seo url. I think I fixed the problem with the shopping cart the first url in the sitemap was shopping cart html. I edited and remove it. This is the site map link. www.currysgiftshop.com/sitemap.xml it may be ok since i remove the shopping cart url. Now where did the 44 not found 404 urls come form. Here a few listed.

Well, you give too little info for me to investigate

Assuming you are using SSU 3.6.6. I need to know the module you are using to create the xml sitemap, the version you use.

You will also have to provide me a link to the sitemap which has the problem so I can have a look at the links generated.

I have mod rewrite enabled, i'll check the .htaccess file, what settings need to be changed? i apologize for the basic questions, but i've had some difficulty finding or navigating any documentation that might have been included and so turned to actual users for help on what looks like (if i get it to work) a perfect solution to my problem

All new versions of ssu come with a file called ssu_check.php which if uploaded correctly can be accessed at yoursite.com/ssu_check.php. This file will give you the correct content of the htaccess file.

you know, i realized that mysite.com/ssu_check.php does not work, however, mysite.com/shop/ssu_check.php DOES work, so is this an installation problem on my end, or a configuration problem?

No it is correct. I should have mentioned that the link should include the sub folder your store is located if any

My bad

[kwirl]

damn would have been nice if the problem was so easy - well, that being said,

Warning Checking includes/configure.php
Warning Suggested .htaccess content

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

#### EOF SSU

is what i get, i can't seem to find anything staring at me that is blatantly culpable, my own inexperience nonwithstanding

If these links are limited to the sidebox links only, I suggest you look there and check how those links are beinge generated.

Hi,

figured it out at. I did some changes to a config file from the Wordpress on Zencart and it worked. The URL is not perfect but at least, I can use your program and not have any issues with the Wordpress part of it.

Thanks again for all your help the last couple of days!!

[yellow1912]

this is the part that should be in your htaccess:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /shop/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

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

#### EOF SSU

This file .htaccess should be located under your shop folder.

Then, if mod_rewrite is working correctly, you should not get 404 error. You may get other error, but you can not get this specific error.
