Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[yellow1912]

Hi! Wondering if you can help me with the ssu installation. I used this before and it worked very well when I was using my own webserver. Now I switched to a free hosting called 000hosted because my internet connection problem. I did a fresh install of zencart with their fantasio installer. I can't get ssu to work now. Anytime I click on simple seo url manager, it gives me a blank page and nothing more. I am wondering what was wrong.

The host does claim they support curl, although when I tried to install zencart manually, it gives me an error of no curl. So, I don't know whether that's something causing the problem. Not sure at all. Could you please help?

My site is http://sushishop.co.cc/sushi/

Thanks a lot for the help!

More than likely your host is using php5

So, is there anyway to work around it? Please help! Thanks a million!

In fact it is 1.3.8, sorry . I have turned ssu on again for some time.

OK, I found a solution: I had to add "products_id" to Set Query Key's Exclude List. Now it works :) Have you any idea, why it was broken?

Because it should not be there at all :)

You will have to check if your host supports php5, and if so how to switch to it. BTW, I dont think running a store on a free server is a good idea.

Hi,

First off - thanks for all the hard work you have put into this great add on. It's a brilliant bit of work.

I've installed Simple SEO URL and everything works perfectly. The trouble starts when I use my control panel to password protect my admin folder.

When I have password protection set up and try to log into my admin page I get a Page Not Found message.

If I don't have password protection set up on my admin folder then I can log in without any problems.

I contact my host initially and they looked into it and advised that the following lines from the Simple SEO .htaccess file are causing the problem:-

Theres a rewrite rule causing this in your root/.htaccess file. When I comment out the following lines the password box appears:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

I've re enabled them for now.

Does anyone have any ideas if there is anything else I can do. From my hosts reply it's either use Simple SEO or password protected admin but not at the same time.

It seems strange because I have used Simple SEO and password protected folders in the past with no problems.

I'm using:-

Zen Cart 1.38a
Simple SEO 3.6.7

Thanks for reading this post.

Dont comment those lines out like what your host suggested, but instead add in admin/.htaccess:

RewriteEngine Off

Here is what I have loaded.
Zencart 1.3.8a loaded.
SSU 3.6.7.
sitemapXML 2.1
google base froogle 1.7.1a

When I turn on "Set Auto Alias Status" and "Set Auto Alias Status", sitemapXML and google base froogle stop working. When I try to run step 1 in sitemapXML or try to create a feed, the pop up window comes up. The blank window looks like it runs for awhile then it stops. If I turn "Set Auto Alias Status" and "Set Auto Alias Status" off, sitemapXML and google base froogle starts to work again. I really like how the url looks like with the alias on. Why do they stop working with alias on?

I have a website with sitemap on and it works just fine

If you have your ssu upgraded from an older version, i suggest running the cache fix link in the manager
