yellow1912, you just resolved my problem.

The person who set up Zen Cart (my predecessor) had commented out the line...

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />

...in the html_header.php file. Do you know why he would have done that? He didn't leave any comments.

Anyway, thanks for your help. Now I can see how excellent your add on is. Very good work.

Not sure why, very bad practice indeed. I cant think of a reason to comment it out (yet)

Hi there, I used this addon on a zencart I made back in March. It works perfectly and it's an absolutely fantastic mod (thanks yellow).

I want to design another zencart based on the one I made in March so I downloaded it from the server, copied the database etc etc uploaded it to my local machine and the home page appears in my localhost fine but when I click a link it comes up with a 404 not found. I'm assuming it's this mod that is the problem and it presumably has something to do with the htaccess, so I ran the ssu_check.php and changed the htaccess according to what that said.

That didn't work - still got the 404, so I thought since the database and the website are exactly the same as the working one online then maybe the apache rewrite mod isn't on since it's a new installation of apache I was using. But it's turned on by htaccess and i turned it on in the apache conf file too.

So then I removed all the files associated with ssu and tried to uninstall the mod according to http://wiki.rubikintegration.com/zen...uninstallation. I then downloaded a new copy of the mod and tried to reinstall it. But the bits where you have to install the patches by visiting admin→extras→ssu manager etc just gave errors about tables existing and so forth.

So basically before I go through all this again, because i'm sure it's just something simple I'm missing since it works fine online, can anyone suggest anything that might be the problem?

thanks

Hi I am having trouble with modifying some of the aliases in the alias manager.

For example
http://www.highburyeye.co.nz/sunglasses-c-9/

I would prefer to display as
http://www.highburyeye.co.nz/sunglasses

I have added an alias for the url /sunglasses-c-9/ to equal /sunglasses/

But this dosnt seem to work?

Have also tried editing existing alisas and the visible displayed url dosnt change.

I have tried resetting the cache, but my cache never has any files in it, ever. Not sure if cache is working how it is meant to. Cache dirs are all there set to 777, but never seen any files in the dirs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

As for alias, did you turn alias on via admin-configuration-ssu setings?

Any help would be appreciated.

First, I would suggest you make sure to check cache folder permission again, and also check if the path to your cache folder is correct in includes/configure.php and your-admin/includes/configure.php

Also, you have not edit the html_output.php file as instructed in the installation note.

[tone2]

Thanks it was the path to the cache that was wrong in configure.php files.

Seems to be working just fine now!

Thanks for your help.

Hi, you installed this mod for me a while ago but since then I have gone from a shared SSL to a dedicated one and it is causing problems. Can you tell me how to fix it?

If it has been a while, first I suggest upgrading the module (this is optional, not a must)

But to solve it, it is easy:
You need to go you yoursite.com/ssu_check.php (if you deleted it, download the newest version and upload only that file to your site). Visit that file via your browser and you will see the suggested htaccess for your site, then edit your .htaccess file accordingly
