Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

[SCkatlyns]

I changed the // to /, and still get the 404 Not Found.

Here is what it generated in my test server:
http://www.suncoastjewelers.railspla...ld/product-041

Hi Kat,

I changed the // to /, and still get the 404 Not Found.

Either your .htaccess file isn't actually being loaded or there is a problem with your rewrite rule.

Check with your host if htaccess files are supported on your site!

All the best..

Hi Conor,

Yes, they are supported.

Here is what I have. I commented it all out trying to debug it.

# $Id: .htaccess 1105 2005-04-04 22:05:35Z birdbrain $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
# The following blocks direct HTTP requests in this directory recursively
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Limit' to the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
#<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
# AllowOverride Limit
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in your apache/conf/httpd.conf file)
#
# This does not affect PHP include/require functions
#
# Example: http://server/catalog/includes/application_top.php will not work

# <Files *.php>
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# </Files>
# RewriteEngine On
# Don't rewrite mynewsite's directory
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/suncoastjewelers.railsplayground.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/Jf7dSh8J3v.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors.* [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel.* [NC]
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend.* [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
# RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

Can you see what the problem is?

Thanks so much!
Kat

Hi,

# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
# RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxx])
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]

You shouldn't have RewriteCond[ition]s after the RewriteRule.

Apart from that I don't know what the problem would be.

All the best...

Hi Conor,

OK, how does this look? I've uncommented what I think should be used. I'm not sure about any of the other things there.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(html|htm|php)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /index.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Thanks,

Hi Conor,

I tried it and got it to work!!

Just one issue. When I apply it to the EZ pages, it doesn't change in the site.
Example:
http://www.suncoastjewelers.railspla...age=contact_us is still coming up.

Any tips?

Thanks so much,
Kat

Hi,

I tried it and got it to work!!

I'm glad to hear that!

Just one issue. When I apply it to the EZ pages, it doesn't change in the site.

That's not an EZ-Page you sent me a link to but a "define" page.. you can add a mapping for it by manually editing the database using software like PHPMyAdmin.. the instructions for this are int the documentation under "Other Zen Cart Pages".

All the best...
