Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[securit]

I have two questions that I am hoping to find an answer for.

Firstly I have SimpleSEO (it comes up as BETA 3.7.1 in the module manager) installed and running on Zen Cart 1.3.8a patch 1, and am reasonably happy that it is creating URLs with nice names.... however.... my search engine rankings are terrible and not a single page has been indexed by google. The shop I am working on has 87 pages according to the latest sitemap which does work ok and has been up and running now for two months so I would expect it to start appearing in Google after spending many hours working on inbound links, adwords and the like.

I see on Googles Webmaster tools that google is crawling my pages one page per currency. ie
http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-galle...ncy=USD&sort=0
http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-galle...ncy=GBP&sort=0
both of which point to the same page http://www.xyz.com/bitsnpieces-gallery which is also in googles cache.

Is this normal? I've read a lot up on the Google pages and it says that Google doesnt appreciate duplicate content. Surely this is duplicate content and hence undesireable for my SEO?

Secondly I have found that my cache/ssu directories are massive ....46.04 MB for only 87 pages of content. Is this normal? I mean, my Cache is larger than my entire product database! 29.74MB is in the /ssu/pc directory and 15.93 in ssu/aliases!

Thanks in advance

Clear all cache files (ssu cache), and also post the content of your current includes/configure.php here without the password part please

Cleared the cache... It seems to be a systemic problem, all of the sites on my server that use zencart have this same issue. Before I moved the accounts, everything worked.

Here's the configure.php:

<?php

/*************** NOTE: This file is similar, but DIFFERENT from the "admin" version of configure.php. ***********/
/*************** The 2 files should be kept separate and not used to overwrite each other. ***********/

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://info-juego.es');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://info-juego.es');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/infoes/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');
define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);

define('DB_DATABASE', '&&&&&&&&&&&&&&');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
// for STORE_SESSIONS, use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

// The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
// For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from: none, database, or file
// If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache
// or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
// ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache -- leave no trailing slash
define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/infoes/public_html/cache');

// EOF

Thanks.

Everythings work's fine exept when I tryed to log in
admin > extras > simple seo url manager, where I'v got the following error:

1062 Duplicate entry '/fetish/' for key 3
in:
[ALTER TABLE links_aliases ADD UNIQUE (link_alias);]
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. 

Have you got some suggestions?


Thank' a lot!

Are you sure it's 3.5.8, when did you get it ? It's a bit old. Please let me know if redownloading still doesnot solve it for you, I will send you a package

Pre-Installation questions:

I was using CEON URI Manager, but unfortunately it's not letting a vital script used to upload and update products work!

So I decided to switch to Simple SEO, but first I want to know if after completely removing the URI module, it will work fine, and what steps are necessary in order to start clean.

I also read at the wiki, if I use php 4, I need another version, then where can I download it?

[Jeet Kune Do]

I downloaded from this site a few days ago.

http://eazyecommerce.com/web-templates/zen-cart/modules/simple-seo-url 

In the readme is writed that the last version is not always aviable in the addon section.

Ok. I will upload a version from zen cart addons section.


I will be back.

[Jeet Kune Do]

I had the version 3.5.8 before, but my cache won't delete, only loading and loading and loading!

Today, I downloaded and upploaded the version 3.5.8

Now it work's!

Thank's a lot!


So the moral of the story is to download it from the addons.



I apprecciate your work yellow 1912
