Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

THanks for the quick reply.

So I gather that the VirtualHost directive is not an htaccess file??

I have never used Apache to do anything with my site.
I will consider moving my site but until then I am keen to try and work this out.

Is VirtualHost part of Apache to your knowledge and how do I access it.

Sorry to be so dense!

Cheers

Hi,

No, it is the bit of code in your Apache .conf file(s) which sets up the hosting settings for a site.

To change the contents of a VirtualHost directive you have to edit the .conf file for Apache. You have two options.. you can either edit that file and enable .htaccess support in it or you can edit it and add the rewrite rule directly in your site's VirtualHost directive.

I realise that you are just learning and am glad to see your enthusiasm for trying things out yourself but I hope you can understand that I can't provide you with any further support on this issue as this thread is about getting the URI Mapping module to work and it isn't appropriate to teach the workings of the Apache webserver here.

If you're still having problems then please search the internet for a guide to Apache or start a new thread with some specific questions on configuring Apache and hopefully you'll get the information you need!

(Or, as I said, simply move hosts if your hoset doesn't let you configure Apache as desired).

All the best..

Thanks for the quick reply Conor.

I am thinking of moving hosts but cant do it right away.

So I gather that htaccess files are different to VirtualHost.

Are able to put me in in the right direction as to How to edit this and re-write it?? I have never used Apache so am not sure what to do or where to start.

Also do I need to change every htaccess file or just the one in the root folder?

Thanks so much

Sorry about the double up !!!!! Cancel that one

Hi,

If you can access it, just the one in the root folder. Its "directives" will then apply for all subdirectories.

All the best..

I am getting some pages indexed twice, one with just the mapped URL and then the other is the same URL but with stuff like "?&page=1&sort=2d" at the end? This was brought to my attention from google webmaster tools. Also getting some duplicate meta titles and description but not sure if that is related to this module.

They are sorting/paging parameters added by Zen Carrt. They are necessary and cannot be avoided. You have to just ignore the fact that they are used. Search engines know that sites use multiple pages and should deal with it.

That's not something the module deals with so I'm afraid youy'll have to look elsewhere for a solution to that problem!

just installed URI_mapping 3.2.4 and I get an error when I try to use the module.

Warning: main(/home/shastabc/public_html/store/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/shastabc/public_html/store/316BackDoor/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php on line 31

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/shastabc/public_html/store/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/shastabc/public_html/store/316BackDoor/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php on line 31

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a upgrade from 1.7
the only add on's I'm using are, google base feeder Config & Products & Attributes Stock

Probably something simple, as I'm a not much of a programmer.

Hi,

Warning: main(/home/shastabc/public_html/store/includes/extra_datafiles/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php)

You haven't uploaded all the files.

At least one, includes/extra_datafile/ceon_uri_mapping_config.php is missing..

Follow the installation instructions from the start again and hopefully you'll get it right this time!

All the best...

Yikes!!! Checked installation it looked complete, reinstalled anyway and now I,m unable to get into admin,

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_catalog_href_link() in /home/shastabc/public_html/store/316BackDoor/includes/header.php on line 230


checked header.php file it appears to be intact and unchanged from the installation date.


Thanks for you reply but, what next?
