Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[noleafclover2007]

May anyone who is claimed ‘totally zenned’ give some help?

Hello everyone,

I have just installed SSU ver 3.8.5 as a module to my Zen-cart ver. v1.3.9f. Seems I have installed it all right, with the hand-edited html_output.php, module installer, using the htaccess that cam in package with ver 3.8.5, etc. The links that I see through the anchors are fine and clickable, however I have 2 immediate problems:

1) whenever any of the SEO links are followed, they KEEP REDIRECTING me to ‘index’ root page.
2) when ‘local.config.php’ (coming in package with ver 3.8.5) is enabled (my language code is RU), then returned is “500 Internal Server Error”. Both “SSU Status” and “SSU Multi Language Status” are true.

My environment is Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) PHP/5.2.9-1; MySQL: 5.0.67-community-nt

Can anyone please explain how to fix this or please direct me to where this is covered within this threat ?? (spent some 1 hour reading through the posts, but no luck).

Hi, with regard to:

1) whenever any of the SEO links are followed, they KEEP REDIRECTING me to ‘index’ root page.

I'm not entirely sure, but check your .htaccess at the site root and if it says 'RewriteBase /Zencart/' try changing this to 'RewriteBase /'

That is not a key to the problem, all is well with the re-write base, if the base is set wrongly, the 404 error is returned.

Amazingly, everything seems to be WORKING FINE on the different environment: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.14 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8n

I will just go ahead with whatever is workable. Will let everyone know when I fix my local ‘zen-cart+simple seo’ installation at WAMP environment. Thanks anyhow.

I noticed my ZenID was hanging around in my URLS ever since I installed SSU. There are a few posts on my problem in this thread. I was never able to fix it until just now.

All I did was add
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^nintendoparts.com.au
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.nintendoparts.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

to my .htaccess file, it fixed the problem straight away.

But now I have another problem with SSU, possibly related to my new .htaccess file, I'm not sure:
I just added a new product to my site and the product URL is showing as:

.nintendoparts.com.au/ds-lite-other-parts/products-name

all my older product URL's are showing just fine though eg:

.nintendoparts.com.au/ds-lite-cases/ds-lite-black-case

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Solved the problem, I just needed to clear the SEO URLS cache under EXTRAS>Simple SEO URL's Manager

It can not be emphasize enough whenever you delete categories, delete products, when making changes to any URL'S to clear the cache right away under EXTRAS>Simple SEO URL's Manager.

I've noticed with SSU that the URL for the 1st page in a category shows the clean URL Alias but if I go to pages 2, 3, 4, etc it doesn't show the Alias. I've even tried going into the Alias manager and taking the old URL and tried to created a new Alias and it still didn't take. Could it be a setting within my SSU Admin?

Here's an example:
First page in category: http://www.a n d r e a b o n e l l i.com/earrings
Second page in same category: http://www.a n d r e a b o n e l l i.com/earrings?sort=20a&page=2

I tried to change the URL in the Alias manager to show:
/earrings-page-2/

and this didn't take..

What could I do to change all of the extra pages in all of my categories to show a new Alias?
