Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

[PGlad]

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

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?

Ok I have been doing quite a bit of digging and I can't seam to find a good initial setup how too for this SEO URL mod.

I have installed everything and did get my site working, but I am having issues now loading my test product page. I end up getting a 404 error with seo set to true. Any info or suggestions would be great. I can pass on url via pm.

Current mods include: Languages (EN,ES,FR,DU,IT), custom template, zen light box, ttp, captcha, image handler 2, sale report.

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 am trying to get Simple SEO to work on an IIS 7 server that has the Helicontech ISAPI_Rewrite v3 software installed. This offers .htaccess support. However although SSU installed without errors and appears in the Zen admin, it isnt rewriting the product /category links.

In the support documentation for Helicontech it says the "[E=var:val] set environment variable" has no relevance in a Windows environment. So, I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this, or should I look at another rewrite system? Has anyone had a success with any of the rewriters in a Windows environment? (I'd switch to linux but I have other sites on the same package using IIS)

I don't know much about IIS but you can read this here.

1. If you server is using IIS instead of Apache, better get the latest version
2. In fact, better get the latest version in any case
3. Make sure you have uploaded ALL files correctly, missing one or two files is not uncommon
4. If all done and still not work, check to make sure mod_rewrite is really working

Howdy, all.

I'll keep this brief. After hours and hours of installing and troubleshooting, I have to give up. I even purchased the install pack from the developer (mid last week), but never heard from them. I'm at a loss.

So, I've tried to uninstall it by deleting all files.

HOWEVER, I have an issue occurring. This issue was occurring when SSU was installed. It is still present.

In admin, it was throwing a 404 error when I selected catalog/categories, which lead me to the url mystore/admin/categories.php.

Now that I've deleted all the files and cleared my cache in multiple browser, it's still linking to mystore/admin/categories.php instead of the old long string.

How do I clear this out since I've deleted all of SSU files?

I hope when you deleted all the files you deleted the cache/ssu files too. If you didn't that is probably the problem.
