Zenid showing in search enginges

How can I remove the Zenid from showing in search engines. All these pages are timed out. Do you have the solution?

btw. My shop adress is http://www.minshop.no, and I am running 1.3.8.:smile:

Check your sessions settings for spiders:-

ADMIN>>>CONFIGURATION>>>SESSIONS...Prevent Spider Sessions (set to TRUE).

You may also try to set Recreate Session to TRUE, but as you do not appear to have dedicated SSL, this may have no effect.

Thank you for your reply. Will this prevent all spides from seeing my pages and not list them at all in search engines? Becuase that is not wanted ;)

I have now set "prevent spiders sessions" to TRUE, and "Recreate Session" to FALSE since I do not have SSL.

I wish you a great day!:smile:

spiders will be able to crawl the pages just fine when prevent spider sessions is set to true. It just keeps them from getting session ids

You should always set "Recreate Session" to TRUE unless you have a very specific reason for turning it off (such as an unorthodox hosting company server configuration).

Hi folks. Thank you for your quick reply.

Brilliant, I have now set it like you ask. Hope the search engines removes the zenid links soon ;)

Why would you always set recreate session to true, wouldn't that cause duplicate session for different customers possibly?

No, recreate-session creates a new session and grandfathers data from the previous session into it, and retires the old one after validating things. Basically it aids in ensuring that you never piggy-back on someone else's session, which can happen if people click on links that contain zenids.

Aw very cool, i changed it right after I saw this post so its in effect already because you are the Dr. and know best.. Having said that. What should all the other sessions settings be ideally for best security and performance..

Defaults.

I have had my site for more than 5 years... I dont know what any defaults are unless it is stated in the config on the side and they are not.

Taken from a clean install:

Cookie Domain = True
Force Cookie Use = False
Check SSL Session ID = False
Check User Agent = False
Check IP Address = False
Prevent Spider Sessions = True
Recreate Session = True
IP to Host Conversion Status = true

Check....

I am now running as I should, thank you for the help
