Hi,

This is caused when you don't have a rewrite rule in place. You need to put a rewrite rule in the .htaccess folder alongside your index.php file.

I followed #2 on the docs/configuration.html page for .htaccess rules: "Example rule for stores installed in a folder other than the root of the site, with the admin named “admin”.

When I put this where the index.php file is in my FTP it broke the shopping cart part of the site, am I missing something in the rules to still allow the domain.com/shop to go to the shopping cart?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

MX809:

Sounds like you have either forgotten to modify includes/functions/html_output.php or have something wrong with your .htaccess which is conflicting.

All the best..

Hello, I just did an install on an otherwise working website.

Version 1.3.9h

I used the core_modified_core files from the 1.3.9d folder.

The site is still working but now my ADMIN isn't. It doesn't even show up! It just displays a blank page. The url stays the same, so it's not redirecting anywhere. I put in the proper code to my .htaccess file and DID change the name of admin folder to the right name (I renamed my admin folder awhile back)

Any suggestions? Please help!

Here's my .htaccess code in case some of the other info may have not mixed with it. (I did already try deleting everything but the ceon code and it didn't work)

I was having a lot of problems with my Paypal Express not working. Now after deactivating CEON URI and removing the .htaccess file from the root directory, I finally got it working again.
My problem is that I really want to have the CEON URI working. Everywhere I read, I do not find anyone who has this problem. I thought that the mod should not interfere with the ipn_handler.php file. but it seems to do so.
My htaccess file was very typical... What am I missing?

Hi,

I think you've forgotten to set the correct value of DIR_FS_ADMIN in your admin/includes/configure.php file.

I read and searched through the forum but not a straight answer for my problem.

You can't use a program like Word or Wordpad to create a .htaccess file!

Your file didn't work because it had gunk the like following at the start:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1038\cocoasubrtf350
{\fonttbl\f0\fmodern\fcharset0 Courier;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
\vieww9000\viewh8400\viewkind0
\deftab720
\pard\pardeftab720

\f0\fs24 \cf0 RewriteEngine On\
```You need to use notepad or some similar text editor when editing text documents.

Hi,

jaylee:

Everywhere I read, I do not find anyone who has this problem. I thought that the mod should not interfere with the ipn_handler.php file.

I'm afraid I don't have an answer for you.. the software runs fine with PayPal on several thousand Zen Cart sites.. why just your site is having issues is baffling.

Try changing your .htaccess to

RewriteEngine On

# Don't rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
# Don't rewrite admin directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin [NC]
# Don't rewrite editors directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
# Don't rewrite cPanel directories
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/cpanel [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/frontend [NC]
# Handle all other URIs using Zen Cart (index.php)
RewriteRule .* index.php [QSA,L]
```You shouldn't need to rewrite .htm or .php files... it's bad form to use .htm etc. at the end of static URIs.

Also, make sure you are using version 3.8.0.

Hopefully that helps.

All the best..

Conor ... You definately are awesome! Thank you so much. Everything works great now !

Morning all.

So further on from my white screen issue last night. I have restored all modified core files to their originals, removed all URI mapping files and pretty much restored all other files from backup.

It's strange as it seem like without it there it still causes the white screen yet it happened whilst installing the updated URI mapping. If anyone could help that would be great.
