Hi,

I really need some help from some Zen Cart store owners here.

I need a few people to send me a dump of their server environment variable.

I need to test Ceon URI Mapping v4.0.0 on as many different server types as possible and being able to see some info from other server types will greatly help.

Please could you create a file on your server, such as "servercheck.php"

Make the contents of the files the following:

> 
> Please then "View Source" of the output page and send this output to me privately [via this link](http://ceon.net/contact-us).
> 
> Then delete the file you just created from your server.
> 
> 
> I really need people who are using IIS or some other webservers to do this as soon as possible please.. otherwise you may find that v4.0.0 breaks on your server.. in whicih case you'lkl have to wait for a fix in 4.0.1 etc.
> 
> 
> Please be assured that **all information will be kept private**.. 
> 
> I simply need this information to see how differently configured servers build their $_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"], $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"], $_SERVER["ORIG_PATH_INFO"] etc. variables.
> 
> 
> Thanks for any help, you'll be helping yourself too as if I can get this code working, there will be no need to "exclude" files in future!
> 
> All the best...

Hi Conor 
I would imagine you already have it for the "Apache" severs. You just need the info for the IIS or other web servers, correct. I have my info for the Apache if you need it. Let me know.

Hi,

DivaVocals:

Yep.. I had the same question myself..

Knew the two of you would reply! Hope you're having a nice start to the weekend.

If you don't mind sending me on your info, at least that might "confirm" that the code I've already written for Apache is indeed likely to be sound always.

I have three environments tested so far:

Windoze with Apache using lib_php

Linux with Apache using lib_php

Linux with Apache using FastCGI

What I'd additionally like is:

• Linux with Apache with PHP running as CGI

• IIS with PHP

• Zeus with PHP
  If I don't hear back from anyone by the time 4.0.0 is finished I'll just release without testing on these platforms, I'm afraid I can't wait for someone to come forward.

All the best...

Do you EVER sleep???:laugh:

Hi,

DivaVocals:

Do you EVER sleep???:laugh:

I'm pretty determined to get these new module versions out once and for all!

DivaVocals:

Beer in hand.. having a GREAT start to my weekend!!!

That sounds good.. I'll celebrate myself once I've got these new distribution versions out. Keep enjoying yourself in the meantime! ;)

I didn't get that e-mail? Maybe you were enjoying the beers! (Which is good, don't go out of your way.. only send these if you have a bit of spare time!).

For anyone else reading this thread...

I still haven't heard from anyone running these sorts of servers:

• Linux with Apache with PHP running as CGI

• IIS with PHP

• Zeus with PHP

Please help if you can.. it is in your own interests!

All the best...

Sorry for the delay.. Apparently Outlook choked last night and none of my inbound/outbound mail was moving.. You should have gotten 4 e-mail almost simultaneously now..

Sent you samples from 4 clients using different hosting companies including

• Netfirms
• GoDaddy
• IX Web Hosting
• BlueHost

No problem on the delay.. turns out the software is taking more time to write than I'd hoped anyway!

Thanks very much for that, I'm pretty confident that the software will definitely cope with any variation of Linux+Apache.

Now just to get some feedback from any IIS users out there??

Thanks again DivaVocals. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Hi,

This looks like a great mod (only if I can figure out what I'm not doing right)....Very easy to install and great documentation. Thank you for sharing and spending time working on it.

I've finally created a template and installed this mod a couple of days ago. There were no products in my database. I started entering products today using Easy Populate. In admin->modules->Ceon...config - I have auto generation set up as 'yes'.

However, every time I enter new products, the autogeneration is not working. It still shows a dynamic link...I've been trying to find a solution for the last couple of days and can't seem to find it.

I'm using ZC1.3.9h. Ceon 3.8.0. :frusty:

Ceon URI Mapping does not support Easy Populate uploading. You will have to do them manual, one at a time.

You will have to do them manual one at a time. To have a auto generation for all products at once Conor cannot answer this question here on this support forum as the rules of this forum prohibit the support or discussion of paid modules on the part of the module creator. The particular module you speak of will be a commercial module, and if you want more information on it, you will need to contact Conor via e-mail. (use the contact form on the Ceon website)

Donations:yes:, Donations:yes:, Donations:yes:, I have always seen if you support the creator on the module they are most of the time willing to help you out when you need that extra boost.:bigups:

Great. Thank you.

I asked Ajeh to remove it for me. Sorry about that. I don't know why I would do something like that. :no:

I added this module to an existing cart with about 50 products. The installation went smoothly. The configuration is at the default settings. When I edit a category or product, tick the box to have the URI auto-generated for the category or product, the link to the file changes, but no page exists at that location - or no redirect is happening.

I click on the category or product link in the shop, and get a 404, file not found at the new-category/file-name.

I feel like I am missing the connection between the zen cart and .htaccess. My cart didn't have an .htaccess file in the root folder with the index.php file, so I created one, turned on mod rewrite, and added this to the file, because my admin is in zc_admin:

Don't rewrite admin directory

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/zc_admin [NC]

Does the add-on write statements to the .htaccess file as URIs are auto or manually generated? When I installed the add-on, should it have created its own .htaccess file? Am I missing rules that should be added to the .htaccess file to make it work?

I've read everything I can find, and I still must be missing something. Can you shed some light?

Conor has provided a very detail read me file that comes with this module. All you have to do is read it to know that you have to make a .htaccess file and put it in the root of your server.

Make a .htaccess file and put in this information but change the admin folder to the custom name you are using.

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} !^/your_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?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Thank you for the quick response. I had read the document several times, but did not realize that I should begin with one of the two example rules for the .htaccess file (store in root or not root), then modify the rule for the renamed admin location. In my case zc_admin.

Does exactly what we need now. :clap:

Glad you like the software.

For version 4.0.0 I'm adding an "example rewrite rule for your store" section to the configuration utility so people can copy and paste a rewrite rule into their .htaccess file.. hopefully that will help others avoid the problem you had.

I've tried to make the documentation as easy as possible to follow but the length of this thread shows that I've failed somewhat in that regard.. hopefully I can begin to turn that around with v4.0.0... although it's taking weeks now and still not finished... hopefully soon :|

No the documentation is the best I have seen on how to install a add on. People just don't read, or half read the documentation. They want it, and want it fast, and they half read how to install it.
You have done a great job Conor keep up the good work.:yes:

That's very nice of you to say, thanks very much!

I do feel that it could be better.. ideally if I had the time I'd create completely different versions of the documentation for different server setups, so there could be more of a "hold your hand and walk you through things" option for those that struggle to read the documentation as it is.

v4.0.0 is easier to install and from that point always it'll be simple to upgrade so I'm getting somewhere.

Back to programming then... :)
