Ceon URI Mapping (SEO)

conor:

Hi,

It doesn't appear that that htaccess file is being used or something is wrong.

When I go to

happyworkshopus.com

it does NOT redirect to

www.happyworkshopus.com

which it appears it should do.

I really don't have the time to post much here so please just send me FTP and admin details for your site via my e-mail address and I'll log in and take a quick look. That's all I can do.

All the best..

Hi Ceon,

I just tried ' happyworkshopus.com' and it direct to ' https://www.happyworkshopus.com ' , does it mean it's working? but I can't log in to admin (zen cart )

Yes, I've tested it myself and the rewrite rule is now working perfectly. Zen Cart is now being used to show 404 pages, which is correct.

You must have named the rule for the admin folder wrongly (you didn't post the name of the admin folder).

I'm afraid I can't be of any further help without actual FTP and admin details.

All the best..

Dear ceon,
can I have your email ? and I'll send you the ftp information

Hi CEON,

Should I send the ftp information to your PM?

Hi,

sung2010:

You already have my e-mail address. I've sent you an e-mail. Please send both FTP AND admin details.

For peace of mind you can delete any accounts created for me afterwards.

Thanks,

Conor

I've just sent to your PM

Hi,

sung2010:

I've just sent to your PM

I asked you to e-mail me.

I have sent you two e-mails, one when you originally contacted me and one when you posted a few minutes ago.

The details you sent me via PM don't work.

Please check the details, check your e-mail and e-mail (not PM) me back. If you haven't received my e-mails then please check your spam filters, then if you still can't find them please PM me and I'll post you my e-mail address.

Thanks.

Conor

Hi,

I've just received your email a min ago,,, ( don't know why it takes so long)

I've included my ftp information in the email.

Thank you

That was very strange. At least you got it in the end.

The problem with the admin wasn't the Ceon URI Mapping rewrite rule but the rule countrycharm posted.. it was redirecting the admin URIs which was resulting in no POSTed forms working in the admin.

I've modified that rule and everything is working perfectly now.

The working .htaccess file is identical now to the example rule in the Ceon URI Mapping documentation, with an additional rewrite rule above, adjusted to work with the Zen Cart admin on a SSL site:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^happyworkshopus.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/ADMINFOLDERNAME [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/editors [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.happyworkshopus.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# 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} !^/ADMINFOLDERNAME [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] 
```No worries about the mistake countrycharm.. obviously your site is set up differently and the rules you posted work for you. :)

All the best..

Hi Ceon,

Just wondering if you have received my email yet.

If you have, you might find that you can't log in to admin... just for your information

Hi CEON

thank you so much and countrycharm

so, can I log in to the admin? should I try to check the box to see if it redirect to new map?

Dear CEON,

Thank you so much. You save my life !!!! Thank you Thank you

Problem !!!

My IE page can't display all images after having the rewrite rule installed

Hi,

sung2010:

My website looks ok in Firefox not in IE....

It works fine in all browsers. You must have something wrong with IE on your computer.

All the best...

Conor

So you said my website looks ok in your IE?

guess I need to call my ISP since I can't access to certain sites since today and can't figure out why

Thank you.

sung2010:

It's identical in IE6, IE8 and Firefox 3.5.

Which is to be expected.. rewrite rules do not affect different browsers in different ways. If the images show in Firefox they will show in IE. Your ISP has nothing to do with it.

All the best...

Conor

No worries about the mistake countrycharm.. obviously your site is set up differently and the rules you posted work for you. :)

I'm not worried...lol. I know you are the man. Thanks Conor for letting me know. I didn't mean to misled no one. My apologies. I tried the one you posted also. Either one works for me. Must be what host you have hosting your site determine the out come. Glad you got it all sorted out.

Hi CEON,

I found out why the website's image didn't be displayed in IE8 and I have tested in my friend's PC (IE8) as well, he also can't see the website properly.

and then, we checked ' Compatibility View ' in IE, some images and pages in home page start showing properly.

and I tested a bit, I found some category and products images are not shown up ex. ' next ' , ' previous ' and other button image are not shown as well...

Don't worry, of course I know you weren't trying to mislead anyone! :)

FYI It isn't the host that determines the outcome, but the SSL settings.. I'm guessing your SSL certificate uses www. whereas Karen's doesn't have www. as part of the SSL domain. This means SSL links always dropped the www., which then was causing a redirect to www., breaking all forms in the admin.

All the best..

Sorry Karen but that's just not right. It works fine without having to use compatibility view here in IE8. It also works fine in IE6 as I said. For example, this page is perfect, identical in IE and Firefox:

http://www.happyworkshopus.com/art-supplies/crayons/butter-lion-12-colors-nontoxic-crayons-blop12

I'm afraid I can't spend any more time on this.

I hope you find the problem, but it's nothing to do with URI Mapping. If it works in Firefox it should show in IE.

If you are still having trouble please don't post here but start a new thread, hopefully someone will be able to help you.

All the best..
