Help Please - need help with .htaccess file
I'm sure this is a stupid question but I'm new to this. I installed Ultimate SEO URL and I'm getting a 404 error. I'm pretty sure I know the problem is in my .htaccess file But I don't know how to insert the new Apache directives from Ultimate SEO URL into my old .htaccess file seeing as I cant have 2 in the same directory with the same name. I looked all around and can't figure it out. Everything just says to put the directives together in the same file but doesn't explain how to do it.
This is whats in my old .htaccess file
<IfModule mod_deflate.c> SetOutputFilter DEFLATE <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> # Netscape 4.x has some problems... BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html # Netscape 4.06-4.08 have some more problems
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
# MSIE masquerades as Netscape, but it is fine
# BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# NOTE: Due to a bug in mod_setenvif up to Apache 2.0.48
# the above regex won't work. You can use the following
# workaround to get the desired effect:
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
# Don't compress images
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI .(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip dont-vary
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
# Make sure proxies don't deliver the wrong content
Header append Vary User-Agent env=!dont-vary
</IfModule>
And this is what I have in the new .htaccess file
###############################################################################
Add custom headers and options
###############################################################################
Notes:
Examples: Adding IE compatibility / edge flags, language and encoding flags,
php or suphp directives, configure other Apache modules such as page_speed,
and enable or disable Apache httpd options.
Do NOT configure anything directly relating to physical or virtual resources
in this section. These should be addressed later on in this file.
###############################################################################
#Options -Indexes
###############################################################################
Enable mod_rewrite processing using the rules in this .htaccess file
###############################################################################
Notes:
<IfModule> should be avoided at all costs. If mod_rewrite is not available
it is almost always better to return HTTP 500 status. This way we see there
is an issue as soon as the .htaccess file is uploaded.
For mod_rewrite to work, the Apache server option to allow symbolic links to
be followed must be enabled. Most providers supporting mod_rewrite will
already have it enabled for you, but if your rewrite rules are not working
you can un-comment the first directive below to manually enable the option.
Don't forget, mod_rewrite directives are processed in order until a matching
RewriteRule with the [L] flag is encountered. So the more specific a rule is
the closer it should appear to the top of this file.
###############################################################################
#Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
###############################################################################
Tell mod_rewrite where this file is relative to the server document_root
###############################################################################
Notes:
This directive should only be enabled if this .htaccess file is not placed
in the document_root (usually public_html, www, or web) of the (sub)domain.
An easy way to determine the location relative to the server document_root is
to look at the URL used to access a file in this folder. For example if you
access a "page" in the same folder as this file by typing in the URL
"www.mydomain.com/myfolder/index.html" then "myfolder" will be the location
of this file relative to the server document_root.
Another quick and easy way to determine the correct setting for this is to
look at the defined value for DIR_WS_CATALOG and DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG in
Zen Cart's configure.php files. All three values should match.
Don't forget the leading and trailing /. This directive requires both!
###############################################################################
#RewriteBase /shop/
###############################################################################
Redirect if request was for index.php (no query)
###############################################################################
Notes:
This is only required if the site generates references to index.php with no
parameters. This rule will force a 301 redirect to the site root when a
request is made for "/index.php" with no query terms (?key=value).
###############################################################################
#RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
#RewriteRule ^index.php$ / [R=301,L]
###############################################################################
Add any custom 301 redirects
###############################################################################
Notes:
In general these should be few and far between. If you use a RewriteRule
be sure to add the L flag to let Apache mod_rewrite know to stop processing
and skip any RewriteRules defined later in the .htaccess file.
###############################################################################
###############################################################################
Redirect if request was for index.php (with or without query)
###############################################################################
Notes:
This is a performance optimization. If the request is for index.php simply
pass the request on and do not process any other mod_rewrite directives in
this file.
Basically this avoids the overhead of checking if index.php is a real file
or directory (used in subsequent mod_rewrite rules) before sending the
request to index.php.
###############################################################################
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
###############################################################################
Start Ultimate (SEO) URLs
###############################################################################
Notes:
You should not make any changes in this section unless you really understand
how it will impact your web site. Mistakes can break things.

Handles the new URL formats
RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)/(.)-p-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$4&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)/(.)-pi-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=$4&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)/(.)-pr-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=$4&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)/(.)-pri-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=$4&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Original (unchanged) URL formats
RewriteRule ^(.)-p-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-m-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-pi-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-pr-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-pri-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-ezp-([0-9]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=page&id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
RewriteRule ^(.)-c-([0-9_]+)(.)$ index.php?main_page=index&cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
Rewrite all other requests (if the file / directory does not exist)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?main_page=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
###############################################################################
Add any other directives relating to the handling of physical files
###############################################################################
Notes:
If processing makes it this far, the request was for a real file or folder.
Example: Adding further processing related to browser caching or security.
