These statements should be in the htaccess for their individual sites.

The error you have I have seen in the past with relation to the Fast CGI configuration. Also, you should know it is a global setting and you could be seeing the error for another site in the log. This is a contact your web host to troubleshoot the server configuration problem.

Has there been any talk about rewriting internally so the -c -p etc wouldnt be needed in the SEO urls so they could be written somecategoryname.html or site.com/somecatname/product-name.html?

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the htaccess stuff which should be i their own sites:

I use one hosting account for multiple domains and have them pointed to their folders.

Eg, My Zen Site is in the root directory - https://www.dgtech.co.nz

Then i have a website hosted in a folder /dhattgroup under the root and https://www.dhattgroup.co.nz points to this directory. And it shows it in the address bar as if the site is individualy hosted- i mean it shows https://www.dhattgroup.co.nz/index.html not https://www.dgtech.co.nz/dhattgroup/index.html

I hope this is the correct way- correct me if im wrong.

I'll talk to my host regarding the -f error

What you have does serve that purpose... but generally this is done with a cname or similar dns setting.

The default url and indexing syntax should be in the folder of the site it refers to... if for no other reason than to avoid accidental rewriting of another domain's urls.

Hi guys,

Has anyone been able to do an automatic 301 redirect with the ultimate SEO. By default, I know it does not and it is certainly an issue (Google keep block filtering my newly "beautiful" and friendly urls :)). I have seen that the Ultimate SEO for OSCommerce had apprantly been able to do it. I am honestly willing to pay for the feature and make it freely available to everyone.

I check with SEO Url but the latest version seem to have an issue with Google Adwords and so on. So I am not willing to try it yet.

Thanks

A 301 Redirect has nothing to do with SEO but is part of good website maintainence.

If the Redirect is using the same Hosting account as the old URL, just add the following at the very top of your .htaccess file.

Redirect 301 /oldurl.html /newurl.html

ok ive got a question, ive got installed and all working, but i have linked products in more then one Categories but if i click on product in cat2 i end up seeing product in cat1

is there anyway to fix this? or is it something i just have to live with Ultimate SEO's?
(also would magic SEO's not have this problem?)

Hi,
I have installed the SEO to my 1.3.7 version of Zen-cart.
The Store is located in a folder off the main domain.

The SEO works excellent...
...The only problem is when I HOVER the mouse of the links it seems to show me the original URL, but when I click on it, it goes to the new seo freindly URL!

How do I fix this so it shows the new url even when hovering over it?

Thank you

Hi all,

I have just installed Ultimate SEO 2.106, eveything is ok except that i coiuld no longer access http://www.myurl.com/admin

That is, the admin for Zen Cart, it gets redirected to the login page. Can anyone advise?

Thanks a million!

I have installed this mod on my testing site and Iam having problem opening any of the pages the mod is installed on https://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/dev If you click on any item for example http://www.coolcarpartsonline.com/dev/bmw-e36-9298-3series-srs-full-body-kit-p-469.html I can see that its converting to html but this will generate an error and yahoo page will show up. This page appears to be missing.

Can Any body tell me what am I doing wrong and how can I fix this issue.

The .htaccess file that comes with USEO,

• is it in the 'dev' dir.
• did you edit this line like so: RewriteBase /dev/

Thank you.
I had the file in the directory but it was missing the (.) int the.htaccess

I just found the Problem..
I installed version 2.107 Ultimate SEO on a Zencart version 1.3.7.
I realized that in that version seo there was no file in the included/functions which was called html_output.php.
I compared the older version of SEO 2.105 and that had that file in it...So I just copied that file from it and replaced the file that was on my server.
It now works beautifully :)

Just a quick questions, was reading somewhere on the forum that this SEO does not do the 404 error headers or something, does that mean I need to do something to fix that or is that in older versions of the SEO?
If I need to fix it, then how do I do that?

Thanking you in advance.

Hi
I think I seriously mest up my zencart with the ultimate SEO urls
All folders with the containing files did I copy to the corresponding directory. But then I didn't understand what exactually with the access_sample file . Following the readme instructions I chanched it to .htaccess and copied this file in my zc_install folder, where there was aleady an .htaccess file.

Till then my shop and my zen Admin still displayed well.
But the Ultimate seo url tab didn't display in my configuration of my admin.
Then I 've tried to reastablish the original .htaccess file ,but from then my Zencart Admin doesn't display anymore. I get this message:

Fatal error: Class 'SEO_URL' not found in /home/a8033afr/public_html/includes/autoload_func.php on line 79

So in my zc_install folders there was already an .htaccess file with this content:

$Id: .htaccess 3781 2006-06-16 04:33:28Z drbyte $

The following disables mod_security in apache, which may be necessary during installation

This file should only be used INSIDE the zc_install folder. Using the following directive elsewhere can

cause security problems on your site. Talk to your webhost if you are concerned about its effects.

If for some reason the above doesn't produce the desired results, simply remove the # from the

following lines:

#SecFilterEngine off
#SecFilterScanPOST Off

Should I overwrite this file in zc_install folder or put it in the main directory??

It's the second tie I stumble over this problem. Last week I did a totalnew zen installation for that same problem.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doiing wrong.

PS this is the url: http://afro-masks.com/

The files /install do not go in your ZC_INSTALL folder... they go in your current catalog. :smile:

I finally made it work. The only thing I had to do was adjusting the .htaccess file (rewrite base)
But now when I go to one of my products page I still get the old unadapted url.

http://afro-masks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=1

It makes no difference if I enable or disable SEO urls.

How to designate a SEO adapted url ?
Does it matter if my site is not yet indexed by Google?

These are my settings for the .htaccess file:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /afro-masks.com/

My site is also not in the root folder of my domain but in a public_html folder. If this would make a difference.

But still I get a dynamic link

Sites are usually there, consider your location as root.
Your line could also look like this and make no difference:
RewriteBase /

Due to how your site is setup, you must use: RewriteBase /

Can we presume you do have all the other rewrite code in your .htaccess but just didn't want to post it?
