Ultimate SEO installation question

I'd like to know this: in
http://www.dream-scape.com/pub/zencart/Ultimate_SEO_URLs/install.html
it is written this:
'Edit or create the file **.htaccess** in your Zen Cart catalog folder and add the following (replace /shop/ with the relative web path of your catalog):
RewriteBase /shop/ "

I currently have this path:
/home/kiss/www.domain.com

nothing after https://www.domain.com , so what should I use instead of /shop/ at RewriteBase /shop/ ?
Should I write /kiss/ instead of /shop/ ? Or just leave
RewriteBase /

? Please let me know ...

Also I read this in the README.txt file :
"You should rename the existing file to *.bak before copying. " This is only a sort of backup?
i.e. in case things go wrong and I want to restore what was before, I can rename those files as .php back again?

Thanks :)

you should just remove the /shop/ part if your site is located in the root (example: https://www.yoursite.com = root , but if you have it some located in a folder like shop or catalog then put /shop or /catalog

I see ... it's in the root ... so I just leave how exactly?

RewriteBase

or

RewriteBase /

or delete that line? I guess it's RewriteBase /
, as in this forum thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21801&page=31
but please confirm.
Also, another question: I downloaded Ultimate_SEO_URLs_v2.103 for my Zen Cart version 1.3.7 (the current one) from here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_47&products_id=231
I see a folder called: _zen_cart_folder
Here http://www.dream-scape.com/pub/zencart/Ultimate_SEO_URLs/install.html
it says:
" 1. Copy files from _zen_cart_folder to your Zen Cart install "
My question is (just to have things clear, with no confusion):
e.g. I upload the file from _zen_cart_folder , from includes/extra_datafiles/seo.php exactly to includes/extra_datafiles/ where there are other files now, right? And the same for the others, is this correct?
Thanks for your help!

Change /shop/ to /

That works for me. Please note I think Ulimate SEO has issue installing on 1.3.6 and 1.3.7 I couldn't get it working quite right on these verions, but worked fine on 1.3.5.

By the way, where exactly do I upload the .htaccess file?
Oops, I see your reply now ... So, I should either use v1.3.5 or give up to Ultimate SEO until a verified version for v1.3.7 is released?

There are a number of issues in v1.3.5 ... you really want to upgrade to v1.3.7 ...

I wasn't suggesting to use 1.3.5 just saying the mod doesn't work well with the newer verions

You put the .htaccess file in the root where your index.php where your zen-cart was installed.

Ajeh:

Yes, problem solved after I got this:
1054 Unknown column 'c.parent_id' in 'on clause'
in:
[SELECT c.categories_id as id, c.parent_id, cd.categories_name as cName, cd2.categories_name as pName FROM zh_categories c, zh_categories_description cd LEFT JOIN zh_categories_description cd2 ON c.parent_id=cd2.categories_id AND cd2.language_id='2' WHERE c.categories_id=cd.categories_id AND cd.language_id='2']

I made the replacement mentioned by macson here:

and now things are great :)

I've seen a couple people with the same problem but there didn't seem to be an answer given.

I use Ultimate SEO on my website which is running v1.3.6 and it has worked wonderfully. Since v1.3.7 came out, I figure I'd take the time and upgrade while doing some template updates to the site as well.

However, when running through the instructions and copying all the files as instructed before (this is a fresh install as well) I received a server error 500 message upon loading the site and in trying to access anything else like the admin.

Is this a problem with v1.3.7 or is there some underlying step I missed that might not have been in the instructions? I know the files in the package also contained updates for v1.3.5, but I figured v1.3.7 would work as well.

If anyone can offer some insight on this I'd appreciate it.
