Did you have it on a live server begin with, or did you have it on your local host then upload it to your live server?

I directly installed on the live server. When i had the problem i tested on my localhost. Same problem. In my localhost i used the debugger and notice the following.

Parameter 1 to productsParser::parseParam() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxxx\includes\classes\ssu\cores\link.php on line 358

Do you know what this means.

What i did see is that i can choose any link in my main categories, and it is displayed like it should, but none of the sub categories can be choosen.

Post a link to your site.

hi,

my site link is https://www.kousenboutique.nl.

SSU isn't running now because the site is live.

Well you have to turn it on so I can take a peek. Let me know when it is a good time for you. I will be back on later.

Can we do this in one hour.

I am ready. Let me know.

I'm unable to get Simple SEO to work with 1.3.9f. I know it must, but there must be something subtle in the install instructions that I'm missing. Need some pointers to help track down the problem.

First, I've had SSU 3.8.0 working fine in zc 1.3.8a store for a long time. That store closed down due to ownership probs... but plans to re-open. In the meantime, I thought I'd update to 1.3.9f and the latest SSU 3.8.5. Unfortunately, i can't get it to work.

For dev work, I'm using xampp 1.7.1, win7 x64.

If I do a clean install of 1.3.9f with NO mods, then install module manager rev 18, then install SSU 3.8.0, it partially works. The friendly URLs appear in the address bar, but the long URLs appear in the browser status bar whenever you hover over a link. If you click a link, the correct page shows, and a friendly URL is in the address bar, but links on the page are still long format if you hover over them -- that doesn't seem to ever change.

When I update to SSU 3.8.5, I see friendly URLs everywhere, but the main landing page is always displayed no matter what link you click. So, it looks right, but none of the links take you anywhere.

I've tried this several times on two different computers (win7, one is 32bit, one is 64bit) over a few days... hoping to eliminate user error ;) Unfortunately, I get the same results every time. I can do a clean install of 1.3.8a and it works correctly. Has something changed in the installation process that I'm missing?

Has anyone seen this behavior? Any suggestions?

thanks,

Tom

I have come to a conclusion Simple Seo 3.8.5 doesn't work on a local host. There were 1 or two others having the same problem. I have it working on my live server with no problems. I'm running zencart 1.3.9f Try installing it on a live server and see if it will work for you. If it does then you will know there is problems running it on a local host.

When I have ssu turned OFF, my links work, when ssu is ON, the links are broken.

Can someone please give me a rundown of the proper settings in admin>config>ssu (or atleast what you have if you have it working!)

A vanilla 1.3.9f install - but it's 3.5.7 SSU

I had no issues during install or running...

Thank you, but your settings don't quite match up w/ mine for ssu. I have ssu v3.7.1

localhost: ssu works just fine as long as it is apache server with mod rewrite enabled

zen version 1.3.9: there is a change in the .htaccess of zencart that can interfere with how ssu works, one of the devs of zencart suggested the following fix:
go to the .htaccess file of your store root folder, inside you should find ssu's rules, find the line

RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

Change it to

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L,PT]

if you turn on ssu and your links dont work (ie: getting all 404) then the problem lies in the .htaccess:

1. maybe you set the RewriteBase wrong
2. maybe you dont have mod rewrite
3. or maybe you are using zen 1.3.9 and need to make the change mentioned above

Having same issue as previously posted but have been unable to resolve with previous suggestions.

Zen Cart Version 1.3.9d
SSU Version 3.5.8

Everything is working fine except when I get a blank page when I click on Extras / Simple SEO URL Manager. I need to edit the URL's for the site so they will not display the c (categories) and numbers.

Any suggestions?

If you get a blank page there, it's not a htaccess issue. I suspect you can resolve it by download and upload this package

Module Manager is installed already?

If you have the old version, you can get a blank page issue with the new SSU.

If you want, and indeed you should, you can enable error logging and check the error details to see exactly why you are getting the blank page

Latest version of Module Manager is already installed.
