Ugh headache. Will go install everything again (4th or 5th time now). Pretty sure it was 3.8.5

Another installation was the charm, working great now, thanks!

I have ssu v3.7.1 installed on zc 1.3.8a and my htaccess is:

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]

EOF SSU

and I double checked with my hosting company, mod rewrite is on.

Anything else that I can check?

and yes, I have module manager installed and working.

Hi, guys, I have Zencart v1.3.8,
I installed Module Manager (and its working), and I installed Simple SEO URL Version: 3.5.8.

After finishing the installation, my index page works fine, but I get 500 Internal Server Error on all other pages (links).
The http adresses are good too, for example: for category it would give http://www.MySite/cake-c-3.

I checked MySite/admin configuration, its the same as people suggest in the forum.
I was missing cache/.... directories, so i added them
I checked my htacces in root directory and it seems fine, it reads:

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

Change "/zencart/ to the correct setting

if your site is located at root folder, then you should have RewriteBase /

Go to your include/configure.php, this value should be the same with the value of DIR_WS_CATALOG

RewriteBase /www.*******.com/

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

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

EOF SSU

Please help!!!!

I don't know what more i can check to make this awesome contribution work.

Thank you!

Difficult to say because your htaccess configuration must be based on the location of your store. You can visit yourstore/ssu_check.php to see the suggested configuration

1. If you server is using IIS instead of Apache, better get the latest version
2. In fact, better get the latest version in any case
3. Make sure you have uploaded ALL files correctly, missing one or two files is not uncommon
4. If all done and still not work, check to make sure mod_rewrite is really working

Its weird, but I think I worked out the kinks here with the htaccess. I noticed one irregularity between what I had and what was suggested (ssu_check) and so I changed it to that and then it started to work halfway. The urls were coming up but the css was not being called. So I checked my error logs and the line that ends with !-f was causing an error and being ignored, so I commented that out, now my css is being called but my admin serves a 500 internal error. So I guessed that it was the line below that (ends with !-d) and commented it out. Now it works! Both front and back ends and the css is being called!

Now I just need to know how to set the ssu config in admin so that my urls are better.

Currently, I am getting:

https://www.domain.com/air/air/replacement - for the product info display pages. How do I configure ssu so that it writes it like this:

https://www.domain.com/engine-and-drivetrain/k-n-air-filter etc

I'm the top level cat and then the product name should work well.

Please remember I have ssu v3.7.1. Thanks so much for your help :)

Better check your htaccess, perhaps you should post it here. Remove or editing htaccess rules correctly may have serious effect

If you look in your admin, so will see the current divider for categories being set as "/", you can change it to something else and reset ssu cache. If you have SSU Alias on you will need to clear out alias table as well.

As suggested by you, please have a look:

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

#RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]

EOF SSU

The lines that end with !-f and !-d are the ones I commented out, everything seems to be working fine....

This is all you have? (nothing else in this htaccess file?)

BTW, I thought I should explain the 3 most important lines there:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
--> if the url does not point to a real file
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
--> if the url does not point to a real folder
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA]
--> then do the rewrite

If you comment out the 2 lines above, it means even if yourste.com/something.html or yoursite.com/abc points to real file/folder, you will still be redirected. So keep that in mind.

I would recommend you contact your host with the error details you got to see why the 2 lines above dont work as they should

As suggested by you, please have a look:

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

EOF SSU

something very important: it also means visitors visit the old urls may not be redirected correctly to new ones, they may see all not found pages

This is what happens when I work late at night LOL... I actually had 2 copies of the ssu code in the htacces file and that is what was causing the issues.

I now uncommented those 2 lines with a cleaned up htaccess file and the admin and front end both work!

No, that was not the whole file, I just thought you meant to show you the ssu part. Anyway all is well again!

BTW, thank you for the heads up, I probably would not have double checked if you had not said anything!

Hi,

I was following the suggestions you gave to autoace with .htaccess file hoping that it may fix my 500 too. So now i do not get 500 on all the links, but i get 404 on every single one of them. Do you have any suggestions?

My .htaccess lookls like this now:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

EOF SSU

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I dont think this is correct

RewriteBase /www.diapercakesgifts.com/

If your store is located at

https://www.diapercakesgifts.com/store for example then you need

RewriteBase /store/

of your store is located at

https://www.diapercakesgifts.com

then you need to use

RewriteBase /

Thank you for your help! :D It works now! :clap:

If anyone has the same problem with 500 error this is the way my .htaccess looks now:

Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /

RewriteBase /

Deny access from .htaccess

An example if one of my sites URL's is:

But I would like them to look like:

I have changed the setting in config>Simple SEO URL to

Set Link Alias Status false

Set Auto Alias Status false
Set Category Separator /

The settings in bold I though would give me the result I'm after, but changing these setting seems to have absolutely no effect. Does anyone have any suggestions as to I how I could get the .html at the end of my URL's and have no categories or subcategories within the URL?

Hi,
I'm using zc 1.3.9f running on a hosted shared server.
PHP version is 5.2.13.
I just installed Simple SEO v3.8.5 and I got error 404.

I checked with my hoster and they mentioned that mod_rewrite is enabled but option +FollowSymLinks is not allowed in shared server environment due to security restrictions. They suggested to use other rewrite rules.

I tried removing the particular line that contain option +FollowSymLinks and I'm able to get access to my shop again. So my question is, is it OK to just remove that line? or is there any other way to get around this? any help would be much appreciated.

Here is the content of my htaccess now.

I have had similar problems with SSU not showing urls how I wanted. In my case SSU kept showing the ID's. The only way I found to correct it was to actually delete all the folders inside the SSU cache then go to Extras->SSU Manager and Reset All Cache.
