i have installed SSU to my zen cart and it generates URL too, but it always redirects to homepage. Can anyone help me with this??

@noleafclover2007

Were you able to get the module working for you. I am facing a similar issue with my site.

Just upgraded SSU after I found out I had an infinite search bug. Upgrading seemed to fix the infinite search bug but now I have another problem. I track my links using google analytics and run campaigns with links like so:

http://buydentalequipment.com/digital-imaging-cone-beam-amp-3d-systems-c-207_212/afp-newtom-vg-cbct-p-1174?utm_source=buydental&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekvg

These are getting redirected and modified into:
http://buydentalequipment.com/digital-imaging-cone-beam-amp-3d-systems-c-207_212/afp-newtom-vg-cbct-p-1174/utm_source=buydental&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekvg

Very subtle, but the question mark has changed to a slash. As a result the links aren't tracked.

As far as I can tell this came about once I upgraded. Any suggestions? I have utm_source, utm_campaign and utm_medium in the Set Query Key's exclude list.

Thanks,
Anthony

not yet, still hoping to get an expert opinion.

I just installed simple seo on my site,
i got the following error when i used ssu_checker to check my site, http://www.youniverseonline.com/ssu_check.php
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Anyone know what could be wrong?
Thanks,

any luck in fixing the problem? just though you might kindly share if you have a solution

hello raine et all,

i have the same problem with the main page that is showed instead of the actual page that it should (and is shown in the URL bar).
I know in my heart it has to be something with the .htaccess but cannot lay my finger on the soar spot ...:)

I even contacted my webhost about the error,
Nothing they can do,
I guess it must be the SEO URL didn't install correctly or something,
Anyone can help me,
Thanks,

Perhaps you do not have the latest version, or perhaps when you upgraded you missed 1 or more files. Latest version is 3.8.5 btw you can download it here

Post your .htaccess fle here so I can take a look at it, if you are using the latest version of simple seo.

Yep that is where i downloaded mine from,
Here is the code in the htaccess file in my root folder,

BOF SSU

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On

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

RewriteBase /zencart/

Deny access from .htaccess

RewriteRule ^.htaccess$ - [F]

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

EOF SSU

A link to you site would be helpful.

If your store is located at

www.yoursite.com/store for example then you need

RewriteBase /store/

of your store is located at

www.yoursite.com

then you need to use

RewriteBase /

Here is a link to my site,
http://www.youniverseonline.com/
I honestly wish i could just write the url by hand code,
But looking around it seems zen cart needs a plugin for this,
Thanks,

Let me ask you again is zen cart in the root of your server or in another folder?

zen cart template i have installed
/public_html/includes/templates/theme346
it all begins in the root folder,
is that what you meant or should i take a screen shot of the root folder,
Thanks,

yes that is what I mean, is zen cart insulation in the root of your server, or is it in a a sub folder.
You need to set your .htaccess file up like this then.
RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

If it is in a sub folder it need to be
RewriteBase /folder_name/

Here are 2 screen shots taken right now,
Hope this help answer more,
I dont think it is writebase,
Seem to be all in the root where it all begin,
Public html

Root folder

On the second screen shot Public html what is inside the includes folder? Is that part of simple seo, if it is you have files in the wrong place. They should all go where zen cart is installed in the first screen shot root.

Let me try this again. Disregard my last post On the second screen shot root what is inside the includes, admin folder? Is that part of simple seo, if it is you have installed the files in the wrong place. They should all go where zen cart is installed in the first screen shot Public html. You have to make sure you clear simple seo cache each time you make changes.

One more thing to keep in mind. Maybe to completely understand .htaccess stuff I want to clarify.

.htaccess need to go in the folder that it needs to control.
.htaccess RewriteBase or Base needs to be set relative to the folder structure of the domain. If installed in a sub directory of the domain, RewriteBase /subdir/

This has nothing to do with the root /public_html/ in your hosting account just with the location relative to the domains root.

Your domain root might be /public_html/mydomain but test zencart is installed /public_html/mydomain/testzen so .htaccess will be put in /public_html/mydomain/testzen but you have to set RewriteBase /testzen/
If just /public_html/mydomain/
it will be RewriteBase /
Every simple seo file and .htaccess needs to be under /public_html/mydomain/ to work. Hope this makes sense to you.

**May anyone who is claimed ‘totally zenned’ give some help? **

Hello everyone,

I have just installed SSU ver 3.8.5 as a module to my Zen-cart ver. v1.3.9f. Seems I have installed it all right, with the hand-edited html_output.php, module installer, using the htaccess that cam in package with ver 3.8.5, etc. The links that I see through the anchors are fine and clickable, however I have 2 immediate problems:

1. whenever any of the SEO links are followed, they KEEP REDIRECTING me to ‘index’ root page.
2. when ‘local.config.php’ (coming in package with ver 3.8.5) is enabled (my language code is RU), then returned is “500 Internal Server Error”. Both “SSU Status” and “SSU Multi Language Status” are true.

My environment is Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) PHP/5.2.9-1; MySQL: 5.0.67-community-nt

Can anyone please explain how to fix this or please direct me to where this is covered within this threat ?? (spent some 1 hour reading through the posts, but no luck).
