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

Hi, with regard to:

  1. whenever any of the SEO links are followed, they KEEP REDIRECTING me to ‘index’ root page.

I'm not entirely sure, but check your .htaccess at the site root and if it says 'RewriteBase /Zencart/' try changing this to 'RewriteBase /'

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

That is not a key to the problem, all is well with the re-write base, if the base is set wrongly, the 404 error is returned.

Amazingly, everything seems to be WORKING FINE on the different environment: Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) PHP/5.2.14 with Suhosin-Patch mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8n

I will just go ahead with whatever is workable. Will let everyone know when I fix my local ‘zen-cart+simple seo’ installation at WAMP environment. Thanks anyhow.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I noticed my ZenID was hanging around in my URLS ever since I installed SSU. There are a few posts on my problem in this thread. I was never able to fix it until just now.

All I did was add
RewriteCond %{http_host} ^nintendoparts.com.au
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.nintendoparts.com.au/$1 [R=301,L]

to my .htaccess file, it fixed the problem straight away.

But now I have another problem with SSU, possibly related to my new .htaccess file, I'm not sure:
I just added a new product to my site and the product URL is showing as:

.nintendoparts.com.au/ds-lite-other-parts/products-name

all my older product URL's are showing just fine though eg:

.nintendoparts.com.au/ds-lite-cases/ds-lite-black-case

Any ideas as to what's going on here?

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Ok I have been doing quite a bit of digging and I can't seam to find a good initial setup how too for this SEO URL mod.

I have installed everything and did get my site working, but I am having issues now loading my test product page. I end up getting a 404 error with seo set to true. Any info or suggestions would be great. I can pass on url via pm.

Current mods include: Languages (EN,ES,FR,DU,IT), custom template, zen light box, ttp, captcha, image handler 2, sale report.

Solved the problem, I just needed to clear the SEO URLS cache under EXTRAS>Simple SEO URL's Manager

It can not be emphasize enough whenever you delete categories, delete products, when making changes to any URL'S to clear the cache right away under EXTRAS>Simple SEO URL's Manager.

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

I am trying to get Simple SEO to work on an IIS 7 server that has the Helicontech ISAPI_Rewrite v3 software installed. This offers .htaccess support. However although SSU installed without errors and appears in the Zen admin, it isnt rewriting the product /category links.

In the support documentation for Helicontech it says the "[E=var:val] set environment variable" has no relevance in a Windows environment. So, I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this, or should I look at another rewrite system? Has anyone had a success with any of the rewriters in a Windows environment? (I'd switch to linux but I have other sites on the same package using IIS)

I don't know much about IIS but you can read this here.

yellow1912:

  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

Re: Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Howdy, all.

I'll keep this brief. After hours and hours of installing and troubleshooting, I have to give up. I even purchased the install pack from the developer (mid last week), but never heard from them. I'm at a loss.

So, I've tried to uninstall it by deleting all files.

HOWEVER, I have an issue occurring. This issue was occurring when SSU was installed. It is still present.

In admin, it was throwing a 404 error when I selected catalog/categories, which lead me to the url mystore/admin/categories.php.

Now that I've deleted all the files and cleared my cache in multiple browser, it's still linking to mystore/admin/categories.php instead of the old long string.

How do I clear this out since I've deleted all of SSU files?

I hope when you deleted all the files you deleted the cache/ssu files too. If you didn't that is probably the problem.

I did delete the cache/ssu files. Good thinking, though. I managed to get the "categories" page working -- that was my error. Somehow, I managed to move the categories.php file from the admin area... ??? I have no idea how that happened.

BUT, somehow in the admin area, SSU still seems to be working (even though I meticulously deleted every file). I'm confused how it's still recreating the new URL if it's uninstalled.

Any thoughts?

    If you are using the current version of simple seo 3.8.8 it doesn not cache half as many files that it use to. You can download it from his site here. Yes you can just use French read the online documentation on how to. Yes I'm afraid module manger is required to use this module.

Currently this process has to be done manually. Generally you just have to go through the installation steps, but backward.

  1. Revert .htaccess back to normal.
  2. Revert the changes made to html_output.php
  3. Remove new files uploaded during the installation
  4. Then in admin→tools→sql patch runs

If you didn't run the uninstall code you need to do so in admin/tools/install_sql_patches.

SET @t4=0;
SELECT (@t4:=configuration_group_id) as t4
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Simple SEO URL';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @t4;
DROP TABLE 5.1/en/control-flow-functions.html">IF EXISTS links_aliases;

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.
You can post your current .htaccess content here so we can take a look at it. A 404 error is most of the time cause by a .htaccess error.

One more thing if you want this module to work correctly you need to get rid of everything that deals with Ultimate SEO URLs. These two module will not work together. Either use one or the other.
