Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

cleverpork:

404 Not Found

The requested URL /~beamerfi/catalog/checkout_shipping?zenid=8718cb260b3a12ed9c7f071fddb38bc1 does not exist.

Bummer, I'm getting emails from customers that can't checkout. I've just taken the site "down for maintenance."

Truly, this is a great upgrade for me, and I WANT to use it. But I'm sort of needing help quickly. Is there anybody who can help me out on this? I really really appreciate it.

I'm kinda' stuck! I'm reading every single post and finding nada (at least that makes sense to me). Thanks,

cris

Still reading and looking for help on this. :blink:

I'm getting this error on beamerfilms.com after selecting the "go to checkout" button.

404 Not Found

The requested URL /~beamerfi/catalog/checkout_shipping?zenid=8718cb260b3a12ed9c7f071fddb38bc1 does not exist.

Some other relevant info that may help is that I'm running
Zen Cart 1.3.7

PHP Version 5.2.6

Seems to me it's probably just renamed something, but I have no idea what. Or what to do with that info if I did know. I've taken my site offline and am really feeling the pressure to get it back up and running. I fear undoing this may be a touch more work than actually fixing it. Blah.

I'm in over my head.

Can anybody chime in this afternoon? I sure appreciate it.

Didnt you notice something weird:
~beamerfi/catalog

Why do you have ~beamerfi there?

You may have misconfigured your includes/configure.php.

thanks for the reply! I know you've labored over this... been reading all the posts...

As for the includes/configure.php file. I haven't touched it. Forgive my ignorance, but I do know that's the icons and naming conventions that my host uses so I've seen that string of naming before. So, I suppose it didn't look odd.

I'm about to go into that php file and act like I know what I'm doing. Any advice here? What should that URL read?

Again, thanks! I'm hoping I can get this working. It's exactly what I wanted to find for seo reasons. I believe once this is tested and tried, folks are gonna' see a difference in their SE results.

PM me your ftp info if you want me to fix it for you quickly.
Otherwise, post the content of your .htaccess file and your includes/configure.php here

okie, here is an update:
cleverpork's site was using shared ssl, so when you click on the https link it will direct you to different domain, in our case we have
normal link:
http://thesite.com/catalog
https link:
https://some_shared_ssl_link.com/~subfolder/catalog

And here is the fix which appears to be working fine:

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /~subfolder/catalog/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

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

# STRIP THE REWRITEBASE RULE FROM NON-SSL CONNECTIONS.
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/~subfolder/
RewriteRule ^(.*) /catalog/index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU
```On a side note, I notice that when ZC is placed under subfolder, some of you set configure.php like this:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com/subfolder');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com/~username/subfolder');

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/subfolder/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~username/subfolder/');

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.site.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.site.com');

  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/subfolder/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~username/subfolder/');
```So basically, the http ones should contain only the domain name, no sub folders at all.

Good information! 

Also, wanted to give a quick reason why some of us set it up that way. I found the zen-cart tutorial that guided me toward that. It's found here, if that matters.

I just have to say thanks a billion for spending hours on helping me out with all this. Seriously, amazing support on this.

yellow,

I am trying to get this to work and have installed module manager and SSU. All seems to be fine as I am not getting any errors, but te pages are not changing.

New install 2 products but although the url changes in the browser to say the product page.html for example it is not actually changing from the main index page.

What have I missed?

Thanks

MG

Post the link to your site here.

Regards

I am attempting to install this module but getting errors in the first step: installing module manager.
-----------------------------------------------------
Warning: file(C:/xampp/htdocs/ladywig/admin/includes/module_installation/install.sql) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\ladywig\admin\includes\classes\module_installer.php on line 201
.submit_link { color: #0000ff; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: none; border: none; } Error: Nothing to do - no query or query-file specified. Failed to set up version tracker table

This is what I get in Admin --> Tools --> Module Manager (in my test site).
If clicking on the actions I get even more errors.
So I looked in the troubleshooting section for this module and there is no admin\includes\module_installation folder.
Also, I ran the sql patch from Admin --> Tools --> Install SQL patches.
I know, I know that instructions say that no sql patch is needed, but why is there an SQL snippet there?
What am I supposed to do with it?
I can easily restore DB from backup so that is not a problem.
Please somebody explain what I am doing wrong in the installation process.
I wish install instructions were clearer...
Thanks.

Oh, it's simple, you seem to be missing the sql file.

Maybe you can try to download the module and upload it again:

Thanks for quick answer, but still no joy.
I messed up the module before installation, like so:
I moved the docs folder out of the folder structure because that should not be installed, then I got confused and also moved the module_installation folder out and ran the SQL.
So to fix I dropped the module_installation folder to admin\includes\ and restored DB from backup.
Now I get different error:

Failed: 1
ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Failed to set up version tracker table

I can always restore the whole site from backup, including DB.
Then download module zip again and reinstall without modifying folder structure, I can always move out docs folder later.
Do you think that is the way to go?

Oh, easy, here goes:
"After installing itself, this module writes a file named ".keep" in admin\includes\module_installation, if your server doesnt allow it to do so, it may make the module attempting to install itself everytime. The fix is easy though, just manually create a .keep file there (after the module has already installed itself, of course)"

Thanks for sticking with me there.
So now I got rid of the errors.
But nothing happens when I click on actions, e.g. List all modules, nothing, all blank.
Same when I click on Install new modules: Found and attempted to install 0 new modules
Is this normal?

No it is not normal. When you list on the installed module, do you see ssu listed?

PS: PM your admin info if you want me to look into it for you.

No, as I said, List all modules doesn't show anything, no ssu.
I cannot PM admin info, because I am on a local site.
I always try to get things straightened out there before going live.
However, I can install this on live site if necessary.
You let me know.
Oh, wait, I haven't installed ssu yet, just module manager, so should I continue with SSU?
Am I good so far?

Well, I believe you missed the sql needed, which are included in the ssu package, somewhere in admins/includes/module_manager/ssu

Yellow I think he should do a backup of his data base on his local hard drive then re-install the module manager and seo and don't forget to add the keep file if it doesn't create it. See what happens then. I believe that will clear things up for you.

Yellow,
ssu wasn't there because I haven't installed SSU yet.
That ssu folder is in the SSU/admin/includes/templates/templates/ssu
My question is really simple: I'm not getting errors in module manager now, but not getting anything either, so should I continue with the installation of SSU anyway?
Just a remark: isn't that templates/templates/ structure redundant?
countrycharm,
I have already restored everything from backup and installed module manager, as described above.
I think that tomorrow will continue with SSU, too late now.
Sorry, I am extra cautious and test every step.
I think that tomorrow everything will be resolved.
Thanks a lot.

templates/templates/ because i use the same structure with zen, so you can later have templates/css/ ^_^

I do have a mini template class inside the module manager ^_^

Yup, if you do not get any more error, then it's good.
