Simple SEO URL (OLD version) [support thread]

Hi there,

Just a quick note that ZenMagick now supports Simple SEO URLs via a new plugin.
Simple SEO URLs needs to be installed and the plugin will take care that URLs generated by ZenMagick will use SSU.
As usual, no core file changes required ;)

Cheers, mano

Well, attempted to install SSU.
No problems there, except for the fact that I am using XAMPP on Windows and I stumbled on step 2 b. of installation instructions:
Go to path_to_cache_folder/ssu, set this "ssu" folder's and all its subfolders permission to 0777
Now, the only thing I can do in Windows is to modify the read-only attribute. It wouldn't take, coming back as read-only all the time. So started to go further up, attempted to change permissions in cache, no joy either. Went up to root, nothing there, everything is back to read-only.
The problem is that my test site is now inaccessible and so is Admin:
Server error!

        The server encountered an internal error and was      unable to complete your request. Either the server is     overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.      

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500

I don't think this is caused by changing permissions, since they are all back to read-only.
I didn't modify anything in folder structure.
Path to cache is OK in both configure.php files.
.htaccess changed to RewriteBase / since Zen Cart is installed in the root.
Thanks for continuing support.

500 error:
This is usually caused by .htaccess mis-configured

windows:
I developed the module using xampp with winxp as well, have no problem with it

Maybe you post your zencart configure.php and .htaccess here? (and the location of this .htaccess)

Here are the files you requested.
Location of .htaccess is root folder.

Just my silly question, but why do you have?
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.example.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.example.com');

Also, you have:
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'C:/xampp/htdocs/ladywig/');

So shouldnt you have

RewriteBase /ladywig/

Just my silly question, but why do you have?
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.example.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.example.com');

That is because I followed instructions in the Zen Cart manual.
Instead of having localhost the author recommends to create a domain with redirection to 127.0.0.1 so https://www.example.com is my local domain.
In the live server the domain is top level so Rewrite Base would be OK without anything after it.
I already added /ladywig/ to RewriteBase in .htaccess but still getting the 500 error.
Thanks again, your support is truly extraordinary and the main reason why I chose this contrib over others, apart from other reasons, like support for EZ pages.

You should have a more detailed error message found in:

<xampp-dir>/apache/logs/error.*log

That may help us to solve this problem

If you use xampp, mod_rewrite is not enabled by default.

SUCCESS!
Everything is OK now.
I uncommented the Load mod_rewrite in httpd.conf following instructions here:

Thanks, yellow.

I am testing locally so no URL however I seem to have now got this working - if I make the extension blank in the admin> config settings.

If I try to add any ending eg .html it stops working and only deliveres the index page.

Is there a fix. I can of course leve it bank but there is no .extension on the URL.

Thanks

Michael

I will look into this issue tomorrow.

Regards

Okie, dont add .html, add html only

See demo:

Me again, still battling errors.
When I click on a category I get a URL like this:
http://www.example.com/ladywig/cSSU_ID_DELIMITER5
and a redirect to my error page.
Numbers at the end of the URL vary.
I followed all instructions in yellow's last post, including setting all AllowOverride All.

This was encountered by someone else, maybe I should put this in the readme:

Reset the cache and it will fix itself

I need an UNINSTALL for this mod. I installed it back in 2007. It has never worked right for me. And now I believe it is interfering with some other mods working correctly. How can I completely uninstall this mod? I have removed all of the files, but it still appears in the admin. Thanks.

btw - I am using ZC version 1.3.8

I've just installed SSU on a fresh install.
ZC - 1.3.8a, SSU - beta 2.1, Module manager
I've used SSU plenty of times before but not this version.

I know I have installed everything as I have been over all the files 3 times.

2 problems.

Firstly - When I access ssu.php under Extras > SSU manager I get this error:
Error Failed: 1
Error ERROR: Cannot create table module_version_tracker because it already exists
Warning Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
Error Failed to set up version tracker table

Is this something to worry about (it's an error so yes!) and how can I remove this?

Second problem:
I'm using a fake home.html page for now until the store is ready.
When I try to access index.php I get sent back to the main URL - domain.com/index.php redirects to domain.com
I have set up index in the exclude list and DirectoryIndex in the htaccess.

Cheers.

No way you have it back in 2007? Im sorry but this module is released on may 2008
