Guest Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I've got such a headache from reading through the thread and checking various versions to figure out which one to use. It sounds like yours is the most current, stable, complete package and the one we should be using. Just to be clear, are you referring to the download marked: 2.1d ORIGINAL updated Uploaded by FWR Media on 23 Feb 2008 If so are there any issues with it that need to be addressed or is it golden just the way it is? I hope I'm not being a pain. It just looks like a long and complicated install and I'd hate to put all that effort into the wrong version :) That is the one.

php_Guy Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 That is the one. Thank you! I actually crossed my fingers and installed it already so I am very happy to get verification that it was the right one :) I was also very pleased to see that it was actually a very quick and simple install. Not sure why I thought it would be difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi, Just installed Ultimate SEO URLs version 2.1.d on my test shop which is running locally. When I try to access the home page, I get 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 If I remove the extra (new!) stuff from the .htaccess file I get the home page, but clicking on a category gives me a Object not found! The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error. If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster. Error 404 (obviously because the page redirection isn't working because I removed it!) SO should this work when run locally? If so, what directory should I have in my .htaccess file - I currently have /catalog/ as my store is in http://localhost/catalog/ Many thanks, Lucy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanie Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Lucy, it sounds like you haven't got the mod_rewrite Apache module installed. Find where your Apache is installed and locate the 'conf\httpd.conf' file. Open it and search for this line: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so If you see a '#' in front of it this means it is currently disabled, so remove the '#' and save the file. Restart Apache and try your catalogue again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Sorry for the stupid newb question.. How do we even begin to install this??? Where do we upload it to on the server before install? Into the includes/ like the rest of the contributions. maybe a README file with instructions would come in handy in the package for people that recently download it? Looks like a great Contribution :) Keep up the good work. I have everything downloaded locally and ready to upload to the server. Just waiting on where to upload it now :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toyz Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hello all, I just installed 'Ultimate_SEO_URLSv21d_UPDATED-07-NOV-2008' onto my clean fresh installed osC MS2 2.2 and I have some problems getting it working in the right order. After reading the last 20 pages in this thread I haven't found a solution for my problem. My .htaccess file (located in /catalog/) #Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /catalog/ RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-([0-9]+).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-([0-9]+).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-([0-9]+).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-([0-9]+).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-([0-9]+).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} What does it do (wrong)? The URL which is constructed by the contrib is like: http://localhost/xampp/catalog/swat-close-...05286cec225e43d which looks kinda good. Althought, the page is directed to an 404-error. Error 404 localhost 11/10/08 15:34:48 Apache/2.2.9 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8i mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.6 If I remove the ?osCid= part manually the same things happens. Same goes for clicking a categorie from the list. I am using the default settings mentioned in the installtion html file added in the contrib downloaded file.

Is allow overide set to all in apache.conf. Basically if your settings are correct then no 404 message.

Well I don't know then .. it is something to do with your settings which you will have to sort out because the contribution has no issues. Is http://localhost/xampp/catalog/ a correct path? normally localhost would be in a directory like www or public_html. I don't use xamp as I prefer to set up my local server manually with the latest packages .. my localhost for example resides at .. C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\. Good luck with it but please don't fill up this thread with personal localhost issues as it is not an issue with the contribution itself. Perhaps you could start a thread in general like "xamp issues".
