Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Ultimate SEO worked fantastic on my test server but once implemented on my domains a problem occured with the cache. I have multiple virtual domains on a shared server set up in the usual way like the following: /root/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/catalog/ /root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/catalog/ All using the same database & image folder The cache is in the catalog folder so when I set it up in admin with the path as: /root/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/catalog/cache it works fine for the domain1 site but when I go to another domain I get the following error: Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/root/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/catalog/cache/seo_english.cache) is not within the allowed path(s): (/root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in /root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/seo_cache.php on line 159 Warning: fopen(/root/httpd/vhosts/domain1.com/httpdocs/catalog/cache/seo_english.cache): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/seo_cache.php on line 159 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/seo_cache.php on line 160 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /root/httpd/vhosts/domain2.com/httpdocs/catalog/includes/seo_cache.php on line 161 Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 is thhere anyway round this problem? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes...in application_top.php (for each domain that is not going to use the database value) at the very top add this code: define('SEO_URLS_CACHE_DIR', '/your/new/path/'); define('SEO_URLS_CACHE_COMPRESS', 'true'); Make sure you put it at the TOP of application_top.php! This will override the database value and all should be well...you'll be able to define the cache directory per domain. Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top_Speed Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 KJ Miller, If you have run the database install script twice and now have 2 entries for SEO URLs re-run the install script and choose the uninstall link. This will remove both sets of entries. Next, run the install script again to install a single setting group. Fill in the correct configuration values again. In the future, there is no need to run the install database settings script unless it has not been run previously. The extra steps are for the buy now button and column. It has been reported on this thread there are 2 bugs which that code corrects. I have several instant messenger accounts (AIM, MSN, and Yahoo) and can usually be found online...just contact me and I'll walk you through any other issues. Bobby <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Bobby, Did that and it removed like you said, I reinstalled and setup. All good.... Maybe you should alter your html instruction page under "Upgrade" as you have this step in there. That would help any future upgraders. Now for my question (hey, great contribs get this i guess) I changed some dir names in my "Categories". I deleted the english cache file that was in the cache and refreshed but the url paths were still the old names? Thanks for your input.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Could it be that the categories box is still cached? Go to Admin Contol Panel -> Cache Control -> Rest each cache file. That should take care of it... Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thank you for your kind remarks! I would use cache as it increases performance of each page (less queries). Upon editing a category or product the cache files should automatically be reset...I would look into fixing the root problem so you don't have to reset the cache manually every time.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Bobby, I have a question that is a bit off topic (yet still deals with se's and speed) I have my shop located in a catalog directory and want to set it up so that when someone goes to my site they only put is www.mutzigcreations.com and not www.mutzigcreations.com/catalog I don't want to move the files to the root, and I was wondering if I could tap your experience with the best way to setup the redirect. I found a contribution (spiderfriendly redirect w/o hesitation) and this is what it suggested: Solution.1. Create a text file and name it index.php 2. Copy the code below and paste it in. Make sure there is nothing else in the document. Also change the catalog/index.php to the location of your default/index.php oscommerce file. <!-- Start Code --> <? header("Location: catalog/index.php"); ?> <!-- End Code --> 3. Save the file and upload it to your primary root directoy. I talked with my host and this is what they suggested: Hello Doug,I have double checked with a tech and found a better solution, this will do what you ask please disregard the other link and put this into your htaccess file: RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mutzigcreations.com$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !catalog/ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ catalog/$1 What would you suggest as the easiest, fastest, more seo friendly way of doing it? again sorry to ask here, but I figure others are looking for your insight into this too.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Go back and take a look at that contribution...I uploaded a correct release for it. The problem with the ones suggested were they sent 302 headers and NOT the proper 301 headers. I would simply add the .htaccess entries as outlined in my revised release of that contribution to the file located in the ROOT directory. The one in the /catalog/ directory should not be touched since it is for the rewrite of the store URLs. Of course, the code offered by your host is another way of redirecting but does not add the 301 headers. Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I can't tell you how much I have learned in the past 6 months playing with this, breaking that etc.. I took your advice and downloaded your update to the spiderfriendly contrib.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Nice site! However, look at this URL: Pens Category Instead of showing the "No products found" message it should output a list of subcats...might want to look into that.

Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Thank you, and yes I have a question out on the forums on it. I am not sure what is the cause of the problem.

It's possible? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Posted by Bobby in an earlier post (page 5) of this thread.... That is a known issue IF you use the dropdown menu. If you use the dropdown it constructs the URL's through other code and does NOT use tep_href_link() which is the heart of the Ultimate SEO URLs contribution. I will post code to get those worked out. I did not get it in the current release since I wanted to get feedback on the functionality of the basics before adding other areas...it makes for easier and faster debugging that way.

gv Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Hi, guys Installed this contrib... works like a Swiss watch.

EricK Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Bobby, Thank you for the Ultimate SEO contribution :-D it is truly awesome! I have two questions for you about duplicate URLs: 1. Froogle Data Feed Does your Data Feed contribution submit stock osC URLs for product pages, similar to the basic Froogle Exporter? If so, it there a way to submit Ultimate SEO URLs? 2. Site Map MS2-2.2 (abstracted from 2.2-MS3 CVS snapshot) This excellent Site map displays sub-category URLs as standard osC format, Example: Pens Site Map I tried including sitemap.php in your .htaccess, but it did not change anything. Does a reference to Ultimate SEO need to be included in the classes file used for building the category tree " included/classes/category_tree.php"? Again, many thanks for your contributions.

djo Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I installed the Ultimate SEO URL contrib a couple of days ago. It seemed to be working fine. But I did discover a problem yesterday. When adding products, a few go through OK, then I started getting "Page cannot be found". Then, after a while it might let me add another product, and then it will stop again. The problem would happen when I would click the "update", "delete" or sometimes even "edit" button. It's very sporadic, sometimes it works, usually it doesn't. And only on the admin side. Any idea why this might happen? also, should the SEO Cache dir. be different then the other Cache dir.? Here are my server specs: Server OS: FreeBSD 4.10-SATA-RELEASE HTTP Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP Version: 4.3.4 (Zend: 1.3.0) Database: MySQL 4.0.18 I appreciate any help, I would really like to keep this contribution.
