[CONTRIBUTION] Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1 - by Chemo


Recommended Posts

What do I need to do in httpd.conf? AllowOverride is set to All for everything, and mod_rewrite is getting loaded.

You may be heading down the wrong path. Tyr this first. Create a file named .htaccess and add these two lines to it

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^link([^/]*).html$ rewrite.php?link=$1 [L]

Create a directory named test in your root directory and upload that .htaccess file to it. Then goto http://your_domain_name.com/test/. If you get an Internal Server Error, mod_rwrite is not working. Otherwise it is. If it is, then you've most likely made a mistake in your .htaccess file for this contribution.

If a *nix server there are only possibly 4 issues

 

1) RewriteBase is set incorrectly

 

2) mod_rewrite is not compiled

 

3) AllowOverride does not have sufficient permissions

 

4) Options +FollowSymLinks needs to be commented out on some set ups

# Options +FollowSymLinks

# Options +FollowSymLinks

 

1 - RewriteBase is set to / in .htaccess (store is at www.mydomain.com, no catalog folder)

 

2 - I had an earlier version of SEO URLs working at one point. I had a freelancer look at some performance issues and he disabled this about 6 months ago while testing other stuff. I just realized it wasn't working, so I tried enabling again. This leads me to believe that mod_rewrite is compiled. (this is a plesk install)

 

3 - AllowOverride it set to All for every case in httpd.conf

 

4 - Tried commenting out in .htaccess and httpd.conf with no difference

Then we are misunderstanding the errors either post or if private pm me a link to the site.

Actually this doesn't make sense ..

I'm having issues with getting this contrib to work as well. I installed everything, but when I turn it on everything blows up. If I try to go to a link I just get a blank page. I swapped out the .htaccess as mentioned above and when I do that I get an internal server error. At that point everything is broken and I have to go in at the db level and disable the contrib. Anybody got any ideas?

 

If I try to go to a link I just get a blank page.

 

A standard link or just an seo urls link?

 

I swapped out the .htaccess as mentioned above and when I do that I get an internal server error.

 

Means incorrect set up of the server IF you changed the .htaccess correctly. Also if you had installed the contribution correctly the internal server error should have occurred anyway as it added RewriteRules itself.

I've been using chemo's original version without any problems for four years. Recently my hosting company upgraded to MySQL 5.0.77. I noticed the category names in the urls disappeared but the product urls were fine. I updated with the latest seo.class.php and it seems to have solved my problem. Can someone explain what changed? Does it have something to do with MySQL5 in strict mode? It makes me wonder what else might have broken from the mysql5 upgrade.

 

Thanks for the continued support of this great contribution.

Yes, it was mysql compatibility. It generally doesn't cause any other problems with regard to this contribution. However, with the latest version, you can't just replace the seo.class.php file since there have been other changes and missing those can cause problems. You should run through the install instructions.

Dear all,

 

Hope somebody can help me...

 

I would like to change the shop's URL from:

 

http://shop.domain.com/catalog

to

http://www.domain.com/shop/catalog

 

(This works well since the fysical directory structure remains the same)

 

However what would be the correct approach for Ultimate SEO?

 

Disable, flush cash and enable?

 

 

I am using version 2.1.

Ultimate seo urls, whether series 2 or USU5 will not be affected by this at all.

 

The contributions create the uri like my-great-product-p-32.html but that which precedes it is pure osCommerce .. so if your configure.php file is correct then ultimate seo urls can be left alone.

Hello there,

 

So if i understood correctly, if php server version is 5.0+

 

i need to install lastest mod ULTIMATE Seo Urls 5 - by FWR Media http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6768

 

??

 

because i've actually Ultimate SEO URLs v2.8 http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2823

 

and studently, the rewrite stopped working as it was before.

now instead having www.xxxxx.com/catalog/my-product-p33.html i've www.xxxxx.com/catalog/-p33.html

every product names categories names and so on are gone, i've just got product id or category id etc...

 

i think it's related with php version since i don't any other contrib thatg would break seo url.

 

so simply if php version is 5.0+ i need ULTIMATE Seo Urls 5 - by FWR Media right?

 

 

Thank you for your time!! Regards, Fabien.

If you have PHP5.2.X Fabien you can install either the old series 2 (careful which of the plethora of versions you choose as most are rubbish) or the new Ultimate Seo Urls 5.

 

It is entirely up to you, I developed the new version to provide a solid and supported seo url module using modern code.

No, not at all. Just install v 2.2d_5 and it will work fine.

Thanks for you answer, but when I try to do that I get a 404

 

current situation:

http://shop.modelbrouwers.nl/catalog/schuur-en-polijstset-speciaal-voor-plastic-en-resin-p-2086.html

 

desired situation:

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/shop/catalog/schuur-en-polijstset-speciaal-voor-plastic-en-resin-p-2086.html'>http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/shop/catalog/schuur-en-polijstset-speciaal-voor-plastic-en-resin-p-2086.html (404)

 

 

While the catalog root

http://www.modelbrouwers.nl/shop/catalog/

DOES work.

 

 

Do you have any clue? Thanks again!

Yes of course that will happen, your sites configure files are still set at the old values and your .htaccess RewriteBase is still set as /catalog/.

 

For it to work as you require the includes/configure.php file has to be changed to match the new path and the RewriteBase has to be changed to /shop/catalog/

Hi. I am having a problem with Ultimate SEO URLS v2.2 D5, and I think the solution is simple but I am just overlooking something. What happens is when I click on either a product or category, the site just redirects back to the home page, but the URL in the address bar is still the search engine friendly URL of the product/category. Not sure if somebody would know why this is happening, but you can see it on the site here http://www.1080online.com

 

Any help at all is appreciated, thanks.

I don't think that's a problem with Ultimate SEO. Please post your .htaccess file.

Below is my htaccess file, and the rewrite base is set correctly so that could not be the problem:

Do you have register_globals enabled on the server, possible in a php.ini file?
