SEO problem

[holliep]

After installing ultimate SEO the links were naming correctly but I was getting a 404 error message instead of the page. I have now turned off SEO url's but I am getting the following message above the header:

e('WARN_SESSION_DIRECTORY_NOT_WRITEABLE', 'true'); define('WARN_SESSION_AUTO_START', 'true'); define('WARN_DOWNLOAD_DIRECTORY_NOT_READABLE', 'true'); ?>

 

I can't find much in the archives but i'll be happy to be pointed in the right direction.

thanks in advance

Looks like you munged your includes/application_top.php file. Try restoring it from a backup prior to installing the SEO contrib or restore it from the stock version found in the OSC install zip file. Restoring from the OSC stock zip is less optimal than the first option in case you have other contributions that required you to alter this file.

Thanks KG. I found I had an extra spare line in - i'm surprised it had this effect. I have now removed ultimate SEO completely and i'm contemplating which contribution to use instead. I believe being on a shared server may be part of the problem.

That contribution works fine on a shared server. My guess is that you didn't have the .htaccess file setup correctly.

You've got me thinking now!

When I added code to the HT access file it contained the following:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /

 

My store is located in the catalog directory. Does this mean the code should have read:

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /catalog/

Yes, that's correct.

Yes, that's correct.
