somersetboy Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi I seem to have a problem since my server people upgraded something in their server. For several days I could not figure out what the difference was. Recently I have learnt that the php has been divorced from apache and runs as a standalone cgi thingy. The file path generated by oscommerce when a category is clicked on for instance is: http://2mix.co.uk/shop2mix/index.php/cPath/23? but since last Sunday what the Server is expecting is http://2mix.co.uk/shop2mix/index.php?cPath=23 Now what my OSCommerce does is give the path as shown in the former. This formaer path now generates an error. "Error! Unable to determine the page link!" But the list of itmes or sub-categories gets listed as normal if the file path is as the latter example. Which unfortunately is not what is generated automatically. But what I now require is Oscommerce to format the path as shown in the latter example. After a lot of soul-searching I have found out that http://2mix.co.uk/shop2mix/index.php?cPath=23 is the correct url format that the server is able to resolve. But How do I make OSCommerce to resolve urls using this format now? Whatever it is it is now imperative that the "/" based address is not getting resolved. and I need to change the part of OScommerce that is responsible for generating this path format. This is very urgent and I am loosing a lot as this things has not been resolved. I have tried to solve it on my own by going through the codes. I cant find it and I desperately need help to solve this issue. Urgent help is requested please else I am very close to overdosing on sleeping pills or something :o thanks Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somersetboy Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 go into your admin -> configuration -> my store and check if the search engine friendly URLs are set to true if yes, set to false, if no, let us know Hi Monica, That seems to have done it. What implications does this have on the search engine crawlers or 'bots' like googlebot? Does this mean the crawlers will drop out not being able to find the pages? Once again thanks a million. you saved my day. regards Dee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Monika in Germany Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm sure you have some other search engine friendly url mod installed. Check you configuration table in admin, or even in phpmyadmin. :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

KPGroup Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm sure you have some other search engine friendly url mod installed. Check you configuration table in admin, or even in phpmyadmin. This is a fresh install of MS2 (051113). [it was a 1-click install from FANTASTICO] The only contributions installed is "Fixed prices for different currencies" (#4445). I also deleted spanish and german languages and have added french and canadian english (copy of us english). I checked my configuration (both in Admin and phpmyadmin). Nothing else related to search engine friendly url's. The stock one is also set to false. The mystery is getting thicker :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPGroup Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Any other ideas about where to look or what could be the cause? It's all fixed. I deleted the US english and reinstalled new fresh language files. All my links are good now. Not sure what was wrong with the files but I am happy it's all sorted out :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
