Error - Unabel To Determine The Page Link

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I'm reltively new to oscom though have spent the last month or so building a store. Getting near completion and i go browsing and find there's a problem with the catalogue.

 

Getting through categories is fine, but when it comes to the items (which are acknowledged in brackets by the category as being there) this happens:

anyone know why?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Matt

Be sure you have the Search Engine Friendly option turned off in admin->Configuration.

I suggest you try the Ultimate SEO contribution - works much better.

what exactly does ultimate SEO do?

[Jack_mcs]

It rewrites the url's. In your shop now, you might click on a product have the link display as http://www.somesite.com/product_info.php?p...4346ea40979c34f.

 

With Ultimate SEO, it would be more like

http://www.somesite.com/some-product-p-25.html.

 

The url's are better for the search engines as well as your customers.

I toggled that SearchEngine switch again, and toggled the TellA-Friend.

 

But then realized my host had upgraded their cPanel, and along with it, probably PHP, and the also had put some kind of FastCGI for PHP thingie in there. I had turned that FastCGI for PHP "on" last week, and never went back to check out the site.

 

As soon as I turned of the FastCGI for PHP ... it was THEN that all the pages were working again <whew>...The only thing not working now, is email being sent from the osCommerce.

neither tell-a-friend, nor email from the admon>"send email" section. And I have a big email to blast out this afternoon. I'll keep looking.
