404 when enabled

[chipshot]

when I enable the SEO URL the browser can't locate my products?

 

for example if I click a product I get this: (http://www.chipshotgolfacademy.com/catalog/fairway-woods-p-87.html?osCsid=98f66363c11548d715097923ce70da55) in the URL.

But this 404 page (The requested URL /catalog/fairway-woods-p-87.html was not found on this server.)

 

When I disable Ultimate SEO URL's everything is normal?

 

As far as I can tell the installation went good. in the .htaccess file I have RewriteBase /catalog/ and the store sits in the catalog folder, I assume this is correct?

what am I missing?

 

here's a snap of my settings:

It appears that you currently have the Search Engine Friendly option enabled in admin->Configuration. That should be turned off.

I don't understand if I don't enable what's the point of having this function?

 

Thank You

The option in admin has nothing to do with the contribution you are using. It is one that comes with oscommerce and has never worked well on all servers.

well it appears that the .htaccess is not properly placed or rewrite rules are not allowed on the server.

 

 

Ask YOur hosting for rewrite url issue or write a simple rewrite rule and chek.

 

Also make sure Your .htacess exist and is at a proper place.

Thank You,

 

what's the sense of installing the contribution if I can't have it enabled right?

 

here's my .htaccess file it sits right in www/catalog/

 

all I did was add the last few lines according to the instructions:

 

# $Id: $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

# <IfDefine SSL>

# SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

# nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

# downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

# </IfDefine>

#</IfModule>

 

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the

# following Apache configuration parameter

 

# AcceptPathInfo On

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

# php_value register_globals 1

 

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /catalog/

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-(.*).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-(.*).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-(.*).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-(.*).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-(.*).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-(.*).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-(.*).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

 

So if this all appears to be good then I need to rewrite rules on the server?

And if I need to do that can you advise what actually needs to be done so I can relate that to my host...

 

Thank You..

htaccess appears to be OK.

YOu need to chek with Your hosting company as mod rewrite is what needs to be there on the server environment.

Your confusing what was said. The Ultimate SEO contribution is turned on and off via the option in admin->Configuration->My Store->SEO Url's while the one I mentioned is in admin->Configuration->My Store. They are two, unrelated settings but if the latter is turned on, it can cause problems with the former.

Oh!! Thank You, Jack I'm sorry I misunderstood, but yet the problem still exists.

 

In Admin -> Configuration -> My Store -> Use Search-Engine Safe URL's (still in development) = false

 

In Admin -> SEO URL's -> Enable SEO URLs? = true

 

My Friendly URL is appearing int the Address Bar (http://www.chipshotgolfacademy.com/catalog/gift-cards-c-37.html)

 

But a 404 Not Found The requested URL /catalog/gift-cards-c-37.html was not found on this server.

 

Are these settings the way it should be?

 

Thank You,

John

Thank You toyicebear, my web host tells me that the answer was kind of vague. He needs a little more information what module? rewrite url issue? Do I need to mod the mod? <Confused>

Ask if the server/hosting supports mod rewrite

 

 

Att..if its a windows server , in most cases it will not support mod rewrite by .htaccess
