Hi,
Is SEO supposed to work if one is trailing CSC for 60 days?
Gobbo
hi,
i want to turn on seo addon,but i don’t know why is not working.I read all this thread several times,knowledge base and threads related to .htacess also.I need some advanced advice please…everything check.mod_rewrite On,cs cart and .htacess in the /shop folder,htacess modified to RewriteBase /shop.
this is my .htacess
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
RewriteEngine on
Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented
Example:
Your store url is [url]http://www.yourcompany.com/store/cart[/url]
So “RewriteBase” should be:
RewriteBase /store/cart
RewriteBase /shop
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !.(png|gif|ico|swf|jpe?g|js|css)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} ./catalog/.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteRule . index.php?sef_rewrite=1 [L,QSA]
note that in the root folder (public_html/) there’s a joomla install wich is running sef url’s with no problems.Also i contacted my host and they said the only place i could get help was with the software developers…

Any tips?:rolleyes:
Did you create a subdomain for cscart or did you just add the folder? Your root htaccess may be interfering with cscarts htaccess.
Hi,
I just used as a sub folder,not sub domain…
I just created a sub domain now for the folder shop(www.shop.mydomain.com) to try your suggestion,but i’m having some problems regarding the sub domain… for some reason dysplays like this now
Do you know wich changes should be done in config.php to set up cs for the sub domain?
I did this:
// Host and directory where cs-cart is installed on usual server
$cscart_http_host = ‘www.shop.funky-sheila.co.uk’;
$cscart_http_dir = ‘/’;
should i have to modify here also: $db_host = ‘localhost’; ?
I don’t know if i have to change something in DB as well.
Thanks for the tips…sef might work now…
---------------------------------------------------------------
edit:
i just reverted the changes,as i don’t know what could happen with google’s index.The error was like,i think,a .htcacess sef rewrite issue.
you know when it doesn’t display images?just links see screen shoot
This is not a db problem. A db problem would you show something like this:
Error: Cannot connect to the database server
It’s in your config file or maybe cache. Try to delete the all files in /var/cache and all items in /var/compiled/.
Can you provide your URL here?
If it’s not the cache, then it’s definitely the config file or htaccess.

- Your panel will create the subfolder automatically, creating a folder in your root and then assign a subdomain to it is wrong. That may cause some problems.
- If you choose a subdomain then there is a failure:
[quote]// Host and directory where cs-cart is installed on usual server
$cscart_http_host = ‘www.shop.funky-sheila.co.uk’;
[COLOR=Red]$cscart_http_dir = ‘/’;[/COLOR]
should be:
[COLOR=Blue]$cscart_http_dir = ‘’;[/COLOR] // without a slash inside the ’ '
[/quote]That’s all, now it will work again.
hi Indy,
thanks a bunch,it works now!it was just the “/”
but there’s 2 things i don’t understand…why you said is WRONG to make the folder and AFTER asign a sub domain for that folder,if it works?
the folder containing the sub domain,/shop ,is still acessible,altough it displays now with the “/” error.Correct me if i’m wrong.Any sub domain created via cpanel,example:
www.shop.mydomain.com can be acessed trough it’s own folder www.mydomain/shop?!?!?!?!?!!?or i have this folder acessible just for the fact i created first the folder and after the sub domain?
Usually you should use the cPanel to create the folder assigned for the subdomain. Yes, it works as well as you said but sometimes it can cause some problems.
Also,do you know about cannonical urls for the sub domain…
should i redirect shop.funky-sheila.co.uk to www.shop.funky-sheila.co.uk ?
thanks for the help

I don’t know what do you mean, but if you put the ‘www’ prefix in your ‘config.local.php’ file, then your URL will be crawled only with ‘www’. You don’t have to change anything else, just tell Google in webmaster tools to use the right URL (with- or without www).
Hi,
Is SEO supposed to work if one is trailing CSC for 60 days?
Gobbo
Thank you for all the information all. Just trying to work out my own issue which I think is to do with the default Htaccess file messing with the one in the cart directory. looking at my webserver files I am confused as to which directory the cs-cart is actually installed in the url is www.battechexpress.com.au . There is a .htaccess file under the root folder that looks right but maybe I am not editing this line properly;
RewriteBase /
as it should be
RewriteBase /store directory
How can I tell where the store directory actually is?
Also I can edit an ht.access file from my hosting provider, should I delete the CS-cart one and do it through my providers control panel? Thank you in advance for any help.
Okay we but the bullet and moved to Apache. Was much easier than we thought and all these little niggling problems have been fixed with speed (probably more server related than software) but mainly the SEO plug in worked first time. I would highly consider the advice of others on here and just move your cart to an Apache server. Even if oyu have to move hosting companies the time we spent trying to get this workinf on a Zeus server was far more than the changeover to Apache time.
Hello,
Do I need to add anything in SEO rules?
Can someone please advice me on that?
Thanks in advance.
