I am not new to SEO. My server is already setup for SEO before CS-Cart for my CMS and I would like to setup CS-Cart for SEO. I have read the manual and searched the boards.
When I go to Admin>Addons>SEO (requires apache+mod_rewrite installed) and attempt to turn it on I get a Error message.
[QUOTE]SEO URLs can’t work for now - they were disabled. Please check your Apache and mod_rewrite settings.[/QUOTE]
I have searched the directory for the htaccess to see if the name needs to be changed and did not find anything. Does anyone have experience setting up SEO and can put it in steps?
Got that figured out. Dropped .htaccess with just cs rewrite code you supplied in the subdirectory and got it up and running. Thanks for your help guys.
I’ve tried the clear cache but doesent seem to work as still get the problem.
I sent an email the other day to the host which went…
I am using a ecommerce sit that has seo but need to have one of these for it to work.
(requires URL manipulation engine - mod_rewrite or isapi_rewrite)
I cant see an option for it in controll panel and i dont think i can do anything to .htaccess to get it working ( i know little about internet programming)
I checked my php (im on 5) for mod rewrite but could not see it installed.
is it possible to install one for me?
The answer i got back was…
you would need to require those extensions via a htaccess file since they are apache extensions.
It is being used as when i was editing it i made an error and the site went down. when i corrected it it was back online.
I have 2 .htaccess files. one in the root (or what i call the root) the one with the main index.php and admin.php etc. this contains the file as above
I also have a .htaccess file in the sub root (the one with public_html folder). It appeared when i asked the controll panel on the server to upgrade to php5 when i installed it a few weeks ago. it says “SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5”
I even tried setting the “RewriteBase /public_html” with no luck
I have tried putting the 2 together so i get
SetEnv DEFAULT_PHP_VERSION 5
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
RewriteEngine on
Some hostings require RewriteBase to be uncommented
I am confused as to what you are trying to explain.
You should only have 1 .htaccess file with the information above. Also, public_html is your root folder so I would suggest you move any and all of CSC files there.
Where are all of your other CS files/folders at? They should be right there in /public_html.
Edit: After looking at your image again, the .htaccess does not belong there. It’s supposed to be in the root of your CS files hence /public_html/.htaccess
