SEO & .htaccess problem need help please
hi guys, can you please help. I have no KHXC folder in my server, the ccp6 software was installed by Howard so the folders i have are these
ccp6-private/
logs/
web/
inside the web folder is the folder for ccp6 and inside this folder is the index.php
how do i need to write the .htaccess file, i presume i just write it as a notepad document and name it .htaccess, any help would be appreciated, i'm also using an apache server that doesn't seem to use .htaccess at it's fullest and they recommend zeus rewrite rules, however if any one can help me write the .htaccess file, i can then atleast show namesco and let them figure out the zeus alternative.
i guess this is the text i need to start with ???
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]
any help always appreciated

Re: SEO & .htaccess problem need help please
If your /web folder is mapped to http://yourdomain/ and your ccp6 folder is within this, then that last Rewrite line should be RewriteRule ^/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]
I think...though of course that depends on your host supporting at least that function 
I have a similar set-up and my .htaccess looks like this
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^cat--(.*)--(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=catshow&ref=$2
RewriteRule ^item--(.*)--(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodshow&ref=$2
RewriteRule ^page--(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php
RewriteRule ^store /ccp6/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=splash&ref=KHXCseo
RewriteRule ^splash /ccp6/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=display&ref=splash
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ /cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi?pg=ste_sitemap_proc
RewriteRule ^$ /ccp6/index.php
RewriteRule ^ccp6/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3
RewriteRule ^/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=gbu0&ns=prodsearchp&gbu0--prodsearch--string=$1
RewriteRule ^cgi-bin/(.*) /ccp6/index.php
Ignore the ^cat-- ^item-- ^page-- and ^sitemap lines as these are 'fixes' which I use to ensure my ATS SEO links still work.

Re: SEO & .htaccess problem need help please
Thanks for that qmstores i appreciate it.
Apache servers that don't support full .htaccess are a pain in the ass but atleast i can now contact them to allow then to do the zeus rewrite.
just one further question, if i was able to allow the .htaccess based on my above folders on my server... i presume the .htaccess file would have to be uploaded to the root ie: the main place where i can see the web folder ?
kind regards
Jas....

I think .htaccess must be placed in the root folder of your visible website. So, if http://yourdomain/ maps to a folder in your hosted space called /web then .htaccess should be in this folder.

Re: SEO & .htaccess problem need help please
Hi qmstores
Thanks for that, i did try it and i'm still getting a 404 error
I have emailed namesco who provide my server to ask them if they can convert
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html /ccp6/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]
in to a zeus rewrite
we'll see what they say, if however they are willing to help, i will gladly post the zeus code and instructions here for others who may need it in the future, apparently i am not able to use .htaccess i can only use a file called a rewrite.script so we'll see.
however thank you for your time in replying
Kind Regards

Re: SEO & .htaccess problem need help please
Just an update
I contacted namesco about the rewrite rules and this is their reply
"Thankyou for contacting Namesco.
Unfortunately we do not support the mod_rewrite directive. This is an Apache directive, and will not run under our webservers, which run the Zeus webserver software.
If you require an Apache webserver with its related technologies, then you will need to upgrade your hosting package from shared to a VPS (Virtual Private Server) or a Dedicated Server."
so looks like the £19.99 a month i pay for my businesshost+ server is a waste of money.
can anyone recomend a server rental company that will work ??
