Re: HDSEO Question

Ok...........next problem

I tried reading the manual and this forum and now my .htaccess has toasted my entire site with a 500 server error

[Sun Aug 16 15:27:39 2009] [alert] [client 66.153.155.157] /home2/thememor/public_html/.htaccess: RewriteRule: bad argument line '^us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket$/ecom-catshow/navyblanketwoven.\\html'\n



my .htaccess file reads

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ecom-catshow/navyblanketwoven\.html$ http://www.thememoriesplace.com/us-navy … nket\.html [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket$/ecom-catshow/navyblanketwoven.\html
RewriteRule ^store/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html store/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]

any ideas?

Re: HDSEO Question

Here is an example from my .htaccess file.  This format is working for me.  Try getting rid of the "/" in front of ecom-catshow in the second line.  Also the backslash "\" at the end of that line needs to be in front of .html

Code:

RewriteRule ^ecom-catshow/tugstoys\.html$ http://www.blackdogtactical.com/Dog-Training-Tugs-and-Toys [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^Dog-Training-Tugs-and-Toys$ ecom-catshow/tugstoys\.html

Re: HDSEO Question

I tried to enter the following as you suggested

RewriteRule ^ecom-catshow/navyblanketwoven\.html$ http://www.thememoriesplace.com/us-navy … to-blanket [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket$ ecom-catshow/navyblanketwoven\.html



It came back with the url:


http://www.thememoriesplace.com/store/e … woven.html

Re: HDSEO Question

Probably a stupid question, but did you turn on the HD SEO mod at System Dashboard > System > Component > Settings > Extension Module: HDSEO and add the URL in the URL manager?

Re: HDSEO Question

I have the HDSEO set to "true"

and the url manager reads:
Clone Update Delete /ecom-cat/navyblanketwoven.html /us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket.html

The url I'm trying to rewrite is

http://www.thememoriesplace.com/store/e … woven.html

and I'm trying to change it to:

http://www.thememoriesplace.com/us-navy … anket.html

or even "store/us-etc

The current .htaccess is

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^ecom-prodshow/navyblanketwoven\.html$ http://www.thememoriesplace.com/us-navy … to-blanket [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket$ ecom-prodshow/navyblanketwoven\.html
RewriteRule ^store/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html store/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]


I've tried  ^store/ecom-prodshow
               ^/ecom-catshow

and a bunch of other things in the .htaccess file...............and I'm lost.

the path to the main page is

/public_html/store/index.php

however the cart is outside the "public_html"  and there is a    .htaccess file inside the  /ccp7_private 

any chance I have the .htaccess file in the wrong location.........mine is inside the public_html   where it was put by the server as I did redirects through cpanel for other pages.



Any help would be appreciated.

Re: HDSEO Question

The cart isn't outside of public_html or it wouldn't be working.  What's in the private directory isn't seen or used directly by the web server.  You don't want to change the .htaccess file in that directory.  Having your changes in the .htaccess in public_html is the correct place for them.

Re: HDSEO Question

It looks like your .htaccess is a mixed bag of rules for the cart location.  You use ^ecom-prodshow..., which would be for a cart installed in the web root, but your last line uses ^store... which should be correct for the cart being installed in a subdirectory called 'store'.

Based on what I pulled from another post, I think it would be:

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^store/ecom-prodshow/navyblanketwoven\.html$ http://www.thememoriesplace.com/store/us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket [L,R=permanent]
RewriteRule ^store/us-navy-personalized-photo-blanket$ store/ecom-prodshow/navyblanketwoven\.html

RewriteRule ^store/(.*)-(.*)/(.*)\.html store/index.php?app=$1&ns=$2&ref=$3 [L,PT]

In case I screwed it up, I based it on the info at the end of this post:

Re: HDSEO Question

Thank you Craig..........it works and it gave me back this url

http://www.thememoriesplace.com/store/u … to-blanket

Any idea on how I get it to give me a .html at the end of the url

I only ask because I'm not sure yet how the sitemap and googlebase will handle something without  ".html"  at the end

Re: HDSEO Question

Site maps and Google shouldn't need or care about a .html and, in fact, many people use the HD SEO XMOD specifically to remove .html or anything else.

Re: HDSEO Question

I'm convinced Dave.

Thanks to Craig and you I have the module working and I do appreciate all the help with what must have seemed like a million dumb questions.     I think Craig had it right..........I was changing so many things that I just kept compounding the problem.

Re: HDSEO Question

Sorry you ran into so many problems.

If there's one BIG thing I've learned over the years it is to make one change at a time and see what the results are.  Making more than one change at a time will almost always lead to frustration and confusion.
