OpenCart Community

i'm using opencart (just trying 1.4 now from 1.3x) and seo urls don't work and never have. i renamed htaccess and changed settings in admin panel. i have checked and i think mod rewrite is installed. what am i doing wrong?

Be SURE not think man

i did the below test, came back as though it's ok. not much else i can think to do as i didn't write xampp myself so can only think it's installed and enabled

Disable this line in the .htaccess: Then it should work (assuming that you have already filled your SEO keywords )

+ one more thing

I was absent-minded enough to spend ~5 mins struggling to fix broken SEO URLs before noticed that .htaccess file is named .htaccess.txt
Don't break your head on the same wall, hehe.

it also happened to our site,i tried to change the seo url and got always an error message: object not found. but you are right zergussino, always check the extension name before you do a lot of debugging.

No, the problem is not the website. The problem is that Julia Robert(s) is spamming her cleaning site.
Tut Tut, Julia. Give up cleaning & spamming and go back to acting

I have to say that is certainly an utter disappointment to not just you but many of us because such an established organization such as the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) really needs an edge in breaking out and working in open cart which I am afraid they still have not sorted it out yet. I do, however hope that someday I will get to work the SEO URL’s in my Open cart with some kind of a tweak or with a geek!

Nice, this worked for me, thanks

Thank you SO much, scanreg. I was banging my head against the wall trying to get the SEO URls to work. I couldn't figure it out, and no one at my server could figure it out either. Funny how the most frustrating problems have the simplest answer.
