Hey Guys,

I just enabled SEO Urls: http://www.eirestudio.net/open-cart/ and it is not working at all. I have mod rewrite on my server and I have numerous Wordpress sites; all with SEO urls, but open cart is just not working with them enabled.

Any ideas?

you need to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess and you need to edit it and change rewritebase / to rewritebase /open-cart/

Hi,

.htaccess.txt was renamed to just .htaccess and I have now just added open-cart to rewrite base, but the same thing...

Code: Select all

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /open-cart/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

what's the error? are you getting a 404 not found or a 500 error? if you are getting 500 you probably need to comment out

Options +FollowSymlinks

and

Options -Indexes

as some servers don't like those lines in there, but some require them.

don't know what to tell you. If you have what you pasted above in your .htaccess it should be working I've set it up on MANY sites and I know it works. Seems like your server must have something very strange going to that is forcing it to pull your homepage content. Could be some sort of rewrite going on in your main dir maybe?

This was driving me nuts too. The solution that worked for me: disabling the "Rewrite Base" line in the htaccess file. That's it!

Might be a silly question, but you have written/typed something (ie. keywords) in the admin side of things right?

I heart cmd-f, cmd-c, cmd-v, cmd-z + vQmod.
