SEO friendly URL / 500 internal server error

Quote

Post by adriankoooo » Thu Mar 03, 2011 8:05 pm

Hi!

I am trying to enable SEO friendly URL's, I have enabled this function in settings.

.htaccess looks like this:

Code: Select all

### autogenerated - do not edit between these lines
AuthName "restricted access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/html/mihalko.eu/public_html//.users

require valid-user
### autogenerated - do not edit between these lines


# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled. 

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options +FollowSymlinks

# Prevent Directoy listing 
Options -Indexes

# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini)">
 Order deny,allow
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

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


### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers 
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling, then restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.

# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
#php_flag register_globals off

Without this 2 line it is OK, why?

some server setups just don't like those lines, and some won't work without them.

When I rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
I also get " 500 internal server error"
What can I do to repair this. I have my server at one.com and they say that apache with mod_rewrite is enabled.
I also tried to uncomment the commands by removing the # at the lines:
# Prevent Directoy listing
Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Indexes
But the problem is the same!

What can I do. I need my store to be SEO friendly.

500 errors are really unhelpful from servers, but if you check your server logs then you may find the answer as they usually say what caused it.

It could also be the way the server is configured, if its plesk then you have multiple options to run php as an apache module, fast cgi or cgi (apache module is fine for me) - also try turning php safe mode off too.

my .htaccess is this.

# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com



# Prevent Directoy listing


# Prevent Direct Access to files
<FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</FilesMatch>

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
# If your opencart installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule sitemap.xml /index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.

# php_flag register_globals off

# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off

# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M

# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M

# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields

I had the same problem on Opencart 1.5.6.3
as my site was not installed on my domainname.com but on shop.domainname.com I changed the .htaccess to

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /shop/
However when I changed it back to

Code: Select all

RewriteBase /
it all worked perfectly fine.
It may be something specific to my host provider but it resolved my problem.
