Hi,
I would appreciate any help i can get trying to get my site to work with the seo urls. I have been on this forum trying different bits'n'pieces as there are similar posts but i just cannot get this to work. I am tearing my hair out.
My Opencart install is in the root (public_html). I have enabled the SEO URLs in the System->settings->Server.
I checked with my host (Arvixe) to make sure the apache module mod-rewrite was installed and they were.
vqmod is installed
My htaccess file is found in the top level directory and renamed .htaccess. I have tried commenting out the following:
Options FollowSymlinks
Options -Indexes
At the moment it is the default htaccess.txt file with the extension deleted to be htaccess.
All my top level catagories have the 'seo keyword' filled in with either - or _ instead of spaces. When i try the site it gives me 404 errors. It is as if the pages are not there. The error is:
Not Found
The requested URL /bob_ross_canvas was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
It is as if the software is not creating the page? I am not a programer so its hard for me to get my head round it and i am pulling my hair out. Any advice or help would be VERY much appreciated before i am bald. I would be willing to pay at this point to get it running.
The site is http://www.happy-painting.com
Thanks in advance for any advice, as i say it will be appreciated.
I cannot thank you enough. That one small dot just changed my life. I have spent literally hours and hours trying to get this working.
THANK YOU!
Just out of interest is there a reason there is no file extension at the end ie .htm/.html

I am having the same problem, my SEO url is also getting 404 in Google, for example
http://scootssuitsandboots.com/ben-sher ... et-red.php when fetched by Google is coming not found, but the link is active, the crawl stats are dropping at an alarming speed, any body knows why - I think I may have to get rid of the SEO option.
Cheers

Hi guys.
I've followed all the steps possible to make SEO URL work, but it is not cooperating with my. It is still returning 404 error when I navigate the site.
Facts:
1. I'm using 1.5.3.1. version.
2. My host ARVIXE confirms SEO URL's apache module has mod-rewrite active.
3. I have set and saved YES on Setting > Server > Use SEO URL's:
4. All products and categories have its Seo Url set on its Data tab.
5. .htaccess can be found on folders: (inside brackets and italic bellow you can see each file's contents).
/public_html/.htaccess

/public_html/vqmod/.htaccess

Options -Indexes)

Anyone have any clue on what to do to make it work???

Post bellow worked partially for me.
http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... eo#p349060
I've pasted the lines below into my .htaccess files.
# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
However, it only works for products, categories and Information. Being more clear, SEO works only with pages I can access and edit in ADMIN. The ones I do not have access to in ADMIN such as HOME, BRANDS, SPECIAL, CONTACT US, SITE MAP, etc, I'm not able to change it for SEO Url.
Anyone found out how to change it to SEO Urls???

Hi,
I also struggled and got it working, what I did is:
I copied the htaccess.txt to my computer via FileZilla
on my computer I opened the htaccess.txt file with the windows notepad program
from here: http://www.sitefixit.com/files/opencart/htaccess.txt
I copy & pasted the info into the htaccess.txt file and saved
I uploaded the htaccess.txt back to the server, in the root directory then
I renamed the file from "htaccess.txt" to ".htaccess"
Note: make sure its not ".htaccess." that second "." will cause errors
I have seen if you save the "htaccess.txt" file with notepad++ the info looks like a paragraph and that caused errors on my server.
for reference the original htaccess.txt file:

### 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.
# 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
# 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
# php_value max_execution_time 200
# 6. set max time for input to be recieved. Uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value max_input_time 200
