Halllo People
i already installed the opencart
but i dont know how to do the following steps :

URL Alias
---------

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

2. Ensure you have permissions to use .htaccess, and that it is setup correctly.

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

Can somebody Help me ?

Have a nice day

This is a webhost issue. Can you contact your webhost and ask them.
Or, if you are on Linux (I don't know about windows):
1. "pretend" you already have it
2. Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess (dot htaccess)
3. Set-up URL Alias in Open Cart's Back Office
4. Did it work ?

If it works > no problem
If it doesn't work, you can then either check with your webhost or upload a file called php.info to see if you have mod_rewrite enabled.

Firstly, checking that mod_rewrite isenabled will be a good step, in the admin menu if you choose the admin -> server Info menu item, you will see the output given by phpinfo();

If mod-re-write is enabled, i'd suggest you download my SEO pack from here http://forum.opencart.com/index.php/topic,1677.0.html

That package is a very big step forward in SEO friendly URLs for Opencart and a must if you ask me.

Oh, I didn't know Open Cart had that. Much easier than creating a phpinfo file
Thanks for teaching me and thanks for the SEO contribution

no problems
