Hi friends!! :)

I'm here with another "easy" issue...

In my main page any "INFORMATION" link (About us, contact, privacy policy... ) is not available if i turn the "URL Alias" - on - in the administration panel...

Also i'd like to modifiy the "About us", "Privacy Policy" and "Terms & Conditions" contents & texts but i can not find these options in the language folder ... any idea???

I'm using the PHP4 version of Opencart, it's any possibility of using this pretty option???

Thanks a lot by advance!!!! :O)
POSEIDON.

Hello,

To modify your INFORMATION, go to Catalog => Information in your Admin Page,
any changes you make will take about 30minutes to an hour to appear, unless you turn off
Database Cache in Admin => Configuration => Settings

I never used the PHP4 version, so I am not sure if the Administrator panel is the same.

URL Alias only works if mod rewrite is enabled on your server. the install text file talks about renaming the htaccess.txt to .htaccess to enable this. there are a few threads in the forum about this.

I didn't say anything about... let's go :)

The "mod_rewrite" is enabled in my server...
apache2handler
Loaded Modules 
core mod_access mod_auth mod_log_config mod_logio mod_env mod_setenvif prefork http_core mod_mime mod_status mod_autoindex mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_alias mod_so mod_speling mod_casp2 mod_cgi mod_fpcgid mod_include mod_security mod_python mod_perl mod_php4 mod_rewrite mod_ssl mod_suexec mod_userdir mod_webapp mod_cband 
And the .htaccess is the same as...
.htaccess

And i don't know why it don't works... :oS

i have used these steps in the past to test that it is actually working in the folder where opencart is installed:

put the rewrite.php test file in the same folder as opencart's index.php

Poseidon are you getting 404 errors when visiting the new pages? Or are the 'pretty' URLs not working at all?

Which version of Opencart are you using?

as stated at the top of the thread, the version being used is the PHP4 one which will be 0.6.5.

url aliases should be working in that ver, they did for me.

Yes, version is 0.6.5 but URL Aliases don't work for me...

I don't receive the error 404 but ask for open /index.htm (of the main domain) or a "referring page" (this last means to open the "index.php" at my opencart)

Did you change something in the scripts D77???  ::)
