L. Brett Sinclair Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 audioclicks, did that work for you ?I'm also interested in putting the URL rewrite on with godaddy and presta 1.1, but I have yet to read someone who has done it successfully.

msk69 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 audioclicks? i'm not with godaddy :-) although i've came across many stories, and people leaving there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Brett Sinclair Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 yes, audioclicks is the originator of the post - he is on Godaddy... ;-) and I concur, I wish I would not have paid in advance Godaddy to host my sites.Lesson learned.....

msk69 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 ahh.. okay.. thought audioclicks was a feature of PS :zip: Anyhow.. i should not worry about that money.. before i'd a cheap host as well, and paying about 10x that much now, but worth it every penny, you will forget the lost money as soon as you have a fast running shop, and (in my case that time) no downtime.

L. Brett Sinclair Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'll "up" this post.I'm already up an running with V1.1. However, i can't seem find the correct way to implement it.I turned the Friendly URL On, renamed the HTAccess.txt file into .HTaccess, edited it. Yet, I keep getting the usual error 404. (page not found)So, I turn it right off 'cause I'm a chicken. ;-P what's the trick with Godaddy ?Thank you all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megahoboriffic Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 i too host with godaddy and can't get friendly urls to work with my prestashop. there's got to be a way to make this work..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuadDamage Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 RRRRAAWWRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm... Maybe it is because of godaddy. I too have godaddy, but I'm using php5 and I cannot for the life of me get URL rewrite to work. I run a web store that is rapidly growing and Google is giving me all kinds of errors because I don't have solid URL's. And warnings and errors in your webmaster account with Google is bad for your search rankings. This is so annoying. I don't know who to blame. But sine most in here are having the issue with godaddy, I guess I'll have to point the finger as well. Go suck one GoDaddy!Does someone know the solution? Godaddy said "I dont know what yer talkin about", in a nut shell when I contacted customer support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torchia Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 HI,I have renamed .htaccess file. When I enter www.mydomain.com it shows a blank page, if I enter www.mydomain.com/qwerty it opens store page 'page no longer in use.....' then I can navigate in my store and links are 'friendly', but when I press 'home' it gets back to blank front page.Any suggestions?
