URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) PrestaShop 1.5.1.0 I driving me crazy

luisvillacrez · October 7, 2012

Ok so far this is what i have figured out. Right now my website: www.lazux.com is running with the .htaccess generated by prestahop. Some of the links work except the my account link, login, and such.

I have tried this solutions: http://prestashop-godaddy.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-get-prestashop-friendly-url-url.html

Nothing.

However, after trying all solution I decided to delete the .htacces so see if prestahop will generate another one. While the url friendly is enabled. Doing this, all the links work;However, all the images from the product don't show up .

Please if anyone know the solutions for the URL friendly to work on my site I would really appreciate it.

Thank you in advanced.

Anyone?

I also met this issue, after I upgrade from 15.17 to v 1.5.1 it sucks, I tried many ways, no one work, dont know why they release such a terrible version as a stable one...

If you run PHP in CGI/FastCGI mode, PS does not detect it.

vynx · October 10, 2012

i have similiar problems before, when image not show up, you can check rewritebase option in the .htaccess

This is how I have my htaccess which has done a good job for me after lots of painstaking research. Hope this helps.

Hi Nanopresta,

its also make some issue in the cookie,

i also do some modification to redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com

That configuration is dependent on the Set shop URL

in the Preferences, SEO & URLs page

So make sure the way it is set on that page is the way it is set in the htaccess.

there is some bug in PS 1.5.1 about cookie, dont know in where in coding, but when make domain.com redirect to www.domain.com, then everything becomes better ...

Thank you for trying to help. However, it is still not working. I called the guys from prestashop technical support. They don't even know what's wrong. Also, they didn't even have an 1.5.1 available to check on their servers. Lol

You would think after making a huge update they would already have it testing huh?

Hello luisvillacrez, for your htaccess issue with GoDaddy servers, it may be running in FastCGI mode. Check out this thread and see if it helps. http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/192951-solved-url-rewriting-mod-rewrite-is-not-active-on-your-server-using-cgifastcgi/

x cache is not available in some hosting, i think it only available in VPS ...

what weird bug in 1.5.1 that you know?

I downloaded the new Prestashop 1.5.1, loaded it to my server, and completed the install. I had some problems with this version. The prices would not change when attributes were selected, and the product customization would not save. Because of this the product could not be added to the cart. I also encountered a problem with the mulit store feature, there was not a way to edit an additional root category unless you deactivate multi store feature and then reactivate multi store feature??? Not sure why that happens that way. Unfortunately I have to delete 1.5.1 for now and install 1.5.0.17 which is working on my other domain.

By the way this is my first post only because I usually dont post in this forum because I can usually find a solution here by investigating forum topics and I would guess that this released version 1.5.1 is so new that it is not able to be investigated.

That was my post in another topic.

Hello luisvillacrez, for your htaccess issue with GoDaddy servers, it may be running in FastCGI mode. Check out this thread and see if it helps. http://www.prestasho...ing-cgifastcgi/

Hey thank for trying help. However, I still getting the error It's been over a week. I have called presta customer service, they haven't be able to resolve my problem either. The gave me a solution to change hosting company. which is a pain in the butt. There;s gotta be something else. If anyone know please help. I'm using the last stable version of prestashop 1.5.1 and my hosting is godaddy. lol

Hello, I'm not sure if it is so much of a "pain in the butt" technically. It's just a change in the DNS. It depends on each situation, I think everybody here would Agree that BlueHost is a good Hosting Provider that we support because of it's speed, low price, and compatbility with our features like url_rewriting. www.bluehost.com/prestashop

I have actually overseen the migration over 30 merchants to BlueHost, from start to finish. 100% of them were happy with the switch. personally, we seldom receive call backs from them unless it's to say thank you and hello

Hi Ben,

is bluehost using version 1.5.1 or previous version?

For people who have error 500 and unable to run website with "Friendly URL on".

Try to manually add "RewriteBase /" line after "RewriteEngine on" in your .htaccess file

For me it helps!

in Prestashop version 1.4 in the BO under Tools tab there was "Generators" where you can create the .htaccess file. Does anyone know where this function is in the BO of 1.5?

vynx · October 15, 2012

in PS 1.5 htaccess auto generate.

Rhapsody · October 15, 2012

in PS 1.5 htaccess auto generate.

So this means you can no longer add in specific configuration info for .htacces via the BO like you could in version 1.4?

That is an inconvenience if people now need to use an FTP client or control panel to make the edits.

benjamin utterback · October 15, 2012

Hello Rhapsody,

You can "force" the generation of an htaccess file by toggling the Friendly URL option in 1.5

@vynx, BlueHost has version 1.5 in their simple script.

Rhapsody · October 15, 2012

Thanks Benjamin. Should I submit a feature request on the bug tracker to bring back the manual .htaccess generator with edit capability similar to version 1.4, or do you think that version 1.5 eliminates this need?

benjamin utterback · October 15, 2012

Hello Rhapsody, I believe that you should submit a feature request if you want. Surely it is important to you so why not.

If you know how to force the generation, it should act the same as a designated button. Having the button did confuse some users.

Hello Rhapsody, thank you for this request. We appreciate the feedback Thanks for choosing PrestaShop!

Wooohoo I've been trying for hours to solve this to no avail... until I found your post... at the beginning I didn't change "www.yourwebsite.com" address and nothing was working, and then I realized the mistake and now my site is up and running fine! friendly urls and with godaddy hosting!!!

joannaleng · June 9, 2013

Hi,

I did not want to confuse clients and have error links by enabling other languages except english. Upon doing so, my URLs was changed from /en/product ID to /product id.

However URLs on my website does not update the change and I have now broken links like:

http://www.francesca...rowse-all-items on my store front here: http://screencast.com/t/uyRNSDHuB6z

appreciate any help!

URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) PrestaShop 1.5.1.0 I driving me crazy
