CMS Links Don't Work when using Friendly Url - 1.4 RC2

[jhuntra]

In prestashop 1.4 RC, when I turn on friendly url, I cannot get to my cms pages with either type of links. It just redirects to my home page. It is accessible when i turn it off.
Any Help?

I am having the same issue with 1.4.0.17.

I had a similar issue and if I recall properly i fixed it in the BO->Preferences->SEO area. Check that all your pages have a friendly URL defined. There were a few that did not by default

Just recently updated to version 1.4.0.17 and I had the same problem.

I ended up doing a fresh install, however prior to doing that I did two things that solved the problem.

1.) I changed permissions of the modules folder to 755 (which they should be in the first place, official Prestashop wiki gives incorrect English instructions for folder permissions)

2.) Secondly at the same time I edited the htaccess file. I could not tell you the exact changes that I made to the htaccess file because as I said above I actually did a fresh install even after fixing these problems. However hopefully this at least gives you some idea as to where to start in order to solve your problem. I can pretty much tell you with a good deal of certainty that the problem lies in one of these two areas above in your situation.

Good luck.

Thanks Bellini, that solved it for me!

Can you tell us exactly where to fix the issue in the database?
Do we have to add a field in PREFIX_configuration table?

Thanks

Sorry DGV, things have indeed moved on since I posted that. The solution was identified in:

http://www.prestashop.com/bug_tracker/view/8489/


Adding the PS_INSTALL_VERSION config item to the PREFIX_configuration table and then regenerating the .htaccess file via the tools menu appears to have completely solved the issues I was having. Apparently the .htaccess was being generated differently for older installations and the decision on what the rules generated should be were based on this variable; which didn't exist. My .htaccess now has:

RewriteRule ^content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*) /cms.php?id_cms=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^content/category/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*) /cms.php?id_cms_category=$1 [QSA,L]

Which is what we thought the "correct" entries should be, only once that variable is set you don't have to manually edit the file after generation.

As the discussion in the bug tracker says:

INSERT INTO `ps_configuration` (`name`, `value`, `date_add`, `date_upd`) VALUES
(’PS_INSTALL_VERSION’, ‘1.4.0.17’, ‘2011-03-20 12:00:00’, ‘2011-03-20 12:00:00’);

This means, go into the table ps_configuration (show its contents) and add a new row with the above array items

That worked fine...

Thanks.

Hi,


I have added the new table in the database and refreshed the .htacces file but still get the same issue.

Is there anything else that would be causing this problem.

My .httaccess file looks like this:

# .htaccess automaticaly generated by PrestaShop e-commerce open-source solution
# WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE MANUALLY. IF NECESSARY, ADD YOUR SPECIFIC CONFIGURATION WITH THE HTACCESS GENERATOR IN BACK OFFICE
