McAfee Site Verification Help


Recommended Posts

Hi There

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help please,

 

Prestashop version 1.4.6.2

Theme prestashop approved is prestashop_alternative

http://addons.presta...lternative.html

I have two purchased modules, Magic zoom and Blaze slide show.

I am hosted on 1&1 hosted server.

When I go to verify my site at McAfee I get the following error, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this error or knows what I have to do to fix it. I would like to get the site verified as it will give customers more confidence when visiting the site.

 

McAfee Error Message is:

 

Posting Web Site Owner Comments

 

Error Submitting Site for Verification

 

It appears that the Web site idealgifts4u.co.uk (or www.idealgifts4u.co.uk) is returning an HTTP 2xx or 3xx status response code in the header of 404 pages.

We cannot verify a Web site that is configured this way because it allows anyone to verify themselves as the owner of your site. Please update your Web site server configuration to return 404 status codes in the headers for pages that do not exist. Once your site is configured this way then you can return and request a file name verification.

 

 

 

Any help would be much appreciated

Can't offer much help on this one sorry guys but a quick google (not ideal for a live store BUT) these where the steps posted for a Wordpress Blog with the same problem

 

 

I finally got it to work. here is what worked for me.

- Deactivate all Plugins

- Use the default theme TwentyTen

- rename the .htaccess to .htaccessold

- Go Back to McAfee SiteAdvisor and click "Request Verification File"

You should now see the McAfee Validation File name.

- Create the file and upload to your host in the root directory

- Go Back to McAfee SiteAdvisor and click the "Verify" Button

- rename the .htaccessold to .htaccess

 

Found http://wordpress.org...wordpress-sites

 

Using: https://www.google.c...lient=firefox-a

 

A fair bit of googline shows this is a REAL common problem, I wouldnt go near McAfee as a result of this!

 

If your not happy with the above there is another option to try:
