Swickaar Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Hi, In previous version of prestashop it was easy to generate a .htaccess file from prestashop backend. Kindly let us know how to do the same in Ps 1.5.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhobur Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 It seems it is automatically generated when you select the Canonical URL option. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swickaar Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 But the canonical URL is giving a lot of issues when active in prestashop 1.5.1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhobur Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) No other option as I know. Try to set/unset those options and htaccess wil regenerate itself. Edited October 27, 2012 by Caprice (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swickaar Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 The URL generated for CMS pages when friendly url is on takes the user to some category and not a cms page. Note that this is bothering us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennlawre Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Enabling Friendly URL generates .htaccess "Preferences > SEO & URLs - Friendly URL - Set to Yes" I have just deleted my .htaccess, disabled and then enabled SEF URLs and it generated a .htaccess for me.

Raphaël Malié Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The reason is that you don't need to generate a .htaccess manually with the 1.5 version. The .htaccess file is automatically created / updated when you use friendly urls or multistore, and will save all the specific code that you put in your file.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 well this solution was at version 1.4 terrible mistake to take it off!!!! =[ I wrote a module that improves upon the 1.4 native feature. Where in 1.4 you could only add to the top of the native .htaccess, my module allows you to prefix and suffix the native PrestaShop. And for those that want to regenerate their native PS .htaccess, on-demand (yes we know you are out there) we have that button does that as well.

vekia Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 in old domain use 301 redirection in .htaccess 301 redirects to new domain (and this is good for seo) like: domain.com/1-product.html new.com/1-product.html in this case you have to copy database to new shop.

vekia Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 if you use the same structure for categories, products etc. you can use this redirection: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] with this .htaccess rule you don't have to redirect urls one by one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoneVintage Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 (edited) What do you mean "old content"? Do I need to erase all the contents in my htaccess file and replace it with what you suggested? Just noticed the word "database" in your first answer ... Since the second domain uses the first domain's database ... I'm not sure what to think Edited June 12, 2013 by FountainPenMarket (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 you want to move your store: domain.com -> new-domain.com 1) without database change 2) without hosting change if so - you need to change ps_shop_url table (preferences > SEO & URLs) values: domain & URI. then, create new directory (not in prestashop dir) and point your old domain there. in this dir create .htaccess file with 301 redirection.

GoneVintage Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Both domains are part of a Prestashop Multistore. They both share the same database. I decided to merge them into one store and enabled all categories from first one to the other. Now I'm afraid from duplicate content penalty and still want to receive traffic white the imported categories and products from the first domain get indexed. I've read about the option you suggested ( Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] ) , but unfortunately I can't get it work. There is probably some redirect from the multistore preventing this to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoneVintage Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 unfortunately, with multistore this trick will not work Luckily This Trick WORKS like a Charm! Thank you! Besides adding the rewrite mod to .htaccess you just need to create 301 redirect on CPanel in order the mod to work .... It's that easy(when you spend a day searching and trying ... ) Thanks again! Supports Multistore too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
