Yossefelbaz Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hi. After installing Prestashop i saw 2 alerts on the main page of the BO. One is for the URL Rewriting and the second is for Browser cache & compression. I tried to check the boxes on the .htaccess generator page and generate new .htaccess file, but i am getting error pages. Some are 404 pages and some are just white blank screen. How to do it right? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yossefelbaz Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 It didn't help! The pages that are not opening are the top menu links including My Account link. www.dressmeupny.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus102994 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Your host must have the module "mod_rewrite" enabled on their servers in order for URL rewriting to function properly. Contact your host for more information, otherwise disable URL rewriting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yossefelbaz Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 OK i solved this by Googling "godaddy mod_rewrite prestashop" and finding this topic. So the answer is to check also the box of Disabel Apache Multiviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markus102994 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Yes, See if checking the Disable Apache Multiviews works for you. Otherwise, add Options -Multiviews to your .htaccess file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dformica Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I have Prestashop 1.5.3.1 with no customizations / shared Linux hosting with Godaddy. My Friendly URL doesn't work. Many links go invalid "404 Page Not Available". Example: all tags, Login, Cart, Search - all don't work. If I disable Friendly URL then all the links mentioned start working. I see that the .htaccess generated in 1.5 looks a bit different than what you guys posted previously here for 1.4. I have tried a few things on the .htaccess file reading on other forums to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. I have to add the fact that I called GoDaddy and they confirmed that mod_rewrite is active. I also ran a test by just putting the below code in my .htaccess file. Then hit my website http://www.mydomain.com/testpage.html and it does take me to google.com. So rewrite is working properly. TEST CODE FOR .HTACCESS FILE: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule testpage\.html http://www.google.com [R] So please anyone any advice? tips? whatever to help me get the Friendly URLs working?

dformica Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) A majority of the time when new friendly url is activated.and ou do not clean out your browser cache and cookies...you get 404's... Thank you for your input but I have tried this and also from different browsers/computers. I get the same result, the 404 page when hitting the before mentioned links. I also tried deleting the content in smarty/cache and smarty/compile along with cookies, cache of brower. Then new browser new computer. But still Friendly URL doesn't work.
