Page Not Found After Disabling Other Languages

White Lion · February 4, 2013

Hello Dear Friends.

I'm using PS v 1.4.9.0

I want to use only English (en) language on my shop.

Then I've disabled other language French (fr) and Spanish (es).

After disabled some default cms pages are not found (404).

Pages in Preferences > SEO & URLs

Eg: sitemap, new-products, prices-drop, best-sales

mydomain.com/new-products

mydomain.com/prices-drop

mydomain.com/sitemap

But product pages are showing correctly.

Then i have enable French (fr) and pages are loading correctly.

Eg:

mydomain.com/en/new-products

mydomain.com/en/prices-drop

mydomain.com/en/sitemap

If i disabled "Friendly URL", pages are loading correctly.

Please help me to resolve this.

PascalVG · February 4, 2013

Did you, after disabling Friendly URL, RE-enabled it and rechecked already?

(Just checking, as Disabling/RE-enabling recreates htaccess, maybe solving this)

My 2 cents

White Lion · February 4, 2013

thank you for your reply dear PascalVG

yes. i have re-enabled Friendly URL and re-generate .htaccess file.

did it few times

but error did not fix.

then I've cleared /tools/smarty/cache and /tools/smarty/compile

but error did not fix.

Finally I was trying to using url like this

mydomain.com/new-products.php

mydomain.com/prices-drop.php

browser give me a Error 404

but

mydomain.com/sitemap.php

url automatically change mydomain.com/sitemap and browser showing my xml sitemap.

PrestaHeroes USA · February 4, 2013

without a real url, it's pretty hard to figure out....you can always delete the url after resolution..

did you clear your browser cache and cookies? that fixes many problems after language change

White Lion · February 6, 2013

Dear elpatron.

Thank you very much for your answer.

On yesterday, I was trying to find the solution.

* I've clear cache on my browser and try to visit that pages. but failed.

I use Firefox (v 18.0.1) and Google Chrome (v 24.0.1312.57 m)

Then I used my friends pcs. but failed.

This problem only comes for bellow pages on

Back Office > Preferences > SEO & URLs

ID Page Title Friendly URL

1 404.php 404 error page-not-found

2 best-sales.php Best sales best-sales

3 contact-form.php Contact us contact-us

4 index.php Online Shopping

5 manufacturer.php Manufacturers manufacturers

6 new-products.php New products new-products

7 password.php Forgot your password password-recovery

8 prices-drop.php Prices drop prices-drop

9 sitemap.php Sitemap sitemap

10 supplier.php Suppliers supplier

11 address.php Address address

12 addresses.php Addresses addresses

13 authentication.php Authentication authentication

14 cart.php Cart cart

15 discount.php Discount discount

16 history.php Order history order-history

17 identity.php Identity identity

18 my-account.php My account my-account

19 order-follow.php Order follow order-follow

20 order-slip.php Order slip order-slip

21 order.php Order order

22 search.php Search search

23 stores.php Stores stores

24 order-opc.php Order quick-order

25 guest-tracking.php Guest tracking guest-tracking

Finlay I've changed default friendly url on one page and try to visit that page on browser. Then i can visit that page.

6 new-products.php New products new-products

I've changed Friendly URL "new-products" to "new-product"

then i can visit mydomain.com/new-product

then i've change it again to "new-products" and try.

mydomain.com/new-products and mydomain.com/new-products.php

Browser given error 404

I need to find a solution for fix this.

White Lion · February 6, 2013

I forgot to tell this. English (en) is default language in my shopping cart. I want use only English (en) language and want to remove French (fr) and Spanish (es). Already removed Spanish (es) without problem. but this problem comes with if i'm using one language for my shopping cart.

I'm using GoDaddy Hosting.

PrestaHeroes USA · February 6, 2013

I clicked sitemap and other cms pages...everything is working fine...ave maria, I'm tired

White Lion · February 7, 2013

Dear elpatron.

Thank you very much for your answer.

please try to visit removing /en/

eg: mydomain.com/en/sitemap.php

Please remove /en/ and try to visit mydomain.com/sitemap.php

PrestaHeroes USA · February 7, 2013

your .htaccess puts the /en/ there...if you want to have the /en/ removed when people visit your shop then that is a different question than your original post.

I do not receive any 404's. So unless you are getting 404, then you have a new question, so you should think of opening a new post...

White Lion · February 7, 2013

Dear elpatron.

I got 404 errors on that pages. then i have active France (fr)

Then can visit to that pages. but i cant visit without /en/

current .htaccess file data English and france.

Did you really remove the French language, or just turned it off? If really removed it, and it gives problems, consider to again reinstall (as I understood then the error is gone) and try to just disable ?

I can imagine SOMEWHERE in Prestashop some French is stuck, as many PS developers are French :-)

So, if you didn't do it yet, try only disabling, not deleting?

My 1/2 cent

tomerg3 · February 7, 2013

The massive htaccess posts discourage me from reading the whole tread (attach them as a file in the future, it will make things easier).

As you many know, when you have more than 1 language installed, all the URLs will have /xx/ at the start.

When you go down to only 1 language, the /xx/ is being removed, and any old URL (with /xx/) will return a 404 error.

This is only an issue if search engines crawled your site with the /xx/ URLs.

If you recreate the htaccess file (click save ont he SEO&URL) page, then you should be good to go (you many need to clear your browser cache).

If you want to automatically redirect the /xx/ URL to / (for the default language), you can check out http://www.prestashop.com/forums/index.php?/topic/39736-module-duplicate-url-redirect-redirect-all-duplicate-and-non-seo-friendly-urls-to-the-default-friendly-url/

White Lion · February 8, 2013

Dear PascalVG

Thank you for your kindly reply.

I did not remove any language. i used en, fr and es.

I do not have knowledge about fr and es.

Then I've disabled es without any problem.

but after disable fr, I faced this 404 problem. then i have re enable fr.

After disable multi language to single language, will harmful to my seo ranking?

PascalVG · February 8, 2013

Did Tomerg3's addition help?

The disabling of any language not supported should not give any disadvantage to your SEO score (As I understand, if you don't make sure your links/Headers etc differentiate a little for every language, it's a DISadvantage)

SEO is (mostly, if not all) about original contents, choosing the correct keywords for your titles, descriptions of your pictures (alt-field), and it helps to have links to your site from other sites (but not from link farms, as google knows those sites and that's a no-no again).

Don't worry too much about your SEO rank (yet), make sure your content is yours, no cheap copying from other sites, the pics are original and well documented. Use google analytics for some keyword research.

Good luck.

Don't forget to let us know if Tomerg3's solution helped or not!)

White Lion · March 23, 2013

All of my friends.

After a long time.

Finally I've found the solutions.

Here are the steps.

01. logging in to your server and delete .htaccess file. (remember: please keep backup the file before delete)

02. Then go to Preferences > SEO & URLs

03. Enable Disable apache multiviews by adding tick to yes.

04. Save new settings. Then Regenerate .htaccess file. (on PS v 1.5)

I've check this on v 1.5.3.1

It is working correctly.

Have a nice day.

Good Luck

White Lion!!! Thanks, that was working for me also, at GoDaddy! Thanks!

I did not delete the htaccess file, the disabling Apache multiviews was enough!

All of my friends.

After a long time.

Finally I've found the solutions.

Here are the steps.

01. logging in to your server and delete .htaccess file. (remember: please keep backup the file before delete)

02. Then go to Preferences > SEO & URLs

03. Enable Disable apache multiviews by adding tick to yes.

04. Save new settings. Then Regenerate .htaccess file. (on PS v 1.5)

I've check this on v 1.5.3.1

It is working correctly.

Have a nice day.

Good Luck

it works also for me on 1.5.4.1

thank you very much

The other solution is just to remove the Language block from Front Office.
