Any way to stop the .htaccess file creating it's own data?


Recommended Posts

Hope someone can help me. The friendly URL and domain forwarding let the .htaccess file create it's data. (If I'm correct?)

 

I've tried 3 new installations and since I've complete the redirecrtion (domain forwarding in my cPanel) and enable friendly URL's, my site is slowly collapsing! Half of pages can't load.

 

The .htaccess file causes hundreds of error redirections in my cPanel! Me and my hosts techs struggled with this problem for days! We couldn't solve the problem

 

Is there a way of stopping the .htaccess file to create it's own data? I will go without the friendly URL's.

 

TIA

the build of the ps native .hataccess file follows a little rule which you can learn more about in this post.  i.e. you can build custom directives above and below the auto-generated .htaccess.

Thank you for the reply. What would you suggest will be my custom code be keeping .htaccess clean and not let it add code by itself?

Sorry, got no idea where at what that is! :(  I will appreciate it if you can lead me in the right direction.

 

I attcached to images. First one is without the domain forwarding and the second is when I cahnged the URL in Preference > SEO & URL's

 

In the second image of my redirection colomns in the cPanel, PrestaShop created the middle 2 colomns. The top and bottom were set up by me. theartgangster.com is my 'main' domain with the others as addon domains. If I enable Friendly URLs, Presta Shop will create tons of those entries in the redirection colomns.

 

 Any idea why this is happening?

ah dude, I don't review custom directives...jajajajaja

 

It might be a good time to explain what you are trying to accomplish.

 

if it's simply adding shops to your multishop, then there is a much easier way to do it...

 

as for native prestashop customization, I at times do take private work if I think the customer knows what they are doing :)  you are not there yet...

I explained the problem in my first post. I did nothin custom. PrestaShop created those entries in my cPanel! ...if that is what you mean! If I unstall PrestaShop, those entries disappear.

 

If you enable friendly URLs, PrestaShop creates MORE of those entries! Pages of it in my cPanel. If you delete those entries, the platform acts like it has bugs in it and evetually crashes! happene 3 times with fresh installs.

 

According to the host techs, the .htaccess file creates it and that's why I asked how to stop it.

Is the issue with prestashop replacing the directives that you are writing from your cpanel? If so, are you on a vps account?

 

Yes. If we delete it, pages don't load, can't log into the Admin stc. The entire platform lterally falling apart until you have to uninstall it. To make things worse, is to activate friendly URLs. The directives are running up to 20 pages in the cPanel.

 

If I install PrestaShop, all these drectives disappear.

 

These were fresh installs. I'm not sure what hosting I'm on but I can find out if it will help.
