Post by: tristate on March 31, 2008, 22:35:12

If the SEO PRO is not working read this:
https://www.elxis.org/guides/general-guides/how-to-enable-seo-pro.html

If your site is in a sub-directory read this SEO PRO fix for Elxis 2008.0:
https://forum.elxis.org/index.php?topic=1918.0

If SEO PRO is working but the "Suggested SEO title" is not working give us detailed info on what you do and where. Notice that you can always write manually any SEO title you like...

Domain: http://www.tri-statesolutions.biz

running Elxis version: Olympus 2008

My server specs are as follows:

Compaq DL380 (generation 1)
2 x 1.0 ghz processors
1 GB RAM
2 Gigabytes of SWAP
52 Gigabytes of RAID 5

PHP 4.0 and 5.0 (php5 is default, php4 runs with CGI)
MySQL 4.1.22-standard
WHM 11.15.0 cPanel 11.18.3-R21703
CENTOS Enterprise 4.6 i686 on standard - WHM X v3.1.0
Kernel version: 2.6.9-42.ELsmp

Running with 2 generic nic cards and the only wesites on this server are sites that I personally run (it is a dedicated Cpanel server that sits in-house in my office) Server is managed by: Platinum Server Management, I do what I can but have them do anything major.

If you would like login access, just PM me and I will give it to you so that you can look into the problem (or just make an account and make you a super admin)


Thanks, Chris

This happens due to server mis-configuration. I have seen this again with CENTOS and Debian although it is not an OS related issue.

Steps to solve the problem:
1. Make sure you have a proper set up .htaccess file
2. Make sure that in your httpd.conf file the AllowOvewrite directive is enabled
3. Make sure that the mod_rewrite is loaded in apache modules.
4. If you run a site under sub-directory/folder make sure you have applied the SEO PRO fix

If the above 4 are OK, SEO PRO will work fine.

In the same problem on a friend's server with centos the problem was the AllowOverwrite directive (it was set to none). AllowOverwrite must be set to all in order .htaccess to be allowed to overwrite apache's default configuration. Elsewhere the URL re-write wont work. Restart apache whenever you change something to httpd.conf. Better use PHP5+, MySQL5+

I am guessing it is my .htaccess file or the overwrite, I will check my WHM to see what I can find, if it seems ok then the process of elimination I will find that it will be my .htaccess file. Because I run in my main directory and have also applied the fix (i was curious to see if it would fix it). Thanks for your help... If I can't figure out the .htaccess file then I will be back for some more direction :)

Thanks, Chris
