yggdrasil Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The .htaccess rules don't work anymore for WHMCS 6. You can't access news, faq articles, etc. I'm wondering if someone is running version 6 with the SEO option set to checked in WHMCS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 can you explain the issue? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Yes. When you click on a news article for example, once SEO urls are enabled it changes the url from something like this: announcements.php?id=1 To something like this: announcements/1/Your-News.html This is basically what the SEO setting in the admin side activates, assuming you have renamed the .htaccess file and are using the rules correctly. The problem is that when you browse to: announcements/1/Your-News.html It will not display the full news. It will display a resume and then you have the Read More... button. This does not work. You can go directly to the news url or click the button and it will keep displaying the resumed announcement with the Read More button on it. You can't open the full announcement. But when you go manually to announcements.php?id=1, it works. Basically, all the SEO links like: announcements/1/Your-News.html announcements/2/Your-News.html announcements/3/Your-News.html Keep displaying the same page which is: announcements Instead of going to each article. In the browser url, it does load each news article, but the content is the same from announcements, not the individual post. I'm not sure if this is a server side issue that only affects me. So I'm wondering if someone else saw this or if its just me. If its just me, I will check the server config, since its a normal Apache with PHP (nothing strange), and I don't see any errors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentq Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 need your URL to check if possible? is your issue related to this http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?106706-Template-Six-need-Base-URL-tag-defined 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 No, my problem is not related to that. I don't have that issue, and just to discard that, I tried adding: <base href="{$systemurl}"> To the header template and it makes no difference. The .htaccess rules are not doing anything in my case (have no effect). I can even delete the .htaccess files from the whmcs install folder and it makes no difference what so ever. Basically the rules have no effect on WHMCS 6. Rewrite is working because if I add other test rules it works fine. Its just the rules that come with WHMCS 6 which worked with 5, that don't work or don't actually do anything in WHMCS 6. I did 2 installs, the and issue is in both of them. Does it work in your install? The reason I came to this forum is not for someone to get to my particular issue but to confirm if its just me or others have the same issue. I can't believe nobody is using WHMCS 6 with the SEO urls settings to ON... All I want is someone to confirm me. It works fine on my WHMCS 6 install, or yes, it does not work in my install either... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infopro Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Work for me on mine. Do you happen to know what version of Apache you're running on that server? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Apache 2.4.6 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infopro Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 There goes that idea.. You might want to open a ticket with WHMCS Technical Support about this and let them come by for a closer look. Are you using a default style? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 WHMCS says in their docs page they don't give support for mod rewrite rules but I will give it a try. It actually does not work with any theme, not the default six, or five which are included with WHMCS 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infopro Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Custom rewrite rules maybe, but there are docs for the defaults: http://docs.whmcs.com/Support_Center#Search_Engine_Friendly_URLS If there's nothing custom with yours and they're not working, I would think they'd want to take a closer look. Let us know how you make out. GL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 isn't this related to the Bug Report you filed last month - that Nate confirmed to be an issue...? http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?107443-SEO-Friendly-URL-s-don-t-work-in-6-1-1-under-SSL if so, and support can't help, you might need to wait until the next release. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infopro Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That certainly does explain the feeling of déjà vu I had this morning... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yggdrasil Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 Only the official .htaccess included with WHMCS, nothing custom. You are correct. Its the same issue as in the other thread which I was not able to solve. I don't know what happen, but I never received a reply to that other topic, so I was not aware Nate confirmed this a as bug. Bug: CORE-9280 It seems its not an issue on my side only, and they probably where able to replicate this. So I guess, its just waiting until a fix then. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
