Hello
This is a new problem I'm having, never was an issue on Zencart so I am puzzled.
I want to redirect a specific URL for newsletter signups as follows:
tjn.co.za/newsletter => eepurl.com/cHBk
Done the redirect as a permanent redirect in CPanel but it doesn't work. I always end up at my Abantecart site with the error page.
Any suggestions?
Redirects in cPanel absolutely not related to AbanteCart.
Ask your hosting support to help you
Thank you for the reply.
My hosting company has replied as follows:
The difference from trophyjunction.co.za would be abantecart .htaccess rules present in tjn.co.za.
This seems to be disrupting the re-writes rules for newsletter redirect to mailchimp url.
You might have to consult a developer or abantecart support to resolve the apparent redirect conflict.
.htaccess file is as follows:
# 1. To use URL Aliases you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
# 2. In your abantecart main directory rename file htaccess.txt to .htaccess
# 3. Edit file .htaccess. If abantecart is installed in yourdomain/ subfolder change configuration line RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /subfolder/.
# Example: yourdomain.com/store use RewriteBase /store/
# Important to have / at the end of the line.
# 4. if htaccess and mode_rewrite still does not works - check and set apache2 webserver directive AllowOverride All for your virtual hosts
# For any support issues please visit: http://forum.abantecart.com
