Bitnami AbanteCart cart .htaccess for SEO

[rvalani]

Hi people,
I am new to AbanteCart cart and learning to setup a store.
I have watched the video of SEO url by AbanteCart cart and tried it but It didn't work as I am using bitnami AbanteCart cart
I also tried https://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/Apache/htaccess_configuration this link but could not figure out how to make it work
Note: I work locally so I have few products in my local machine and hosting it locally (eg:localhost:8088/abantecart/)

I am looking for a set of steps if someone can help me I would really appreciate that
Thanks a lot

Hello and welcome to AbanteCart.

Here is the link to SEO configuration manual
http://docs.abantecart.com/pages/tips/enable_seo.html

Make sure you handle .htaccess files as instructed.

It is pretty easy, rename the file to be  .htaccess and update your RewriteBase from / to /abantecart/ for your case.

Hello.

Your question is related to Bitnami local server configuration. Nothing to do here with AbanteCart.
Anyway I think you need to find httpd.conf or htaccess.conf file in your Bitnami
and add this code

Code Select Expand


<Directory /pathtoabantecartbitnami/abantecart/htdocs/>
 
  <IfModule rewrite_module>
RewriteEngine on
# Rewrite section for retina high-res images with @2x in the end of filename base on cookie HTTP_IS_RETINA
# To emulate Retina mode on your NON-Retina display, add HTTP_IS_RETINA cookie in your browser
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} HTTP_IS_RETINA [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !@2x
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(gif|jpg|png)$ $1@2x.$2
# if @2x isn't available fulfill the original request
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)@2x\.(gif|jpg|png)$ $1.$2

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteBase /abantecart/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
  </IfModule>
</Directory>


Please note you need to restart Bitnami php to apply changes
