[Zen Cart] Server Switch - Category Problem

Hey J,
My host recently upgraded their server and switched me to it (sounds like I have the same host as some others on here.)

Ever since the switch my website loads but 4 categories out of 20 or so, only load a blank page. I can't find any obvious errors so I'm wondering if it is possibly related to Magic SEO.

Thanks,
lindasdd

Your host is likely running on IIS with ISAPI Rewrite installed, which has serious troubles with some Rewrite Rules for 4 category depth (it was reported to the authors and confirmed, but does not fixed up to now).
I hardly recommend to use IIS Mod-Rewrite with MS IIS web server.

Actually when I said 4 out of 20, I wasn't referring to depth of category. All of my categories have only 1 category of depth.

This problem is actually one where 4 of the 1st level categories don't load. I will PM you the site just in case that wasn't clear.

It looks like as a Zen Cart problem (ZC script die expectedly before complete page is processed). I recommend you to temporary disable MSU (please see docs how to do it) and check what error message you receive. Once you correct it, you can enable MSU again.

When you say the 'docs' do you mean the docs folder of the Magic install I have.

The docs folder only has "Installation and update"

I mean the docs folder in the installation package. To disable MSU, simply comment out installation line in includes/application_top.php file.

I removed MSU and now the category pages are loading ok.

So.....how do we figure out what portion of MSU related to the pages needs to be adjusted to fix,etc.

I'm assuming I should just do teh whole htaccess thing again, but I'm worried that will change all my category links which will give me a lot of dead links in other places.

If all pages are now loading correctly, please contact your host. There is something wrong with PHP installation on upgraded server.

J,
You realize if I say that to them they aren't going to take it seriously.

Can you possibly provide a quick reason for why that would be the case based on what has happened here?

Thanks,
lindasdd

Magic SEO URLs seem to be having a really positive effect on our ranking and look so much cleaner in the browser than a random set of numbers. The sitemaps have also saved me a lot of time!
