I have magento enterprise 1.13.0.2. Option Use Web Server Rewrites is enable. I know when category was created magento community automaticly creates url rewrites for this category. But I wonder why magento enterprice does not do the same thing?
301s have been removed on 1.13EE - you will have to rely on canonicals.

I'm using fishpig wp integration to magento.
I have blog.site.com and I want to keep this domain, while I'm using magento worpdress.
How can I Integrate an existing WordPress blog and keep the same URL's. So that my SEO will not be affected?
Is this possible?
Yes it's possible. You can integrate your existent wp blog in a new Magento store instance or integrate a new blog in an ancient store.
For integrate your wp blog in your Magento instance, you can declare blog.site.com as base_url (secure and|or insecure) in your magento store.
Before that you must check in your wp blog if these urls like : catalog, checkout, admin, api, etc.. it's not already used.
You can retrieve every routings parameters in app/{pool}/{namespace}/{module_name}/etc/config.xml in <frontend><routers><args<frontName> section
After that, you have just to dump your wp db datas in your magento db.
In my memories, I think it is possible to set up a prefix for the tables used by wp fishpig
I intially had an instance of magento installed that was using a databse, then i intalled another intance of Magento Using the same database, but the problem that occured is that now my old website is getting redirected to new website.
I had configured my old Website's url from localhost to somethingElse.
So, is there a method such that both the websites use the same Database. If so then how to configure it to do so?
You don't need to install another Magento in order to create a new Website, Magento already supports multiple websites on the same instance.
Here is a detailed explanation on Magento websites,stores and store views: http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/overview-how-multiple-websites-stores-work/
I am using Magento 1.7.0.2
My Store admin URL is for example: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/admin
I want to Rewrite this URL as : http://www.mydomain.com/admin
I have also tried "Admin Rewrites" Magento Extension, But it couldn't Help.
Currently I can't work directly in live website as it may lead to big trouble, So I am working in LOCALHOST now.
How Can I Achieve this ?
Thanks.
I got my solution from this following Blog Link:
Magento Admin URL Rewrite - Set /index.php/admin to /admin (Javascript required)
Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension)
The just linked blog-post is referencing and explaining the usage of a Magento Extension called Admin Rewrites (Magento Extension).
The extension itself is available on Github and can be installed via Magento Composer Installer and/or Modman:
https://github.com/clockworkgeek/Magento-Admin-Rewrites
Alternatively it is also listed in Magento Conect (Magento Conect 2.0 Key).
Another method of doing this does involve modifying a core Magento file (which is a big no, no for upgrading purposes) but works all the same: http://www.code007.ro/magento-how-to-remove-index-php-from-admin-url/
I have a magento site running locally using WAMP and it works great. However I need to create a different site so I created a folder for this new site under htdocs.
In that folder I loaded the Magento files.
Created a new database for newsite with all rights in phpmyadmin.
Went to the localhost:8888/newsite and started Magento installation wizard.
In the configuration section of the wizard I entered all the info required: db name, user, password. For URL Base I used the default (http://localhost:8888/newsite). Selected allow charts and Allow apache rewrites. Finished installing magento.
Now magento is running on newsite. I can see the front and back-end of the site.
Here is the problem: When I create a category and/or subcategory, magento does create the menu link but when I click any category, the browser takes me to a 404 not found. Upon analyzing the URL that took me there i see that the URL is : http://localhost:8888/newsite/category.html BUT by adding "index.php" into the URL (http://localhost:8888/newsite/index.php/category.html , the page does work!
So this means magento IS creating the page for the category but the linking is somewhat wrong.
Now, I've been making sure that rewrite is enabled and after all, the other site I mentioned I have is working properly, so I assume rewrite is properly enabled.
So I need help finding:
Why is one site working and the other isn't?
How can I fix this issue?
Thank you!
Sounds like you haven't copied over the .htaccess file (in your Magento root folder). You need this file for the Apache rewrites to work.
I have enabled the SEO friendly URL on Magento 1.6 and it's working perfectly for category.
But the product URLs are showing the old URL format.
My current product URL looks like:
http://example.com/catalog/product/view/id/123/s/uppa-baby-vista-stroller/category/133/
What I should be like is:
http://example.com/uppa-baby-vista-stroller.html
I've already re-indexed the catalog and cleared the cache, but it's not rewriting the products with the SEO friendlier version of URLs.
I assume you are magneto default code.
After enabling SEO friendly URL don't forget to re-index from Magento admin.
The issue is that URL rewrites are not occurring,
Are you running Enterprise Edition 1.13?
If yes, more than likely your issue is with Magento's reindexing not occurring automatically. In 1.13, the reindexing occurs with a cron job. You must set up cron to run on your local server so that it will run automatically. To check if it has been setup, go to System->Index Management and check to see the last time product url reindexing has occurred. The reindex is what sets up the URL rewrites, you can check in the database to confirm that reindexing never happened (specifically in Enterprise Edition, look at tables enterprise_url_rewrite, enterprise_url_rewrite_redirect, and enterprise_url_rewrite_redirect_rewrite. See if these tables have rewrites for each of your products). If your products don't appear to have url rewrites in these tables, than reindexing never happened. My guess is that this is your issue if you are running EE 1.13. Follow this link to set up cron.
how to set cron job for reindex
If you are running Magento prior to EE 1.13 OR any version of Community edition, make sure that SEO Friendly URLs are enabled AND that you have reindexed. If this still doesn't work, make sure the Magento Core code hasn't been modified.
