Long Site address - what have i done now......

[newshopbloke]

Hello all,

Tried searching the forum for this,

Im using the latest version of sellerdeck and my web addresses are long like this:

"www.stageprint.co.uk/cgi-bin/bb000999.pl?ACTINIC_REFERRER=http://www.stageprint.co.uk/cgi-bin/bb000999.pl&PRODUCTPAGE=index.html"

Which im sure you will agree is no good, do I fix it in network settings or is it server side ? Im on 1and1 standard.

Michael

p.s. ive got referral scheme switched off

Also I would like to get rid of the acatalog folder and have it straight from the domain name, unless anyone advises me not to

Thanks,

If its 1and1 related I will move without hesitation.

That's the cookie error bounce page ...

[newshopbloke]

Thankyou very much,

I will now search the forum again.

Oh well, nothing in a forum search for this.
I have no idea what this means but its the actual address showing in the browser bar. T he website works without crashing on the server, but I don't know what 'cookie error bounce' means or does. ?

[peblaco]

Not related to hosting. There are usually script pages or logged in links that add a referrer on the end of the page to keep users logged in or bounce you to another page.

[newshopbloke]

Fixed

Really sorry about this question.

Ive only just realised that ive been logged in as me, for ages probably, thanks peblaco. I never had user accounts with actinic and my brain is still stuck in actinic mode.

Is it worth getting rid of /acatalog/ or changing it, or can it cause more problems than its worth, I think ive read that all external links would be lost and google would need to update all over again.

Is there a forum archive ? I would rather find the answer myself than use up peoples precious time here.

[peblaco]

You can change store folder name, however you should add a .htaccess for redirects and to update links.

[newshopbloke]

Thanks peblaco,

I can do the .htaccess ive done it before, but it sounds messy.

Don't want to lose links, google or rankings though so wont touch it.
