401 redirection problem

[tommyvideo]

How can I remove 401 ( authorization req. ) redirection from advanced seo .htaccess or I must edit 404handler.php ?

I would like redirect only 404 ( page not found )

####### Advanced SEO Start #######

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-([0-9]*)-c-([0-9]*).html* 404_redirector_nowhere.php?cat=$3&productid=$2$4 [NC] [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-([0-9]*).html* 404_redirector_nowhere.php?productid=$2$3 [NC] [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-([0-9]*).html* 404_redirector_nowhere.php?cat=$2$3 [NC] [L]

RewriteRule ^[^/]$ home.php [L]
RewriteRule ^[^/]$ product.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*) 404handler.php [NC] [L]

RewriteRule ^index-(.*).html(.*) 404handler.php? [NC] [L]

####### Advanced SEO Finish #######

Dear Tommy,

Thank you for asking

To redirect customers to your 401 page instead of SEO 404 please add the following line to the end of your .htaccess file:

ErrorDocument 401 /PATH/401.html

Please replace the PATH with actual path to your 401 page. If you do not have one - create it

Please let us know if you have any questions

I dont need 401 redirection.
I must remove 401 redirection from .htaccess because I have protected folders ( username and pass ) for my customers.

With active 401 redirection, my customers cant download order from protected folder.

Dear Tommy,

Seems there was a misunderstanding, I apologize for not clearing out the situation right away.

As I understood, you have a protected directory and a customer has to login to access it and needs to have an order. Thus authorization is required there. And users that do not have permission to access the order will see the 401 page.

Can you please explain :

I must remove 401 redirection from .htaccess because I have protected folders ( username and pass ) for my customers.

You see, most likely the path to 401 page is incorrect now (basically you do not have 401 redirection at this time), so when trying to access this page a 404 (not found) is returned. And for all not found pages you have redirection to our handler. So the 404 page is shown.

This is why we offered that solution : if 401 page exists then "not found" message will not be shown.

There is another solution - you can remove protection, but we thought that is not an option for you

Please show us your complete .htaccess file and we'll return it to you with necessary changes. Just specify if you want to keep the folder protected or not.

Sincerely

is it possible remove all error pages redirection from your .htaccess and 404handler ?

I would like use only .htaccess codes for seo urls without any error redirection

Hello Tommy,

It is possible to remove the redirection. In this case, just remove the line:

ErrorDocument 404 /<FOLDER OF YOUR STORE>/404_handler.php

This should not affect the SEO module in general.

Please check and let us know how it works

Dear Tommy

Thank you for understanding and update. That solution to create a 401 page is really the best
