Can I still use SEO Link Store if my website uses static HTML?

If your website has the Apache web server, you can instruct the web server to treat .html files as PHP. You should create a file named ".htaccess" in your root directory and add the following to it:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html (Note: if you use ".htm" files, replace the ".html" above with ".htm")

 

What do I do if the PHP code can't find the local XML file?

The script might have trouble locating the local XML file that you created if you're placing your PHP code in numerous directories. If this is the case, open up your PHP script and make the following change:

$LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = 'local_#####.xml'; Find the above line, and change it to:

$LOCAL_XML_FILENAME = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/local_#####.xml'; The "#####" needs to match what's in your script. This should resolve the issue.

 

How do I turn my .html and .htm pages into ASP pages without changing the extension on an IIS Web Server?

Follow these steps:

1) Open IIS
2) Open the site you want to change
3) Select Properties
4) On the directory tab, check to see if have an application with execute permissions: "Script Only" or "Scripts and Executables"
5) Click on the Configuration Button
6) Copy the Path from the .asp application mapping
7) Click Add
8) Enter the executable path (and Extension (.htm) and click OK.
9) Close the window and come back to site, just to make sure it works.
