An Apache rewrite file is provided for those who run Cubecart 5 on the Apache webserver. But what about those who use a web hosting company with Zeus instead of Apache. Well here's the script I currently use for my clients. It's working well for us but I can't provide any guarantees that it will work for you, so please test first.

To install it simply add the text below into a file and save it as rewrite.script, or download it. Then upload it to the root of your Cubecart 5 site.
