Hi i have used prerender for my angular project i did everything for activate prerender however not success

My web site url is:http://ugurdogrusoy.com/preparing/

firstly addred

Then added prerender token inside .htaccess you can see rule and token below

RewriteEngine On # If requested resource exists as a file or directory # (REQUEST_FILENAME is only relative in virtualhost context, so not usable) RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}%{REQUEST_URI} -d # Go to it as is RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# If non existent
# If path ends with / and is not just a single /, redirect to without the trailing /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^.*/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ $1 [R,QSA,L]      

# Handle Prerender.io
RequestHeader set X-Prerender-Token "MY_TOKEN"
   

RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} baiduspider|facebookexternalhit|twitterbot|rogerbot|linkedinbot|embedly|quora\ link\ preview|showyoubot|outbrain|pinterest [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _escaped_fragment_

# Proxy the request
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://service.prerender.io/http://%{HTTP_HOST}/preparing/$1 [P,L]

# If non existent
# Accept everything on index.html
RewriteRule ^ /index.html

i can't escape We haven't seen a request with your prerender token yet

where have i done wrong you can help me ?

Thanks

I have had the same issue, our site is using react, and we even tried to shift the config file further up to the root. Still the same issue. Any luck with this ?

you are awesome!! i almost wept when i finally saw the token not used message go away. thanks!!

Just adding 2 cents:
On my hosting provider (Dreamhost), the [NC,OR] yielded strange results when just copy/pasting. On RewriteCond with only one line, I had to write it as
RewriteCond … googlebot|yandex|…|…|… [NC]
(re-writing the RewriteCond with one per line also worked, but not with [OR] on the first line. This would work:)

RewriteCond … googlebot [NC]
RewriteCond … yandex [NC,OR]
RewriteCond … WhatsApp [NC,OR]

note the seemingly missing OR on the first line

On the other hand, my second cent is that last WhatsApp entry - turns out WhatsApp does the scraping directly from inside the app (at least it did on my android phone today ;) So my full line is now
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} googlebot|bingbot|yandex|baiduspider|facebookexternalhit|twitterbot|rogerbot|linkedinbot|embedly|quora\ link\ preview|showyoubot|outbrain|pinterest\/0\.|pinterestbot|slackbot|vkShare|W3C_Validator|WhatsApp [NC]

(And my full htaccess
