Fixing Non-Valid URL - Oops! This does not appear to be a valid URL. Please try again.
-
Edit - Turns out I can't delete a question. I ended up finding out I'm supposed to email the Moz team at [email protected].
I did a search regarding the issue, but I only found answers for people using AWS. The results say the .htaccess isn't setup correctly, but I don't know how to fix that file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Matthew!
Thanks for reaching out! I appologize that it's taken us so long to get back to you, things have been a little hectic around here! My name is Erin, and I'm on the Moz Help Team. You're totally right, you'll want to shoot us an email at [email protected] with the URL you're using so we can dig into this and see if we can figure out why you're running into this "oops" error. Without knowing the URL you're trying to use, it's impossible for me to speculate as to what could be going on.
I'll leave this marked as "unanswered" in case you want to keep working with Bryan, and we look forward to your email!
Cheers!
Erin

I can find the .htaccess file no problem, I'm just not sure what's wrong with it. Here are the contents:
Use PHP5.4 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php54 .php
BEGIN WordPress
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]</ifmodule>END WordPress

These (.htaccess) are hidden files. You can use an FTP client to view/edit this file. Or modify your computer setting to "show hidden files" and you will then be able to access/edit this file from your local drive.
Be VERY careful when modifying this file as you can crash your site all together. Make sure to backup the original file before modifying. Hope this helps!

Moz not recognising url to setup a new account
I am attempting to setup a new account for my client but Moz is having a problem and not registering the url http://www.esc.uk.net/. I get the "oops" message & read the info on the FAQ page it refers to. Why do I keep getting an "Oops" message when I type and submit my campaign URL? To create a campaign, we need to receive a valid HTTP response from the web server hosting your site. While the site may be accessible from a standard web browser, other user-agents and search engine bots may receive a different response. If you receive this error, we recommend running a test by sending an HTTP response using any online HTTP tool. Using an online HTTP tool I believe I received an HTTP response. What else can I do?

Hi, I'm looking to find out why a google+ account that was rarely used has 10,000 views. I want to discover what sites it is linked to. I entered the page url but no joy. can anyone help?
I would like to find out where all this traffic is coming from. It is most likely from an out of date sales site etc, but it's important to find out as it could be the result of hacking etc. It appears the page is linked to another site and I would like to find out which one(s) Entering the page url is not getting results, can anyone help?

MozBar URL Flag shows wrong country
My site has been up for about 6 months, and is visible on google (http://www.forforce.com.br/). Even when searching for my exact brand name "For Force Suplementos", using google brazil from Curitiba (the stores physical city) I show up on page 3, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. I just today started looking into SEO. And we haven't done anything to earn a penalty. (There's no links actually anywhere but our facebook page to us, which I know is a problem I need to work on). Anyway, I just signed up for a MozPro subscription, and installed the MozBar. Looking at the On-Page elements, next to the URL, I see a U.S. flag, and am wondering if that is part of my problem. The site is physically hosted in the U.S., so maybe that's where the flag comes from (Quality) hosting is too expensive in Brazil). Is this something I should be worried about? I also am using CloudFlare to help speed up the site, which I don't think has a Brazil POP. Thanks in advance for any advice! -Eric
