Google error Alternate page with proper canonical tag

[artfulweb2]

Hi,
Got a mail from Google with the following error for my index.php on a bilingual site (english and french) and I really do not know what I am to do:

"Alternate page with proper canonical tag
These pages aren't indexed or served on Google"

Note that I am On Phoenix 1.0.99 with canonical tags module enabled but do not know where to look for the problem since it says that the tag is proper. Thanks for your help

Why do you think there is a problem?

Google messages are normal and do not indicate an error. E.g. from the demo, you might see something like

https://phoenixcart.org/demo/product_in ... ducts_id=9 (indexed)
https://phoenixcart.org/demo/product_in ... ducts_id=9 (Alternate page with proper canonical tag. These pages aren't indexed or served on Google)

Rather than being an error message, that's a "system working as expected" message.

As to whether you can configure Google to only email you when there is a problem and not to tell you that everything is working fine in a vaguely disturbing manner, I don't know.

Thanks, Matt. I added script to .htaccess to force https in case there was a way it was picking up an http.
