Where are links to the product categories stored?

So, I'm trying to create a local development copy of an opencart site that has never had one before, and even worse, may be operating on modified code in opencart itself... So, I've mostly got it working, but when I try to go to different parts of the site, it tries to link me to an invalid location. This location happens to be a valid filepath for the most part.
For instance:
<a href="https://
/Users/seanramey/WebDev/slimsejuice-dev/index.php?route=product/category&path=109"><span class="main-menu-text">Premium E-Liquid</span></a>
The path in bold should be: "
http://localhost:8080/slimsejuice-dev/"
I can't seem to figure out how it's getting that file path into the link? Could anybody that knows more about Opencart help me out here?

Check your constants in config.php and admin/config.php --- one of those may be referencing your local file system, rather than the localhost file server.

That doesn't seem to be the issue. Both config.php files reference the filesystem, but as far as I know, they are supposed to. I'll post the full config.php files minus the database info.
admin/config.php:
Code: Select all

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost:8080/slimsejuice-dev/admin/');

Ok... So I don't know what in the world is happening, but the same link that I originally posted has changed. Seemingly for no reason.. Now the code looks like this:
Code: Select all
<a href="http://localhost:8080/slimsejuice-dev/premium-e-juice-e-liquid-vape"><span class="main-menu-text">Premium E-Liquid</span></a>
Thing is, this still gives me a 404 error and I don't know why. I have found one link that will work, my shopping cart link:
Code: Select all
<a href="http://localhost:8080/slimsejuice-dev/index.php?route=checkout/cart" class="icon-only top-menu-item-4"><i style="margin-right: 5px; font-size: 16px" data-icon=""></i><span class="top-menu-link">Shopping Cart</span></a>
Any ideas?

The SEO URL probably doesn't work because you don't have SEO URLs turned on in System > Settings > Server, and/or you didn't rename the .htaccess.txt file to .htaccess. Both of those are required for SEO URLs to work in OpenCart. (The .htaccess.txt file is invisible on most normal filesystems, so you'll need to use some type of file manager that lets you see an rename that in order to use it.)
