Both rules should work

The 2nd one doesn't rewrite index.php? or any other urls with a question mark

I have the 2nd one too, so first one might be from 1.4.x

Thanks for that asphole but still no joy.
I will try simons suggestion about loading a separate installation of OC on my server to see if it behaves the same with a default store but i will ask a friend for help with this. In the meantime if anyone has any more suggestions please feel free.
cheers

Hi
Just thought i would update you so far. I will get help hopefully to install a default OC soon but have since contacted hostgator, this is what was said:
Hi,

If it's the .htaccess causing the problems, yes, this would likely help. However, correct me if I am wrong, this issue was occurring before you changed the .htaccess?

I'm noticing that many of the aliases in url_alias do not work according to how the RewriteRule expects them to.

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/index.ph ... _paintings
http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/index.ph ... s_by_price
http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/index.ph ... ct/special

However, both of these work:
http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/index.ph ... _=about_us
http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/about_us

As such, I do not believe the issue is being caused by your .htaccess upon closer inspection. This seems to be a more application-level issue. Have you been making any changes in the admin panel lately that might be causing these issues? We would be happy to take a look for you if you gave us admin login information.
I then gave him permission to login and his conclusion was;
Hi Mark,

Unfortunately, it seems to be a software bug, which, I'm afraid, is outside the scope of our support. We apologize for the inconvenience. I recommend that you submit a bug with the OpenCart developers, and optionally select a different shopping cart software. We have a few available to choose from in Fantastico.

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Cheers,
Fantastico i don't think so, i've put in too much hard work to jump ship. Please help.

Of course they dont want to get involved if it isn't their service.

This certainly is not a bug, but from your .htaccess I see that it was 1.4.x and you have upgraded to 1.5.x

Something has definitely gone strange with the update.

So, I refer back to my post about try a default installation and/or doing a file compare with your files against a stock OC download to see what the differences are.

Hi Simon
Still waiting for friend to help load default OC but in the meantime i have tried to think this through logically. I run applemac & time machine and between them i now have the history between the site being normal and being the way it is now.
The files i went on before the fault appeared were;
http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... d0297e236d

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... d0297e236d

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... d0297e236d

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... er_name=aj

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... ame=callan

http://www.marmalade-art.co.uk/admin/in ... ame=callan
Hope this helps :-\

They are all admin URLs which require a login.

However, seeing them is not really going to help I'm afraid.

tell your friend you will buy him a beer or three if he helps you out sharpish.

Have you tried clearing the system cache just in case? You haven't really said whether you did upgrade and whether the site ever worked before/after the upgrade? A little more info may be useful. (ie if it did work, what changes have been made since)

Can you switch to default template in admin to see if that fixes it?

If so we know its the template

Hi Simon
Mate is away for a few days, typical.
In admin it only gives the option of default, at the foot of admin it is version 1.4.9.1. I do though have my error logs at the time of the fault.

I was under the impression you were on 1.5.x

What do you error logs say ?

Delete all files (except "index.html") in "system/cache".

OK, clear your error log and browse a few pages in your site, there seems to be some underlying problem with cache files and sessions which is probably the root cause of all of this.

After browsing, check error log again and post contents please

Hi Simon
I have done what you advise the site still shows "The page you requested cannot be found!" under categories & manufacturers, the error log is showing nothing at all.

I'm afraid it is a case of waiting for your friend to come back to install a default version to see if the problem is the same.

What you can do in the mean time is see what differences there are between your store files and the default by using a program such as Winmerge

Thanks Simon
My mate also has a pc for the above programme as it does not support mac so we shall see. I still cannot understand how nothing has been altered at all, its working fine then decides to give up the ghost. I have had 4 months of tedious work loading images giving each one a description etc etc to now feel it has been a waste of time and i would have been better selling my wares up and down the high street strapped to my back. ???
Ps Back soon hopefully.........

Can you confirn that you have deleted ALL the files in system/cache? Sometimes when using ftp software to do this you have to refresh the screen in order to view more cached files. The permissions look ok but how are you checking them? I once had an issue where my ftp client showed one set of permission but via cpanel they were completely different. I reset them via cpanel and it solved my issue.

Can you also try uploading another template and testing the site? It sounds as if someone has edited the 'default' theme which is a recipe for disaster on your next upgrade!!
