something appear to be swapping your & signs to & in the URL which is why you are getting product not found.
I see you are on 1.5.0 - Is that 1.5.0.5 ? If not, I would seriously suggest upgrading to 1.5.0.5 at the least to remove any bugs.
I seem to remember a bug fix related to ampersands in URLS which may resolve your issue.
back to the htaccess problem.
We need to put a condition in the htaccess for the SSL because that is not on www. so we need to tell it not to rewrite to www. for SSL addresses.
The index.php and index.php?route=common/home both need to be redirected to just the domain name.
Please see amended htaccess code below which should hopfully fill all of that.
Code: Select all
# 1.To use URL Alias you need to be running apache with mod_rewrite enabled.
# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

### Additional Settings that may need to be enabled for some servers
### Uncomment the commands by removing the # sign in front of it.
### If you get an "Internal Server Error 500" after enabling any of the following settings, restore the # as this means your host doesn't allow that.
# 1. If your cart only allows you to add one item at a time, it is possible register_globals is on. This may work to disable it:
# php_flag register_globals off
# 2. If your cart has magic quotes enabled, This may work to disable it:
# php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
# 3. Set max upload file size. Most hosts will limit this and not allow it to be overridden but you can try
# php_value upload_max_filesize 999M
# 4. set max post size. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
# php_value post_max_size 999M
# 5. set max time script can take. uncomment this line if you have a lot of product options or are getting errors where forms are not saving all fields
