I've had a search for this, but not come up with anything.

I asked my host and the apache module mod-rewrite is enabled. My htaccess.txt is renamed to .htaccess

I enabled SEO URL and my products no longer appear, just a 404 error.

What am I doing wrong?

Sorry if this is an oft-asked question but I'm a bit stuck as to what I am doing wrong.

are you using a subdirectory for your shop? like "shop" ?
edit the htaccess.txt file and change it to .htaccess and for
RewriteBase /
change to
RewriteBase /shop/

I was originally, but reinstalled the shop to operate straight from http://mydomain.com

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow

that is not the htaccess.txt that came with opencart. You need to merge the 2 into a single .htaccess

hmm, that's not going to work is it as I'd have to re-install everything.

can someone post what code should be in the .htaccess file?

Code: Select all

# 2. In your opencart directory rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.

# For any support issues please visit: http://www.opencart.com

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

thanks, I managed to find that.

I had to insert a # before the options symlink line.

Why can't you just download the zip and open it and copy one file?

I could actually see that file on it's own when I downloaded and unzipped (maybe because I'm on a mac?)

In any case, copied the code from elsewhere and included the # and it works fine now.

Thanks for those that helped!
