I installed a custom theme on my opencart website. I sell single product and would like to redirect my customer to "product" page so when they type my web address it will take them straight there. How to do it in htaccess? Or maybe there is another way?
You don't redirect to the product.php file. You redirect to the location you see in your browser address bar when you go to the page you want the redirection to go to. Go to the page you want the redirection to go to and look at the URL that page is at. That is the location to redirect to.
Make sure you have Use SEO URLs set to Yes in your admin Settings under the Server tab. Make sure you have a SEO Keyword for your category and product.
Add this below to the bottom of your .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?yoursite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://yoursite.com/categoryname/productname [L,R=301]
Change the yoursite.com in both places to the URL of your site. Change the categoryname to the name of the category your product is in and the productname to the name of your product. You can also leave out the categoryname and just have the productname if you like. Now when anyone goes to your site root they will be directed to the page for your product.

I did everything like you told me to do and it still take me to the main webpage as always. And now when I click on the category tab it says "Not found". It looks like it was trying to find the SEO keywords.
Opencart version 3.0.3.2
You must be doing something wrong then because I tested it and it works. Do you have the default unedited .htaccess file that comes with OC and do you have mod_rewrite installed on your server? What is the URL to your product?
To answer your questions. According to godaddy my linux server comes with mod_rewrite already installed. URL to my product is: http://bow-rod.com/index.php?route=prod ... duct_id=50
Opencart version 3.0.3.2
That is not an SEO link to your product so your SEO URL's are not working. You need to have Use SEO URLs set to Yes and you need to have a SEO Keyword set for your product. You also need to have the .htaccess file renamed from .htaccess.txt to .htaccess. When you have the SEO URL's working then the addition I showed you for the .htaccess file will work.
Okay. I enabled SEO links. Added SEO keywords to "Category" and "Product".
Added this to my .htaccess and rename it from .htaccess.txt to .htaccess
"RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mywebsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://mywebsite.com/bowrod system/bowrod [L,R=301]"
I replaced the mywebsite.com with my web address
Now when I go to the link bow-rod.com it says:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Apache Server at bow-rod.com Port 80"
Added this to my .htaccess and rename it from .htaccess.txt to .htaccess
"RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?mywebsite\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?$ http://mywebsite.com/bowrod system/bowrod [L,R=301]"
I replaced the mywebsite.com with my web address
Now when I go to the link bow-rod.com it says:
"Internal Server Error

Also when I type my web address it does take me to : "http://myweb.com/bowrod-system/bowrod" link but it says:
"Not Found
The requested URL /bowrod/bowrod-system/bowrod was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

"Not Found

Your SEO URLs are not working. Did you rename the .htaccess.txt file to .htaccess and is it the default one that comes with OC?
Here is my .htaccess file :

Is all the code in the .htaccess file on one line like you show there? It should look like this:

Yes use the one that comes with OC.
Also do you have your site in the main web folder or do you have it in a named folder in the main web folder?
It looks like you have it in a folder named bowrod and if that is the case then change this in the .htaccess file:
RewriteBase /
To this:
RewriteBase /bowrod/
