Hi David , one more problem , now rewrite is switched on , when I go to categories.php all the links are there but when clicked the link is dead , is there something else i need to change for categories, merchants and brands? for the links to work?
many thanks
Hi Jonny,
I've just checked your site. When you enable rewrite, the URL for the merchant, category and brand indexes change - however I notice that you have remove the links generated by index.php so therefore you have probably not realised this.
Instead of:
http://www.yoursite.com/brands.php go to http://www.yoursite.com/brand/
http://www.yoursite.com/categories.php go to http://www.yoursite.com/category/
http://www.yoursite.com/merchants.php go to http://www.yoursite.com/merchant/
The links will then work fine. However, I also notice from your site you are referencing a lot of your resources using a relative URL, which doesn't work when you use rewrite, because the web browser thinks you are in a subdirectory of your site. Have a look at the following thread, which is about the same problem:

Hope this helps,

Hi Jonny,
If you have installed the script into a sub-directory, for example "shopping", check that you have edited your .htaccess file as follows:
RewriteBase /shopping/That should be all it is. Any problems if you could email me a link to your site i'll take a look for you...
Cheers,
David.
