I am following the directions to install. I run setup.php and get success on all three items. After that I go to /admin/ and register and import the feed. At this point, everything looks ok.
The problem happens when I go to merhchants.php. There is the merchant I created, but when I click on it, I get a 404 error. The url is going to http://hostname/merhcantname/ but there is no merchantname/ directory. Am I supposed to create this, or is it created automoatically?
Also, I am under the impression that the script creates .html pages for all of the products, but in my case it is not working.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
Also check that you have coppied htaccess.txt to .htaccess as this is what enables you to use "virtual" .html files. The script doesn't actually create the files, it can use Apache's "mod_rewrite" to make it look like they are .html files.
Check the info for enabling search engine friendly URLs here...

If you're still having trouble after the advice here (thanks, Adam!) the easiest thing to do is to post your URL (you can always delete it once you're working) as it's normally pretty easy to spot exactly what's wrong when looking at the actual site.
Cheers,

Hi Chris...
Instead of using merchants.php - you need to use this link - http://hostname/merchant - if you have installed the script into a directory then this - http://hostname/folder/merchant
This will bring up your list of merchants and should work fine.
As to the .html pages - you need to open up config.php - where it says - $config_useRewrite - make sure you have this written there - $config_useRewrite = true;
This will make the end product pages .html
Hope this help
