Hi there,

That sounds like you have enabled search engine friendly URLs with..

$config_useRewrite = true;

...in your config.php, but have not yet created .htaccess which rewrites /merchant/ to merchants.php (as well as all the other search engine friendly rewrites), which is probably why you are getting the 404 error.

Create .htaccess from a copy of htaccess.txt. Alternatively, using your FTP program, right-click on htaccess.txt in the remote window, and the use the Rename function to change the name to .htaccess

That should be all it is!

Cheers,
David.

Thanks for your very quick
