Products wont show in front end up are in backend

Submitted by johnbanny on Mon, 2012-05-14 15:29 in

Hi, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

I have successfully installed PT on localhost and im running xampp if thats any use.

I managed to import my first product feed successfully (i think). In admin it is showing the correct number of products have been imported. However, when i go to frontend and i click any of the links, ie merchant, brand etc it brings back a page with this:

"Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost
05/14/12 16:27:01
Apache/2.2.21 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.21 OpenSSL/1.0.0e PHP/5.3.8 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1 "

Im not sure why this is or what i can do about it.

I have just done a simple search of "HP" for example and they seem to come up fine, as results, but when i click on any of the link, same/similar error comes up.

Any ideas? Im sure i just have not configured something properly or at all.

Thanks so much for your help
John

Hi John, and welcome to the forum!

It sounds like either;

a) Price Tapestry is installed in a sub-directory of your XAMPP web server root, but $config_baseHREF in config.php is incorrect, for example if you have installed the script in

/pt/

...then line 6 of config.php should be:

$config_baseHREF = "/pt/";

and/or if you have enabled clean URLs (Rewrite) with

$config_useRewrite = TRUE;

...then also RewriteBase in your .htaccess may be incorrect. It is possible that useRewrite was set to true but .htaccess has not yet been created from a copy of htaccess.txt - so if that's the case edit htaccess.txt, change line 5 as follows:

RewriteBase /pt/

...an save as .htaccess

One / both of the above should cover it...

Cheers,
David.
