Title: COM_VIRTUEMART_CAT_NOT_FOUND
Post by: FranzFromFar on June 17, 2014, 23:06:51 PM
Hello!
I'm creating my first VM shop...
with the sample data all is fine, but when I delete the sample data and I create my first product for a try, if I click on the "shop" link (negozio in Italian) I have this error:
COM_VIRTUEMART_CAT_NOT_FOUND
What can I do?
I use vm 2.6.6...
Thanks a lot

Suggests you have not successfully created a category for the product. The category comes first.
Turn on "Enable database Update tools" in VM Configuration/Shop/Advanced Settings and then on the Tools & Migration/DBG Tools panel  you should use  "Reset all tables and do a fresh install".

That enables you to start again, to add a category and then add your first product.

1st switch off ALL SEF on a site you are developing.. I see this so many times .. SEF is one of the last things you worry about when building a site

You can't develop/build a site if you have no idea what the real urls are!!!

2nd - the 404 says you are in a redirecting loop -- check your menus... root menu to VM, conflicting menus incl. unpublished and trashed
