Title: 404 - Category not found
Post by: ghooton on July 28, 2013, 15:35:34 PM
Just upgraded from 2.018a to 2.022a
Now when a user clicks on the 'Products Details' button a  404 - Category not  found page is displayed.

Thanks

All I did was install com_virtuemart.2.0.22a.tar.gz and com_virtuemart.2.0.22a_ext_aio.tar on top of version 2.018  using the normal Joomla install procedure.
I have Joomla 2.5.11
PHP Version 5.3.3
Linux 2.6.32-042
In Joomla I have the following  SEO Settings
Search Engine Friendly URLs   = Yes
Use URL rewriting = Yes
Adds Suffix to URL = Yes

Also, ver 2.0.20a works for me.

Probably you could remember what was typical url to your category in general before update.

Before update [ver 2.0.20b]

After update

I have no idea how to fix this.

Your .htaccess file in your web site root has right content?

Not sure, the .htaccess  did not change since version 2.0.20b
What must I look for in .htaccess ?

be careful doing htaccess things if you do not know much about it.

do you have "akeebah admin tools"?

I use their htaccess maker

Looking at this problem from a macro point of view I note the following:
versions before 2.0.21x work on my website.
Versions 2.0.21x and 2.0.22x  have problem as described.
So, giving that I have made no changes to my Joomal/php/mysql I have to ask what has changed in version 2.0.21 +
Is there some new requirement that has not been met?
Is there a bug in my Joomla setup that the old versions is immune to?
Is there a list of changes that I can look at?

I cleaned product URL in "B &W Print 12 x 8" product. And cleaned web site cache.
As far as I know there is no need to use product URL in most cases.
