Hi, new to all of this so please be gentle! I have the beginnings of an AbanteCart shop, installed via softaculous. Unfortunately my (shared) server got a virus, causing some "infected" AbanteCart stuff to be deleted by the host...
I had taken a backup, manually, by copying the entire AbanteCart folder to my local storage via FTP. In the end, because I couldn't get anything to work after this virus, I deleted the installation of AbanteCart, reinstalled, then over wrote the AbanteCart directory with the offline backup. All admin pages work fine, I can see all my products with images, descriptions etc. and edit or add to them, but the storefront links are broken. Pages that are stock and untouched, like the contact page, still work...
The pages that work are all dynamic and are prefixed with index.php? (e.g. index.php?rt=content/contact) the pages that don't work are links to my categories or products which seem to be SEO URLs such as storeurl/category - seo urls is disabled in the admin panel and .txt remains on the end of the .htaccess file. Enabling seo urls and removing the .txt extension from .htaccess doesn't help, whichever way round I try the product links don't work.
On the storefront homepage I can still see the featured and recently added products with all relevant info too. When I click on them though, I get “The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an Error Document to handle the request.” Can someone help? *total newb*
Thanks in advance!
