This looks like SEO related problem.

If you enabled SEO, please make sure you have file .htaccess.txt renamed to .htacess

[Beginner34]

I do A test for add a product and the same thing happening 

My files in my directory :
I have 3  in my   *public_html =color]

(1) .htaccess
my port is there and my URL ok 

(2) .htacess.   and  (3)  .htacces.txt   (same text)
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
FilesMatch

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
RewriteCond REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 L,QSA 

    * /admin = .htacces<Files *.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
Files

     */resources/dowload = .htaccess
order deny,allow
deny from all

      */system = .htaccesOrder Deny,Allow
Deny from all
 
   * admin/system/backup = .htaccess<Files *.*>
order allow,deny
deny from all
Files

I think for .htaccess it's ok

Maybe He have text inside wrong

Thank you

hi,
I search in Google for my answer and I find someone who explain with full détails (but it' s for a other opensource ecommerce solution but it's work very well)  I will give you if you have this problem :

3 steps to setup SEO URLs in Abantecart :

Step 1. : Enable the SEO URLs from the Admin section.

Go to System -> Server -> Use SEO URL’s

Step 2. : Rename the .htaccess.txt to .htaccess (Remove the .txt file extension)

folder: admin
          catalog
          dowload
          image
          install
          system
          .htaccess.txt
          config.php
          error_log
          index.php
          php.ini

** if like me you have 3 time htaccess = (1) .htaccess   (2) .htacess.   and  (3)  .htacces.txt   
I erase .htaccess.txt (3)  after I rename  (1) .htaccess. and finally rename (2) .htaccess

Step 3. : Fill in the SEO Keyword for all the Categories and Products.

SEO Keyword is unique. No duplicate is allowed.
SEO Keyword no space in between each word.
Go to Catalog -> Products -> Data -> Seo Keyword


Done ! Refresh your store shopping cart website to view the result.

If you are still having a problem on it, please check that Is your Abantecart installed into the Subfolder or subdirectory of your domain name ?

For example , http//www.your_domain_name.com

Your store is under [store] folder ,  http//www.your_domain_name.com/store

In this case , you have to do a minor modification on the .htaccess file located in the AbanteCart folder.

Open .htaccess, go to the Line 20

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
[Solution] : Edit RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /store/

Source Code after editing

# SEO URL Settings
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /store/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)\?*$ index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

Done ! Refresh your Abantecart from the browser again, SEO URLs should be working correctly.

Enjoy !

Thank's Abantecart to reply to my question

Hello all,

I found out that the SEO URL is not working when I enable it. I've check with my hosting provider and they have confirmed mod-rewrite for apache module is currently installed on my server and the .htaccess is already there but the .htaccess files are empty. Now when I click any link for example categories or products, only page '404 not found' will appear.

Help me please.

[abantecart]

You need to make sure that your main .htaccess file is renamed from .htaccess.txt
I refer to file on main abantecart directory.

File is here if you are missing it.
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/.htaccess.txt

[hafreen]

The file is already named as .htaccess and I cannot find any .htaccess.txt file. But the size of .htaccess is 0 bytes.
I also don't understand what I have to do with the file link that you've given. Assist me please.

[abantecart]

Add the file that I posted to your main abantecart directory. It should not be 0 size.

It works! Thank u so much!
