SEO URLS lost all my categories

[dulrich]

Hi, I changed .htaccess.txt to .htaccess. and turned on SEO Urls My store is installed at root so I think that is all I needed to do, however all of my categories stopped resolving. When I turned off SEO URLS in settings all the links came back. What am I missing?

Just to be clear  .htaccess should not have dot (.) at the end of the file name.

Also check that you do not need to change RewriteBase / to something specific if you install into some directory under web directory.

Are you running Apache web server?

Ok Thanks for the tip, removing the (.) fixed the issue. When I read the instructions on the Abantecart  documentation site, the dot was there, Not knowing better I thought it belonged on the end of the name. I think, without going back to look, that it probably was suppose to be a period.
