Pages not showing unless I add .html extension

[joelmalach]

Hi. Something odd has happened to my Cubecart site today. Every page I click on shows 404 page not found.

After much checking, I have found that it will show the page if I add .html to the end of the url.

In my .htaccess file, it has 

    RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

Which I think is correct

On my Settings, Store Settings, Search Engines page, it has the following settings

Add category to product URL path - No

Add subcategories to category URL path - Yes

SEO URL Extension - None

Product , Category & Document Meta Data - Disabled - Use global metadata only

I don't recall changing any of these settings.

Please, does anyone know what the solution is?

No that .htaccess is wrong. Have a read of the release notes in the forum announcement.

The RewriteRule has been changed to:

RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

If your site uses a different web server (nginx, for example), you will need to figure out how to update it's location blocks.

Thanks both.

For clarity to anyone having the same problem, here's what is says in the Release Notes

If you see 404 errors after upgrade please either delete the .htaccess file so that it can automatically be regenerated or find;

RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

and replace with

RewriteRule ^(.*)?$ index.php?seo_path=$1 [L,QSA]

Now working like a dream!

Pleased to hear that fixed it. In most cases it will update the htaccess file automatically on upgrade, permissions permitting.

Hi. I just saw this discussion.

I had this issue but I clicked "Rebuild Sitemap" on maintenance and fixed the .html issue.
