Page not found

[zigzap]

Seems like everything is setup correctly on the admin side... the page even displays correctly but when I click into a category I get "Page not found".

Can someone tip me off to what I did wrong?

Looks like you enabled the SEO URL setting, but missed the note in it's description about uploading the .htaccess file from the download package.
This option will replace your normal URL's (Ex: /links/browselinks.php?c=2) with more spider friendly URL's (Ex: /links/main-category/). Please note that you must upload the .htaccess file that comes in the "Extras (do not upload)" folder of the download package to your /links folder if you intend to use this option. ;)

Brian,

I have the .htaccess file in place in the /deals folder but I still get the "page not found" error.

Would I need to amend the contents of this .htaccess file to the .htaccess file in the root of the site?

Regards,
Lane

Try looking in the deals/.htaccess file for this line near the top:
#RewriteBase /links

Replace with this:
RewriteBase /deals

And see if you get any better results.

Thank you that made the redirects work but I am getting a 404 error for "browsecategory.php" which I can't find inside the release. Is there something I have configured incorrectly to be causing this?

Update: I made an error updating .htaccess file (I update the one in the root of the folder instead of inside the /deals/ folder) which was causing the file not found error.

Since changing things back to the way they are supposed to be I am back to the "page not found" error.

Here are the htaccess files I have in use:

Please disregard my last post, I was putting the wrong htaccess file in place.
