BJC Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hello, Urgent - our products are getting found on Google, but taking the user to the "404 Page not Found" page. I've noticed that the urls have "?controller=404" added to the end - when this part is removed the links works. The site itself works fine (www.thesilverwareguy.com). Any idea what could be causing this and more importantly how to fix it? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi, have you regenerated your htaccess and toggle on and off Friendly URL? make sure to have a backup first of your database and PrestaShop files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJC Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 This has all recently been done as I was having a redirect issue with the cart pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJC Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I am worried that if I try regenerating htaccess and turn friendly url on/off again, the cart pages will stop working as I had to hire somebody to fix that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 That is why you have a backup! Confirm that it is working first before you touch that. It is good that you are not push click happy with the buttons. If you confirm the backup of your 1)Database 2) PrestaShop files, then there is little to be worried about. When did this start happening? Any changes that you did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJC Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 I will give it a try, but I'm certain this started happening last week when the redirect issue in the cart pages was fixed. However, I don't know what the changes were to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin utterback Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Also, you may want to try and toggling the Disaple Apache MultiViews, and Redirect to Canonical URL. After you confirm the backup of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJC Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 How do I regenerate the htaccess file in 1.5.4.1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-rez Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 (edited) I have exactly the same problem. Actually I noticed this problem accidentally when I was monitoring my Google Analytics. I get the ?controller=404-admin404 at the end of link and when I remove it the link works correctly. My site seems working fine and apparently there is no problem. Yesterday I generated robots.txt file because I thought it maybe an indexing issue by Google. I checked today my BO > Stats and I see there are some "Pages not found". I've opened a topic here is the link: http://www.prestasho...ages-not-found/ Thanks. Edited July 28, 2013 by bruce-rez (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
