Some categories showing 404

[[email protected]]

Hi

 

I'm setting up a new shop in prestashop, and I've got a problem, that I cannot figure out. Some of the categories suddenly shows error 404, even though they exist. Here is an example:

 

This category works fine

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/vine/roedvin/frankrig/

 

This category returns 404

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/vine/roedvin/australien/

 

If I change the friendly url of the last one to something else in the backoffice like this

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/vine/roedvin/australien-testing/

 

the category works fine. But when I change it back to just 

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/vine/roedvin/australien/

It still doesn't work.

 

So it seems prestashop somehow just don't want the URL 'australien'

 

I tried disabling friendly url's, but get the same result. I tried clearing the cache, with no luck.

 

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Really? I've tried in a lot of different browsers and they still give me 404. Does these work for you too?

I got blanks pages (404 error). You are using a URL rewrite module so try to learn there.

Thank you both for taking the time to look at this.

 

I've tried deactivating clean urls module and disabling url rewrite. It changes the URL to something like this

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/index.php?categories_rewrite=vine%2Froedvin&category_rewrite=australien&controller=category

 

But it still gives me 404 error

You are still using "something". See the difference:

 

http://mydomain.com/index.php?id_category=8&controller=category&id_lang=1
http://mydomain.com/en/8-dresses

 

http://test.vinkyperen.dk/index.php?categories_rewrite=vine%2Froedvin&category_rewrite=australien&controller=category

 

 

My URLs contain ID of the category.

You are right. I didn't realize.

 

Disabling the cleanURL's module did not remove the modules override classes, so they were still at play.

When I removed those, the URL looked like the first of yours, containing a category_id. Then it worked. I hent enabled the user friendly URL's and it looked like your second example, and it still worked. Then I enabled the cleanURL's module and it stopped working again.

 

So now I know, the problem lies within the cleanURL's module somewhere. I mistakenly thought, I had ruled that out. I'll try to figure out where.

 

Thank you so much for your help, narrowing this down.

I'm in the same case with the PrettyURLs module. Did you fix it ?

I am using the same thing long time now. What did you set in Seo&Url - category path mine is: {categories:/}{rewrite}  . Worked perfectly.
