Magento mod_rewrite doesn’t work
3After installation of Magento and ensuring that mod_rewrite is enabled and working on my apache server, the Magento shopping cart still gives me the below error:
Whoops, our bad…
- The page you requested was not found, and we have a fine guess why.
-
- If you typed the URL directly, please make sure the spelling is correct.
- If you clicked on a link to get here, the link is outdated.
The Fix
Log into the admin area and navigate to system->cache management. Click the “refresh” button next to “catalog rewrites”. That’ll fix’er. It’s pretty dumb that this must be done on a fresh install, but it does the trick.
Hi I'm Nick Bartlett and thanks for visiting my blog. I'm not much of a writer; many of my posts are short and to the point while others are meant to be a reference for myself and other web developers.
Thanks! Worked like a charm.
Thanks worked! The backend layout looks different now as I’m writing this 2 years after but was still able to figure it out using this article. Thanks.
Never encountered such a strange problem. :~)
