Will pay for Support - 'Friendly URLs' not working after upgrade

[mayday78]

I have a specific problem. I'll pay $20 via PayPal if you can provide the solution.

 

I'm upgrading from 1.2.5 --> 1.4.7.3. (although I'll now switch and upgrade directly to the latest)

 

I've been able to solve most problems so far ... but when I turn on Friendly URLs, they don't work.

 

So, if I turn OFF Friendly URLs, I can browse my product catalog and the upgrade seems to have gone smoothly. But when I turn the Friendly URL option back on, none of the re-written links work.

 

dev.outdoorstore.ch is my new working environment and you can see the problem there.

 

 

Example:

URLs like http://dev.outdoorst...p?id_category=5 work.

but the friendly url: http://dev.outdoorst...h/de/5-klettern does not work. It returns the 404.

 

- Don't pay attention to how jacked up the theme and content look. I'm just asking here about how to fix this 'Friendly URLs' problem.

 

Live site ishttp://www.outdoorstore.ch/ (1.2.5)

 

Many thanks in advance for any help!

Did you delete the htaccess and re-generate a new one, as the content of the file changes a lot between 1.2 and 1.4.

 

You can generate a new file by using tools>generators in your back-office.

Yes, the .htaccess file is new.

 

Looks like this:
