[Solved] Presta 1.5 > BUG? Front office unable to load: 404 not found. BO loading without problems

[TourisT]

Hi,

 

I had my frontoffice loading without problem on:

aaa.mydomain.com/site5/

 

and my backoffice loading without problem on:

aaa.mydomain.com/site5/myadminfolder

 

Problem: after adding some add-ons (is it linked to the problem?) and some categories creation etc., my front office refuses to load on aaa.mydomain.com/site5/ and displays an apache 404:

The requested URL /site5/fr/ was not found on this server.[/i]
[i]Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at aaa.mydomain.com Port 80

 

I don't manage to understand why. Here is what I am thinking about:

1. Prestashop's url rewrite does not work as it should and does not redirect aaa.mydomain.com/site5/ properly (actually it redirects to http://lwi.luxwebimport.com/site5/fr/ )

 

I think this is it as a fresh install of presta seems to be working (see end of this post)

 

2. My apache is configured like:

 

<VirtualHost *:85>

ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

 

DocumentRoot /var/www/site5

<Directory />

Options FollowSymLinks

AllowOverride None

</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/site5>

Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews

AllowOverride None

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Order allow,deny

allow from all

</Directory>

 

 

[...]

 

</VirtualHost>

 

3. Any other guess?

 

I would appreciate if you could point me any option NOT to reinstall fully prestashop (which I however tried and works without problem).

Important note: making the new install point to the old DB using

/config/settings.inc.php ends in a similar scenario (same 404 apache page)

 

Please HELP!

 

Thanks,

That was NOT a problem of prestashop, but only my own mistake

 

Indeed, using AllowOverride None in apache config file prevents from using .htaccess which enables the mod rewrite according to prestashop settings.

 

If you come accross the same issue, this may also be of a great help:
