.htaccess and category photo issue

[webbusiness23]

Hi,

i read what a moderator said about URL rewrite and did as he said:

created a blank file in your shop’s root directory called .htaccess with chmod 777 permissions, went to Preferences and changed Friendly URL to Yes, clicked Save, then went to Tools > Generators and clicked “Generate .htaccess file”

After i've done that all the categories' images look like the attached photo.

How can i solve this?

Try to recreate the .htaccess file, it seems yours was not created properly.

The proper file size should be able 1.8kb

[webbusiness23]

I just recreated the .htaccess file and no result. Still getting the same question mark image.

Any other ideas?

[tomerg3]

Can you post you htaccess file here?

Here is the code from inside it:

Are you sure your server is running Apache with mod=rewrite enabled?

You can create a php file with the following command to find out.

<?
phpinfo();
?>

[webbusiness23]

Yes, i just talked to the support guys from Hostgator (my hosting) and they said it runs apache with mod=rewrite enabled.

[tomerg3]

Hmm, the file looks fine, I also assume that your shop is installed in the root directory.

Can you try and change the permissions of that file to 644?

[webbusiness23]

Done that too.
The file has now 644 permission. No result.
I get the same question mark image.

[tomerg3]

What is the URL?

[webbusiness23]

What is the URL?

I used an URL shortener. Here it is:

http://tiny.cc/xjH5k

Any subcategory that you choose acts the same: it shows me the same question mark image, instead of the original image.

[tomerg3]

Did you change category.tpl?

Your category image is linking to http://www.xxxxx.xx/41/arme-cu-lunetasniper.jpg (which doesn't exist)
instead of http://www.xxxxxx.xx/41-category/arme-cu-lunetasniper.jpg (which works just fine).

[webbusiness23]

No, i didn't change the category.tpl file.

If the second link works fine, can't i just change something in the .htaccess file to make it display the correct category image?

[tomerg3]

you should change the tpl file that creates that image link to add "-category " after the category id.

I'm not sure off the top of my head where that would be, I will try to take a look later.

[webbusiness23]

Did you get the chance to take a look and figure out which file you are talking about in the above post?

Does anyone know the name of the required file to edit?
