Page not found problems

[tony_sar]

Hello.
zencart version 1.38a

I redone an old catalog site using zencart, the old site had all their products in separate html file and all those still indexed on search engines .

those links were taking the customer to default 404 error on my host , So , after looking on the forum I found that i can use .htaccess in zencart to redirect all 404 to page_not_found.php on my site .

now no matter who comes my site , in admin , most links for those visitors are set to /page_not_found.php ..

even if i go to correct products , and look at my ip in admin , thats what i get .

any reason for that ? or is there any better way to redirect all 404's to my site rather then my default host 404 page ?

Paste your .htaccess file

i used the htaccess that is located in extras folder . was renamed to .htaccess with correct path to page not found.

you need to edit .htaccess file most likely
