"Page Not Found" in Product Listing

[doreen]

Need some help not sure what I'm doing wrong, but if you could help it would be greatly appreciated. Here is the website I'm working on : http://generalstore.site40.net/ ... if you go to the categories and then to the sub categories.. it will show the products listing ... the problem I am having is when you click on one of the product listings it brings up a "page not found" with the site map. So, Im thinking maybe I am missing a file or something. Any help on resolving this I will be eternally grateful

Your products have no product_type associated with them. As such it's unable to generate functional links to your product pages. Plus, your images don't exist either.
Clearly you're not using the Zen Cart admin area for entering your products. I would suggest that you use the supplied Admin area to enter some products so you can see what they really look like. Then either enter all the rest of your products using that way which works, or go back and fix whatever data import problem you're encountering when using whatever tools you're using.

Thanks... I will try that. I reloaded zen cart again last night thinking maybe I had forgotten a file/ one didnt install properly while uploading. I use phpadmin and csv files to upload my products to database. I did notice that when I click on the categories on the left and then a sub category and it brings up the product listings in under that they all seem to have a min:0 and units:0 in under the price.... not sure if that has anything to do with it. But I am going to try today and see what happens... thanks for the quick response.

BTW... I found this in one of the other forums: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=705427.... so I am hoping that is what is wrong with mine.. will keep you posted.

The problem is similar, yes.
Specifically, if you're going to upload products en masse without using any of the controls built-in to Zen Cart, then you're going to have to carefully study the correct layout of which fields belong in which tables, and what defaults need to be set even if you don't have data for them. Otherwise you're going to run into major data integrity problems and unexpected behavior as you've experienced.

At least create ONE regular product VIA THE ADMIN AREA, and use that to study what data *should* be in the tables.
Or, use a tool that's designed for doing data importing.
