    Default 1.2.4 to 1.3.8 stuck on define_main_page

    My original website: http://www.mountaininteriors.com which is put together with zen version 1.2.4 is broken. I think it has something to do with the host upgrading the MySQL version. Anyway, I've been putting this off since I inherited the site, so I figure this is a good time to upgrade. I copied the database over to another host/server, installed 1.3.8 and did the sequential database upgrades from 1.2.4 to 1.3.8. There were a few errors along the way, but all in all, it seemed like things worked out OK.

    Here's the problem, when I go to the new site: http://mi.avantidevelopment.com. No matter which link or product I choose, the define_main_page shows up. I've tried it with the default template and it does the same thing. I've realized that the urls turn out to be something like this: http://mi.avantidevelopment.com/inde...ex/cPath/30_59 and if I remove the "main_page" from the url, I can at least get to a category listing page, but still can't get to the product information page. what am I doing wrong?

    Turn off or remove the SEO URLs you have.

    Wow. I didn't realize that was in there. I turned the setting to false. Is that from an old plug in from 1.2.4, or is that standard for Zen Cart?

    There have been later releases since 1.2.4 and the way you have your seo url will error on most pages.

    Also the cpath is not a good idea as well you want to make that setting to Add cPath to product URLs? false

    Below is a good set of settings that work on tons of clients websites without issuse, please note they are running 1.3.8

    Code:
    Enable SEO URLs? true   
    Add cPath to product URLs? false   
    Add category parent to begining of URLs? true   
    Filter Short Words 0   
    Output W3C valid URLs (parameter string)? true   
    Enable SEO cache to save queries? false  
    Enable product cache? false
    Enable categories cache? false
    Enable manufacturers cache? false
    Enable articles cache? false  
    Enable information cache? false  
    Enable automatic redirects? true   
    Choose URL Rewrite Type Rewrite
