[yellow1912]

Please post your includes/configure.php as well (please take out all passwords etc)
And are you sure that mod_rewrite is available on the server you are on?

Nothing seems wrong(except that we dont know if mod_rewrite works or not), can you temporarily turn the module on again so I can see this 404 error?

Go to extras->ssu manager to clear cache first

Also, change your htaccess to

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "zencart" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /




# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule .* - [L]

RewriteRule ^(.+) index.php/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rickiesdiscountelectronics\.com$ [NC]
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.rickiesdiscountelectronics.com/$1 [R=301,L]

[yellow1912]

Opps, should be

#### BOF SSU
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase / 
RewriteBase /zencart/

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^rickiesdiscountelectronics\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.rickiesdiscountelectronics.com/$1 [R=301,L]
