Storefront Redirecting to Product Page

Sometime last week my client's v.1.5.1 Zen Cart storefront started redirecting to a product page. I'm pretty sure I didn't change any settings, and the client is pretty sure he didn't either. Is there an Admin setting that would cause this behavior, and if so, where would I find it? .htaccess has not been changed, and the client was able to view the storefront properly last week some time.

Hitting http://www.capitolmusiccenter.com/shop/ (or .../index.php) redirects you to http://www.capitolmusiccenter.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=215875

I am flummoxed.

Thanks!

Could you check to see if you have a Product in the Top Level Categories where the other subcategories are?

Well, wouldn't you know it. It was the very same product. I moved it into the category where it was supposed to go, and now our homepage isn't insane. That would have taken me forever to figure out. Thank you so much! :smile:

And now we're going to have a chat about proper categorization of products...

How is that even possible to have a product in the root category listing and to have products in the category branches? I thought that was something prevented under routine use?

I believe the product mis-categorization was made directly in the database, not through the ZC interface.

I had this happen with a configuration item, layout settings, to show the products on the main page, Categories - Always show on main page. That one can do it as well, and you feel hijacked...

Glad you found your solution, and thought to put the two together.
