What did I do???

I'm trying to log in to my website https://www.stitcheryclub.com and I'm getting a 404 error saying The requested URL does not exist. I haven't deleted anything.

Now, last night, I set up the SSL as per the ZEN tutorial page. I did this for my other site https://www.pieceinthehoop.com and it works just fine, so I'm not sure why this is acting up. Now, when I go and remove what I did last night to the SClub page, I can log in, but no SSL???

Too wierd... I noticed that my "home" page (main_page.php) is not showing up for my CLUB website with/or/without what the SSL in place.

So, it seems that this page has poofed. Where can I go to check into it or am I going in the wrong direction.

Thanks for taking your time to look...

I can see both sites.

No SSL Certificate installed as far as i can tell by looking at the page source information.

There is some good posts on SSL installation and errors contained in the forum so just do a search and maybe that will help you find out what is going wrong.

Well, I put it all back to "normal" but my MAIN page is still not showing up. PLEASE help.

What could "trigger" this page to not show up. I've looked in
/includes/languages/english/html_includes/club/define_main_page.php

and my page IS there. I looked though my admin console and my text is there.

I checked my index.php file and it's there with the "WELCOME" message.

I'm totally lost

I do notice you have website down for maintenance. You can change this in your admin panel and configuration.

You might want to check your SSL certificate it says that website identity has not been verified and it led me to this page when i clicked why.

I have my Piece in the Hoop down.... but the one I need help on is this one: https://www.stitcheryclub.com

My main page, welcome text is not there. This is my only delimma right now

oh and the fact that I see I can't spell right either... lol DILEMMA

Check in your admin panel under configuration and website maintenance that everything is ok and everything is set to false.

Another thought. You can go to Admin - Tools - Define Pages Editor and you can click on define main page there and redo it...Check that you have set the define_main_page.php file to 777 or you can't write to it and maybe that's why it's not showing up.

I removed the maintenance feature and went in and did a test purchase. I checked the SSL and it says Blue Hose Equifax... My host lets me use theirs.

Good idea, but no deal. I can go in and edit it in the admin and the permissions are set for 644 so I can write to it. I save it, but as you can see, it's still not there???

You need to use an HTML Editor such as CuteFTP to go in to your public_html folder and then click open your zen cart folder ( whatever you named it ) - Then go to the appropriate folder. ( You can do this in the Admin section of your web hosting company but it's easier using an external editor )

As an example ( /public_html/catalog/includes/languages/english/html_includes )

Set your file to 777 by right clicking on it and choosing Properties/CHMOD and then you can write to it and then you can go back to the define pages editor and write to it.

This works for all files located under the define pages editor.

After you have written to it remember to change each file back to at least 644 so no one else can write to the file.

I've done that over and over. The only thing I've noticed "out of wack" is that on the HOME page, it shouldn't say HOME (that is in brown by categories. It shouldn't say There are no products to list in this category. It should have my WELCOME there and the text that I entered in the ADMIN for the main_page.php.

It's like my home page is linked to a page that I'm unaware of.

Well, since I only had the graphics and very little side bars complete, I scrapped it and I'm going to start over....

ugggg

If when you go to the define pages editor it doesn't allow you to write to the file then its permissions are 644 and there lies your problem as the file will not save and show up on your home page.

You must make sure they are set to 777 for the correct files.

Then it will all work.
