Page Not Found: Url Re-Write Problems

After hosting on temporary server I get page not found by categories & products. It worked fine on my local machine

I am a little new at this & would appreciate any guidance.

I have not altered the urlrewrite.config.

(Am I supposed to be creating virtual directories and copying the contents of urlrewrite.config to my hosting control panel as virtual directories using regex?)

Is there something else I'm missing?


Note: when I type in the actual physical path it does not work either.
(I.e: Neither com/category.aspx?categoryID=46 or    .com/Category/46-category-name.aspx work)


The products are there: search feature brings them all up.


Thanks in advance!

I have teh same problem, please advice...

on your local machine are you running as administrator?

I have enabled errors on my machine.
It tells me that a .ascx file is missing:~TemplatesCategoriesProductsInGrid.ascx, but it is there. The same is true for the TemplatesProductsVariantsInGrid.ascx (or Templats/Products/VariantsInGrid.ascx).

The result is that neither category pages nor product pages show.



I changed the path in the database of the requested file from

~TemplatesCategoriesProductsInGrid.ascx

to
'/~Templates/Categories/ProductsInGrid.ascx' (through using double back slash in sql server)

The resource definitely does exist. However it still tells me that resource is not found. I know its there. I see it & naming path is correct.

Can you offer any guidance?

Thank You!

I solved the problem.

I changed in the database (Category & Product Templates) the template path from: TemplatesCategoriesProductsInGrid

to: //Templates//Categories//ProductsInGrid.   (Same idea for ProductTemplate Table)

Note on local host it worked fine without. This was only necessary for the hosted environment in which I was.

Hope this helps other people facing the same.

Thanks Td, your method works for me. :)
