Taking People Straight to a Product - The webpage cannot be found

[Ilford]

Hi

On my main page www.7daycanon.co.uk (below the IRCA label) I have made some quick links leading straight to specific products, using the info found in the Actinic advanced user guide pg44 stating;

It is possible to take people straight to a specific product with a hyperlink of the following form:
http://your.URL/cgi-bin/ss00000x.pl?...2345&NOLOGIN=1

BUT the funny thing is this link works sometimes on my PC, and with mixed results on others (V.Confusing).

For example.
If I added the hyperlink of
http://www.7daycanon.co.uk/cgi-bin/s...08AA&NOLOGIN=1
When clicked on with different computers I get 2 different addresses.

WORKS
http://www.7daycanon.co.uk/shop/acat...ml#a9443A008AA

DOES NOT WORK
http://www.7daycanon.co.uk/acatalog/...ml#a9443A008AA
The webpage cannot be found

Notice the(/shop/) difference

Has anyone come across this before??

(hope I have not made this sound confusing, I just wanted to give as much info as possible)

You must have your site set up for /shop/ and then acatalog so your folder structure is something like:

/public_html (or what ever your top public folder is)
--> Shop
--> acatalog
--> cgi-bin

Your 2nd link is trying to connect onto straight acatalog when that does not exist and needs shop/acatalog

Would double check your network settings if this is automatically populated and also if you manually adjusted your templates, check you have not assigned a fixed referrer entry in any pages which might be causing you issues.

A search of the forum will bring up loads on those subjects.

If your site is still under development, another option would be to remove the /shop/ folder and just go straight to /acatalog/ - this is simpler and might be better for Google (although inevitably people will have different views on this.)

By the way, on a large screen using IE6, your home page is centred at the top (main Flash etc) but the content is left aligned - see attachment.

Thankyou Both for your help and comments.
Hopfully this will sort out the problem
