I'm working on localhost (which I have entered for the hostnames) and http://localhost/shop.aspx loads up fine but when I click the uCommerce link as shown in the video I get 'page not found' and the URL for the link is http://localhost/ucommerce/c-23 not a link to the catalog as shown in the video?
Something I've done wrong or does the package have a glitch?
I tried again from scratch as previously I had installed one of the example sites that comes with the installation and I figured perhaps it was causing trouble but the result is the same even with a blank site.
Although I did search for a similar post before posting this one and found nothing I have come accross this post. It appears to be a similar problem with the c-23 link not working. The difference is that I'm sure my permissions are OK and Umbraco has installed correctly without error.
The UrlRewriting.config changes are in place.
The umbracoLog table is reporting a couple of errors relating to 'uCommerce.DbInstaller.GetSchemaVersion(). uCommerce_SystemVersion does not exist. This indicates an empty database.' which I guess is fine as the site is a clean install.
There are also multiple entries of this error: 'Couldn't import property 'Content' as the property type doesn't exist on this document type' which the other poster also reported.
Thanks for looking into this for me Soren. Great help.
I've set the website up as a Visual Studio 2010 project and it works fine through its Cassini web engine. I'll probably use that until I can upgrade my machine to Windows 7 from XP pro.
The payload at the end is there to enable easy keyword stuffing of the URL. uCommerce will look for that pattern and use the information there to locate the proper catalog, category, and product. What this means is that you can basically put anything between the domain name and the payload, e.g. localhost/super-google-optimized-keywords/c-23/c-67/p-97
Pretty URLs are really just there for the benefit of Google. Customers don't really see the URL any way or the other.
Problem with uCommerce Store package?
I'm just getting started with uCommerce so wanted to play about and get familiar with it.
I've downloaded Umbraco 4.7 and both 1.5 packages from http://www.ucommerce.dk/en/get-it-now/download.aspx and I've followed the instructions in the http://www.ucommerce.dk/screencasts/uCommerceTV-01-Installing-uCommerce.mov video.
I'm working on localhost (which I have entered for the hostnames) and http://localhost/shop.aspx loads up fine but when I click the uCommerce link as shown in the video I get 'page not found' and the URL for the link is http://localhost/ucommerce/c-23 not a link to the catalog as shown in the video?

Could you take a look in the umbracoLog table and see if uCommerce is reporting any errors?
One thing to try is to remove the hostname on the store and just leave on "Default".

I have removed the hostname but with no effect.
Any more ideas?
Thanks, Matt
Is there a way I can see the site?
Hi Soren,
Well it's only on my local PC, I could share my desktop with you using MSN messanger if that's any good?
Or zip it up and send it to you?
If you could zip it up and send it my way I'll take a look at it for you.
Thanks Soren,
It's on its way to you now.
Regards,
Matt
Thanks a bunch.
Further digging revealed that it was an IIS6 issue with extensionless URLs. Some configuration is required to make it work.

The urls do look a little unfriendly http://localhost:9662/ucommerce/software/ucommerce-1.0-rtm/c-23/c-67/p-97 which I can live with.
Are they supposed to look like that?

That said the URLs are completely customizable so you can implement any URL scheme you like. Nice URLs Optimize Webshop Google Page Rank tell you how to customize it.
Cool.
