mafic,
No, the /default that you are getting in your URL is probably coming from the store View or something like that, but this particular article doesn’t apply. There are options in Admin somewhere to enable or disable multiple store views, and to embed it in the url. You just need to find it and turn it off, or something like that =)

Thanks man for clearing this up.
One thing though, I keep getting 404 when hitting catalog/category/ or catalog/category/view/

Great explanation. Works for redirecting calls to the root domain. But it looks like it overwrites the “CMS home page” option in the configuration page of the backend.

Is this the case?

PS: I didn’t mention I’m using Magento Enterprise 1.6.0.0. Below is how I’ve got the Virtual Host configured in httpd.conf. The Magento implementation will have multiple domains hitting multiple websites. Some of the websites are required to have html front ends. Many thanks, Karen

ServerName dev.endlessyouthandlife.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/1.6.0.0
SetEnv MAGE_RUN_CODE “endlessyouthandlife”

ErrorLog logs/endlessyouthandlife.com-error_log

RewriteRule .* – [F]

Hi Aaron, Thank you so much for these directions. I didn’t think this was difficult or all that strange because I’ve written Magento modules before. But I am having a problem – after I make the changes, it works like a charm, except I can’t then access anything else in the Magento store, such as http://www.domainname.com/customer/account/login/

Any ideas?

thanks much,
Karen Kilroy

Holy crap, what a huge pain. Thanks for the clarification.
