Additionally, you need a properly configured .htaccess file in the root directory of your OpenCart installation (the same directory that contains the admin and catalog folders). Refer to the official OpenCart documentation to verify that your .htaccess file contains the necessary code (specifically, the code highlighted in red in the documentation). If the file is missing or contains incorrect content, create a new text file, paste the correct code into it, and save the file as ".htaccess".
