I have a simple question...I had an old store and people bookmarked specific product pages in their browsers as well as Google search points to some specific pages. I have now installed a new version of Magento (1.9.1) and some of these URLs will not longer work (they will show the standard 404 not found Magento page).
What would be the best way to forward all these hits to the front page?
Thank you for any suggestions!

Login to the admin, go to System>Configuration>Web and change the drop-down value for CMS No Route Page in the Default Pages section. You should be able to select your CMS Home Page.
Here is a reference with images
If manual setting doesnt help,you can try this.

I have a Magento website with some pages linked to main navigation.
For example, in my default view (Italian) I have www.example.com/italian-url-key
Then I created another page for English view with url www.example.com/english-url-key
So, when I am on the italian version of the page and try to switch to english version, this is the url that magento generate: http://www.example.com/italian-url-key/?___store=english&store=&___from_store=default and on click it gives me 404 page.
How can I fix it? I need that this 2 pages should be linked, also if url key is different.
Many thanks!
Out of the box Magento does not support URL Translation, both pages need the same URL key. Check instructions from the Magento Docs on how to translate CMS pages.
To translate a CMS page, you must create a new page that has the same
URL Key as the original, but assigned to the specific store view.
So you will either have to stick to one languages for your URLs or develop/acquire a module to do this for you. The magento-language-roots or CMSRewrites modules both look like they will achieve this for you.
You may also want to consider adding Hreflang tags to your head.phtml as you have a multi-lingual site.
I am working with a Magento install that I did not set up and am pretty green when it comes to its operation... There is a default page serving as the "home page" when there is already a page defined in the back-end as the "home page". The path in the URL reads as: DOMAIN/index.php but when I try to find said index file using google developer mode, I can find no such file that would generate the layout. I suppose I just don't have enough overall knowledge to figure out what is at work here. Can someone help me figure out why it's using the default home page instead of mine?
On most webshops I've worked on the CMS home page wasn't really used. Instead of the CMS home it can be easier to use a custom template to setup the homepage with static blocks and what not.
If this is also the case for you, there might be two places you can find this custom template:
In the layout xml files, search forcms_index_index?
In backend, navigate to the CMS home page and go to the Design tab
About the index.php part: this is because you probably because you haven't enabled mod_rewrite in your server configuration
I inherited a Joomla site that has a set up I'm not familiar with. The url of pages on the site are like
http://hufboxing.com/about.htm
http://hufboxing.com/training.htm
http://hufboxing.com/schedule.htm
I looked in the .htaccess file and do not see any rules that map .htm urls to the Joomla query string urls.
In the CMs, on each article are url alias. The corresponding URL alias to each of the urls above are:
http://hufboxing.com/about-us
http://hufboxing.com/team-training
http://hufboxing.com/the-gym-schedule
However, going to any of these alias gives a 404 page. Even if I attach a .htm extension to these urls, it gives 404 page.
Where do I go in Joomla to add new pages to the site and add new .htm urls?
Here is the website:
http://www.hufboxing.com
That is normal. They are based on your article and menu aliases. Joomla uses a database to store the text so you won't find pages. How do you want the urls to look? Also what version? To add pages login to administrator and go to create article. Then you may want to go to the menu manager and link. I recommend you review the beginner docs at http://docs.joomla.org.
Magento has in built functionality to use https for my account pages , login page and checkout pages. However, we're finding that only the images and script links are dynamically changing to https. All the page links are not changing in these secure area and have http links instead. We are using Magento 1.7
We're looking for a possible answer or some actual help here and are willing to pay for it.
Any suggestions?
Joomla requires that home page was linked with some component.
So, if i link menu item of homepage to some article, i get a url like:
"index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=464" on frontend.
How to link homepage to "/" ?
UPD:
Joomla verion 1.7
Maybe, i not accurately explained.
I link home menu item with some article.
When i go to www.mysite.com - all fine, choosen article is shown on homepage.
But then the home menu item on frontend became "index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=464", not just '/'
You must use the default Joomla format for setting something as the "home" page. in 2.5 (since you failed to tell us which version you're running) you do this by using 'featured articles'. By default, any featured article is displayed on the homepage.
In older versions (1.5) you must mark it to display on the 'front page'
In doing that when you go to http://www.yoursite.com/ - you will see the articles listed as 'featured' or 'front page' articles. You can adjust how they display by using the front page or featured article manager.
I apologize if I've misunderstood your question - but hope this helps. It also looks like you don't have SEF URL's turned on - you may want to look into that. Regardless your front page will display without any additional URL stuff if you use the methods outlined above.
In your menu manager (backend), create a new entry for 1 article and select it in the list. After that, just define this new menu entry as default (or homepage).
This article will be the default homepage of your website and will be accessible via www.yoursite.com/
