Custom Magento Homepage - Fix Issue - magento

So the previous web developer has customized our Magento v1.4.1 site to use a page called main.php... It bypasses everything else that is set by Magento as far as Magento goes.
I have no way contact the previous developer to ask where this is setup...
We have just installed a new plugin and it has taken over as the homepage.
In Magento Admin > System > Configuration > Web the homepage is set to URL Key "home" ... When I go to that specific page index.php/home, the custom main.php page shows up. Why would a plugin have found it's way to be our homepage?
Thanks! Felt like my previous question didn't give enough details.

"home" is not the normal value, here is what that section should look like:

Magento 2 - Redirect to "My account" page when clicking "Addressbook"

We just launched a Magento 2.0.4 store, but we're experiencing the issue described below. Hopefully someone can help us fix this.
When a customer is logged in in our store and clicks on "Addressbook" on the "My account" page, he gets redirected back to the "My Account" page.
The redirect order is as follows and all redirects are 302's (Moved Temporarily):
/customer/account/ --> /customer/address/new (as expected because this customer has not created any address yet)
/customer/address/new --> /customer/account/login/ (herein lies the issue, we would like to see the "Add New Address" page)
/customer/account/login --> /customer/account (as expected)
Notes: Our store is running on HTTPS and a custom made theme which is based on the default Luma theme. We also have another Magento 2.0.4 store running on the same server with the same hosting provider and the issue is not present here. You can try it yourself here.
What we tried:
Disabling all custom modules
Removing all custom language files (i18n folder)
Disabling SEO URLs
Here is a screenshot which shows the redirect order in the Chrome Developer Toolbar
We have found the solution. Apparently a module was in fact still causing the problem: Mirasvit_Core. Disabling the module and deploying static content again fixed the issue.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps anyone else having this problem.

Magento theme implementation

Hi I'm trying to figure out theme implementation in Magento. It's my first Magento Community Edition installation and obviously first theme that I try. Its a fairly popular theme called "Fortis". The problem I'm ecnoutering is when I click the links that is included in the default theme e.g. Account or Cart. The url link does not exist and its not included in the folders that comes with Fortis.
So my question is: What is the standard implementation when it comes to Magento Themes? What am I missing here and why are the links not working?
Fortis front page:
Links do not work:
The issue seems with the URL rewrite
try browsing to
localhost/magento_dev/public_html/index.php/hardvara.html
and
localhost/magento_dev/public_html/index.php/customer/account
Check your .htaccess for RewriteBase and set it accordingly
Enable Web Server rewrites at Admin Panel > System > Configuration > Web > Search Engine Optimization
Clear Cache.
I feel, you should try to access/install magento using your IP address instead of localhost. It should be something like that http://192.168.1.123/magento_dev. Replace this dummy ip with your own ip address.

Joomla: homepage url

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/

virtuemart checkout page link

i have used virtuemart latest product module for displaying a product on my home page but now when i click on add to cart it doesn't redirect me to another page. Instead of redirecting to another page it shows the checkout form in content part of my index page....
Are you using sh404sef then please try to use the current latest version of both VM & sh404sef otherwise these compatibility issues frequently comes
Also if the above said not a good solutions then please check whether the URL shown in the address bar of the checkout page shows a get value say: &ssl_redirect=1 part. if so, then try to please disable the SSL, it may be not useful in the context as your may use the virtue-mart payment gateway to do all the stuff
