PHP Clean URLS

After I download the Mike's Shirts site into my htdocs folder, the site navigation works perfectly. However, when I move the entire site to a subdirectory and I modify the config.php file to include a subfolder (shown below), the contact and search pages appear properly, but the shirts and shirt details pages break. The page, for example, is localhost/project2/shirts and the error I get is Object not found. The htaccess file seems to have the correct rewrite rules. What step am I missing?

define("BASE_URL","/project2/"); define("ROOT_PATH",$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/project2/");

Hey! If this is still not working for you, you could try clearing your internet browsing history. That has worked for me quite a few times.

Another possibility is that some of the files aren't including via the relative root i.e. they're missing ROOT_PATH.
