I am facing quite a strange problem at the moment, I have wordpress and oscommerce installations on single domain. I placed wordpress at the root and oscommerce in /store/ folder.
Everything is working properly except one thing. The server headers of oscommerce are throwing a 404 error although the page is displayed correctly. This results in a situation that googlebot will not index these pages at all.
Can anybody help me to resolve this issue? What should I do now?
Root httaccess is
RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^outdoorwatersolutions.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.outdoorwatersolutions.com/$1 [L,R=301]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
and oscommerce httaccess is
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

This looks like an oscommerce misconfiguration. Other people have had similar issues. Try some of the solutions here or google for more examples.
The link won’t work for some reason, sorry.
