Merry xmas, guys!
Problem & Solution:
I am at the installer page but it is telling me that i am missing a specific php extension.
Example message: PHP Extension “mcrypt” must be loaded
The above message tells us that your PHP do not have “mcrypt” compiled with it. You have to get your web host to re-compile PHP with “mcrypt”.
Another example:
PHP Extension “PDO_mySQL” must be loaded
This tells us that we are missing “PDO_mysql” extension for PHP on the server. Once again, you have to get your web host to re-compile PHP to include this extension.

I have notice that more and more people are setting up magento-powered stores but keep running into road blocks. For those who manage to install magento successfully, i believe you may run into one of these problems mentioned in this post.
Here are two common problems i have seen and this simple solution will probably fix 90% of these problems.
Problem #1:

Problem #2:
When i click on one of my product link, it return a 404 page not error.

Hey guys, we have rename our domain name from “magentohub.com” to a new domain name called “mtomto.com”. The reason for the change is due to the word “magento” been used in our domain name. This had caused a trademark issue with varien. 
What does “MTOMTO” stand for?
Well, i came out of this name within a short span of time right after i have received an email from rico at varien last night. (*wink* to rico if you see this :P) . MTO is a short-form stand for Magento. I must say i love the new name. It’s Short & sweet!

Do you want to get more traffic for your store? If yes, make sure your magento shopping store is search engine friendly! To do this, make sure your web hosting provider’s server had Mod_Rewrite enabled. For my case, my web hosting provider’s server had Mod_Rewrite enabled which mean my store is ready to be index by major searcn engines companies anytime soon.
In this post, we will do a simple Mod_Rewrite test to check whether it is enabled on your web hosting provider’s server.
What is the advantage of having a search engine friendly store?
Major search engine companies like Google, Yahoo!, MSN and others can index all your products pages more easily. When a visitor search on these search engine, your magento store had a higher chance of showing up during the search result. Imagine 1/4 of the search engine users found your store? You will be rich!
