How do I view the actual Catalog URL on a fresh install of Magento?

This is a silly simple question I’m sure, but since I’m new to Magento, I need to ask.

How on earth do I navigate to the catalog pages? I mean, I don’t have any links pointing that way via the homepage, but even if I type in a specific URL I can’t seem to开发者_运维知识库 bring it up…

for example, I can view specific products via this:

http://luxuryoverload.com/catalog/product/view/id/2

but if I try to view the catalog via this:

http://luxuryoverload.com/catalog/category/view/id/2

I just get a 404 page…

I have set up 3 root folders in the admin for “handbags”, “shoes”, “accesories” Those are my only & main categories.

I know this seems like a simple problem, but honestly I’m pulling my hair out just trying to figure this one out…

Any help would be much much appreciated…

Root categories do not show directly. There should only be one per store (which you associate together in System > Manage Stores) and then put "handbags", "shoes" & "accessories" categories within that.
