How are /category/ links handled?

Hi. I am stuck. There is probably a simple answer to this question, but I am completely stumped.

I have 2x TXP 4.4.1 sites. Both use txp:category1 and txp:category2 (if there is one) to provide category tags on articles. Both sites have hyperlinked categories (via <txp:category2 link="1" title="1" />). This tag format works on one site, but not the other.

Both the working and non-working sites display hyperlinks to articles with the given category with the URL format:

http://example.com/category/foo

On the working site, it works. On the non-working site, this URL format gives a 404. I figure from the URL format it has something to do with .htaccess doing the rewrites. Both sites have a stock .htaccess, save for a few legacy (unconnected) 301 redirects on the working site.

Neither site’s page template uses txp:if_category, although the working site does use txp:article. Would the lack of either of these tags on the non-working site contribute to the 404, or am I misunderstanding something along the line?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
