subdomain question

[fontaholic]

i have a subdomain directory for my site. http://store.inspiritcommon.com points to a folder called /icwebstore. i set up the redirect and it works on the main page of my site. once i drill down further though, the url in the address bar is re-written to www.inspiritcommon.com/icwebstore, the actual directory of my zc install. the ssl certificate i ordered is being processed for http://store.inspiritcommon.com/.

from my config.php file...

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://store.inspiritcommon.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://store.inspiritcommon.com');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

i had /icwebstore/ as the catalog directory definitions instead of root at first, but it behaved the same way.

my host is godaddy, but i think this is some setting i've not changed. any advice is appreciated.

my host is godaddy,

I'm sorry

but i think this is some setting i've not changed. any advice is appreciated.

Not in the ZenCart side

store.inspiritcommon.com

Must be setup as a subdomain

Your install is then installed to the store subdomain directory not a dir named icwebstore

the godaddy thing has been a learning process, but i've gotten it mostly working. it's been a two year process though, between it AND zen cart.

http://store.inspiritcommon.com is set up as a persistent subdomain with godaddy. it is working. it is password protected and if you want to look, you can use un: alphatester pw: Gr8gratitude. the addy bar when on the home page reads correctly. as soon as you navigate away (to a product, via search, however...) zen cart requests www.inspiritcommon.com. i've changed these lines in my admin configure.php now too, but nothing changes in the address line...

   * If you desire your *entire* admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
   */
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://store.inspiritcommon.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://store.inspiritcommon.com');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://store.inspiritcommon.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://store.inspiritcommon.com');

  // Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

Looks like either your cart files are not in the correct place or you are pointing to them incorrectly

Your install is then installed to the store subdomain directory not a dir named icwebstore

[fontaholic]

*confused* all of my zen cart files are in /icwebstore/. that crazy u/r/l/thingy is how zen cart understands where those files are on the godaddy servers.

store.inspiritcommon.com, the subdomain, was created after the zen cart files were installed and modded in the directory /icwebstore/ and the store subdomain points to /icwebstore/ as the root.

there is no directory called /store/

sorry to be dense. i'm just not understanding.

[kobra]

store.inspiritcommon.com, the subdomain, was created after the zen cart files were installed and modded in the directory /icwebstore/ and the store subdomain points to /icwebstore/ as the root.

Move them to where they belong

there is no directory called /store/

Get with GD on how to create a repository for your subdomain

[fontaholic]

so, you're saying to create a directory called /store/ and move all the files from /icwebstore/ into that directory? or vice versa?

root/icwebstore/store/zcfiles or
root/store/icwebstore/zcfiles ?

thank you for your patience....
