Move store from folder to root

[joem83]

I am using godaddy, and orginally setup zencart[which they offer], in (website.com/zencart), we decided to change this so the zencart info will be in the root. (website.com) I went into the config.php file and changed:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
to
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

I have seen this in Tutorials/FAQs, but it does not appear to work.
Is there something I am missing? I have changed this in the admin page as well

Did you follow all the steps in the tutorial, or just change lines in the config files? Because you also need to physicaly move all those files from website.com/zencart/whatever up one level to website.com/whatever.....

Did you change the file-system and cache folder values in the configure.php files, too? You'll need to edit each of the original configure.php files (remember that the admin file is not the same as the catalog version) and change all occurrences of /zencart/ to /.

I moved all the files from /zencart to the root of the website, and changed the info in the config file

file-system and cache folder values ? not sure what you are refering to, don't see this in the config file. I changed
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
to this
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

'does not appear to work' doesn't tell us anything. What do you see when you navigate to the site ?

[joem83]

Found it I missed, define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'location');

Thank to all

Close to the bottom of each configure.php file is DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE, which will also need to be changed.
