Hi,
You sould replace your index.htm page (comming soon page) with a redirect page (google for html redirect) pointing to www.bigaaplefta.com/zencart.
So anyone who enters www.bigaaplefta.com will be transfered to zencart folder.

what i did was re-install the zencart to directory www.bigapplefta.info
and it worked i now see the page
but does it allways have all those ads

Good job on moving your cart to the root directory.

'All those ads' can be removed in various places when you customize your cart.

stevesh is right. Once you start customizing your Zen Cart, much of that will disappear. The rest you can turn off in the admin.

im going to go into the admin panel now and see if i can wing it as far as setting it up

is there a step by step anywhere in the forum as far as customize and adding product

[dbltoe]

There's the tutorials/FAQ link at the top of this page and amazingly enough there's a copy of instructions in the folder called DOCS.
Don't even have to remove the shrink wrap

YEAH IM GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOME MORE READING CAUSE IM A LITTLE LOST

I CANT FIGURE OUT WHERE TO PUT MY NAME OF THE STORE AND ALL THAT INFO

srry for caps

[dbltoe]

If you try to "Wing It", you'll wind up with an albatross around your neck!

Read some of the tutorials and check out the override system before you jump in.

yeah i have used cube cart before and the quick shopping cart by go daddy

those just said type store header here etc or insert picture

this looks a lot lot harder
