Renamed Folder Problem

[J#xx]

Hi

I've been requested by my boss to change the name of the directory from /zen to /shop and simple as i thought i'd just rename it, but here's the problem. Fresh Install Screen. Is there any way I can alter a file so that zencart knows which directory its in.

Cheers

You will need ONLY to make changes to the two configure.php files

includes/configure.php

and

admin/includes/configure.php

In these two files (same name but each is DIFFERENT from the other), you will see the path references to

/zen/

find all of them and change them to

/shop/

Make sure that the new directory on your server is called:

shop

configure.php files are usually fully write-protected (CHMOD 444) so before you edit them, you may need to change CHMOD to 655 or higher.

Use a PLAIN TEXT EDITOR to edit php files - such as Crimson Editor.

After you have edited the configure.php files, saved them and FTP'd them back to their respective folders on the server, you should run the:

fix_cache_key.php file

... available in the Free Software Addons section (link above)

Simply unzip this file and FTP it to your

/shop/

directory

Then run the file by typing this into a browser window:

www . mywebsite . com / shop / fix_cache_key.php

Remember to DELETE the file after you have re-set the cache.

Thanks Fairestcape, saved my life :-) However I've lost my template and I can't get any templates to work. Do you know where they are and how do I get them back ?

What did Oscar Wilde say:

"To lose one parent is unfortunate. To lose BOTH parents is irresponsible!" (From The importance of being Ernest).

How did you LOSE your template?

All you had to do was change the name of the directory from /zen/ to /shop/ and edit the configure files...

What else did you do?

[fairestcape]

In the configure.php files there's a section:

// * 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', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/'); 

Have you got this section intact? - particularly the last line:

define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/'); 

(NB: Yours will probably (ought to) show /shop/ in the top bits.)
