Problem moving folder from sub-root to root

[andycowboy]

I'm confused. When I installed Zen Cart, I followed directions (I thought) from the ZC tutorials and the host, and installed in a folder I called /estore . Have figured out that's actually a sub-directory - no problem while I learned the basics. I have customized the layout, and am still working on it. Everything appears to be working great, and having no problems adding cats or products. However, I'm trying to move the /estore folders and files (not the parent folder itself) into the root folder so that the site opens with the actual URL.

I have followed the steps contained in https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?print=122:

1. admin>configuration>sessions - shows D:Hosting#######htmlestore/cache - removed the word estore

2. moved all folders and files within the /estore folder to the root folder MYDOMAIN.com/

3. removed the word "estore" from the following in /includes/configure.php file, leaving a blank between the two slashes:
DIR_WS_CATALOG
DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG
DIR_FS_CATALOG
DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE

4. removed the word "estore" from the above "defines" in /admin/includes/configure.php file, leaving a blank between the two slashes, plus the additional:
DIR_WS_ADMIN
DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN
DIR_FS_ADMIN

I reviewed eveything in those two files, and made sure the word "estore" didn't appear anywhere. These changes were done in my offline editor.

I then uploaded with my FTP client (inside my host's cpanel) these two files into the folders I had moved in to MYDOMAIN.com/ root folder. When I tried to open my site, I got an error code 500, I think it was. I then put everything back to where it was, and was still able to open my site with /estore attached to the URL.

I've tried it twice - what the heck am I leaving out? Any help would be appreciated - got two different answers from the host's techies.

Have a great evening!

The first two should look like this:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
