If your server is running Apache you can re-write your URLs in an .htaccess file using mod-rewrite to hide the subdirectory name.

So great! Can you tell me how to do this?
I know nothing about the .htaccess

Thank you so much!

I don't understand what you mean by "make oscommerce and zencart work together".

If you mean you want to leave your osC site operational while you rebuild the site in Zen Cart, simply remove the osC folders and files from the root when you're done and move the Zen Cart folders and files to the root. There are instructions in the Tutorials/FAQ https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122.

Your server will need to have the apache mod rewrite module installed (most Linux servers do) in which case this should work for you, though I don't profess expertise in this area.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^yoursubfoldername/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Hi, could you please tell me where should i put the .htaccess?
At the root directory or the subdirectory

I add a zen cart store at subdirectory, so when i open the store, it is www.domain.com/paintings/index.php

I want to cancel the /paintings/ at the URL, is it possible?
lt will like www.domain.com/index.php

I am using Ultimate SEO URLs, so i wonder whether can i Rewrite the URL to do so?

For example, all codes on .htaccess for SEO URLs like this,

RewriteRule ^print_page_p(.*)$ index\.php?main_page=print_page&products_id=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)_p(.*).html$ index\.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

Is it possible to base on the code of SEO URLs to cancel the subdirectory?

Thanks

It would go in whatever folder your hosting space is configured to send the URL.

Alternatively, many hosts already have an option in the hosting control panel to say to what subdirectory an add-on domain, such as I think you're referring to, should be directed.

My host is hostmonster, but i don't know what to do next.

Thank you!

I solve this problem now!

I just generate all of the oscommerce page into html pages, and then the problems about the includes document is nothing.

Cheers!
