Root Directory Of My Shop?????

Where is the root directory located for my shop? Thanks

[jacdesigner]

Where did you install your Zencart files? If you installed them in a folder called /store then that folder is your root directory for the shop. If you installed them on your main hosting account root directory like maybe /htdocs then that is your shop root.

Usually in www.mydomain.com/

Usually in www.mydomain.com/

... only if that's where it was installed. jacdesigner's answer is correct.

Opps sorry!! SO can you install the Root Directory somewhere else???

Apologies im new to Zen Cart and still finding my feet!

Your answer was also correct - Zencart is usually installed to the site's root, and, in my opinion, should be. But you can also install it to a subdirectory like /shop if you want to.

Here's a nicely constructed counter-example

http://www.plastiquemonkey.com

The Zen Cart is at http://www.plastiquemonkey.com/shop

It's also important to understand the distinction between a Zen Cart's web server root and its file system root. For example on client sites we may have the store launched directly from www.mydomain.com, but point that domain to a subdirectory e.g. htdocs/zc138 allowing us to manage live and test versions of a site, without the later ending up in a subdirectory of the main site. Launch of the upgraded site is also then easier as we need only repoint the domain to the new, already tested version, rather than moving a couple of thousand files around.

My desire is to upload a module called "SaveForLater" to my ZenCart. I've been instructed to upload the contents of the folder to the root directory of my shop but I'm completely confused.

My shop is in public_html www.mojavelampwork.net

I've followed your guidance about where the root directory is but the upload is not working. Am I missing something?
