Redireting site

[mhakiwa]

Hi
Please can someone tell me how to redirect my site, I recently had to reinstall and and installed zencart to /public_html and now it comes up as www.mystore.com/mystore
I would like it to be www.mystore.com/

at the moment I am getting this error: -

The requested URL /design21worksnddbc.html was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


How can I make it redirect, I have built it up using the oversides and made my own template up.

Please can you help?

Edit your 2 configure.php files to correct it from being in a folder before

I have moved the site to /home directory, changed the /includes/config files are directed, also downloaded the fix cache key to make sure its all running properly, when I type in www.design21works.com/fix_cache_key.php I get a blank screen
I have a copy of the site both under the home directory and public_html

All I simply want is for the site to direct www/design21works.com instead of www.design21works.com/design21

I know its something simple but its still going over my head. I did not load my site up correctly and instead of using the overide facility I just amended the classic folder and then wondered why images etc were not displaying correctly.

School of hard knocks I did download the manual from lulu which I have found soo invaluable, just this little glitch.

A terminology issue??
These normally mean the same thing
Some servers have /home while others have /public_html
Post your /includes/configure.php file BUT insure that you X out DB name and pass - Use the<> code tags

HI thank you
I am still not getting what you are saying and I know its obvious, but its gone over my head. here is my includes/configure.php

You might ask a DEV to edit your DB details out of your posting

All I simply want is for the site to direct www/design21works.com instead of www.design21works.com/design21
