installing second site in subfolder

[stitchnkitty]

I am having trouble installing a new site in a subfolder.
I have added the domain name and pointed it.
uploaded DB.

and adjusted my config files - Not right obviously becasue I get the zencart page of misconfiguration!

my path is public_html/myaccount/windflowergrove/

domain name is www.windflowergrove.com

config file - what I have changed -and I could have changed tooo much also! because I am now getting 404 page not found

I have changed the admin file name -

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.windflowergrove.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.windflowergrove.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.windflowergrove.com');

define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/***/xxxxxxx/public_html/cache');

// EOF

Ideas I will keep working on it

If I properly understand the domain name www.windflowergrove.com opens "public_html/myaccount/windflowergrove/" (which I presume is myaccount/public_html/windflowergrove/ but that is not relevant). In this case the options you have set should be:

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * 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_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Otherwise with the ones you have set the application will try to use the following URL:

http://www.windflowergrove.com/windflowergrove/


Also the full path to the web site files does not seem to be correct. It should be (I am improvising here as I don't know the exact setup on your hosting server):

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/user/public_html/windflowergrove/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/user/public_html/windflowergrove/');

[kobra]

my path is public_html/myaccount/windflowergrove/


// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/public_html/windflowergrove/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/public_html/windflowergrove/');

Need to be something like

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/account_name//public_html/windflowergrove/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/account_name/public_html/windflowergrove/');

And any other where COMPLETE path is called for

I have been doing alot of mussing this is where I am at right now
i did eleminate my acct infor(which was confusing for you) so here is what I have - I have been checking as I change .

Post this section from your install that works

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/vhost/acct/public_html/windflowergrove/');

[stitchnkitty]

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/host/acct/public_html/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/host/acct/public_html/');



also would it be reasonable that I have to change everything all the way down since in my root is another zencart?

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

Sorry that was from the admin- but then they both are the same.

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/host/acct/public_html/');

OK now I have broken it - the white page!! I am going from badk to worse. Probably need to start over!

[stitchnkitty]

I have reloaded theorigianal files andrevamped the paths for the websites and my DB and am at not recognizing the
DB - I have the password the same as the password of my root site that is working - is that ok?

[kobra]

From your posted one that works you have

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/host/acct/public_html/');

From what you are attempting

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/vhost/acct/public_html/windflowergrove/');

One is vhost??? What are they actually?
Probably you trying to obscure something and differently in each post
You might have to post the ACTUAL code to get help
