Home page link doesn't point to index.html

[muddywa2]

Sorry, it should say index.php, not index.html. I just installed Zen-cart last week and am finishing customizing it. I have no changed any links, and from the time I first launched my site, my Home Page. My home link points to my store root (www.muddywatercreations.net/store) and then just shows all the files within the store directory. THe home link should point to www.muddywatercreations.net/store/index.php. How do I correct this?

Log into your cPanel at your hosting provider, find the Index Manager, click that, then choose "No Indexing" for your "public_html" and "www" folders.

I did that but now I get page can't be displayed when going to www.muddywatercreations.net/store. It should default to www.muddywatercreations.net/store/index.php. Please help. Thanks.

Is your store installed into the subdirectory store? If it's just installed to the root you don't need the /store/ part in configs, just /.

[muddywa2]

It is installed in the sirectory store, not at the root

Within the 'store' dir. remove any other 'index' files so you just have one 'index.php' which is for Zen Cart.

Also, check this file: store/includes/configure.php around lines 25 or 26

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

Is the above what you have?

Are you sure, muddy, because I can go to the address you gave in your first post:
www.muddywatercreations.net/store

and get a 403 Permission Denied. But, if I go to:

www.muddywatercreations.net

I can see your landing page. Then, if I click on "Shop" while there, I get taken to:

www.muddywatercreations.net/catalog/index.php , which tells me that it's NOT installed in a folder named "Store", but in one named "Catalog".

www.muddywatercreations.net/catalog/index.php looks to be osCommerce.

Currently, the working link for Zen Cart is: http://www.muddywatercreations.net/store/index.php

Clicking the Home link though is where the problem starts. Hence, my suggestion to look within the config file. Could also be an .htaccess problem though.

Oops......you're right rob........I should have looked a little closer. Sorry about that.

[muddywa2]

For the osCommerce response, my old cart was osCOmmerce and I haven't retired that one yet. THe config file is below. Not sure which htaccess file to look for and what to look for within it. ALso, I don't have any duplicate index.php files. It seems as if it's just not defaulting to the index.php file but don't know how to do that....
