    Default Home page link doesn't point to index.html

    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 /.

    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".
