Guys ive done so many carts now and i want to try this zencart out - im nearly done all i have left is to find the following:

A - Edit /admin/includes/configure.php

Ive done this part .....

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');


How do i find this? Where is it? :/

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/');

Line 61 - right below this:

// * 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/

Welcome to Zencart. I think you'll like it better than all the others.

Ye but where is that cmd locted?


domain/../../../???

am i just being really supid? lol

[stevesh]

Now you're confusing me .

I assumed you were trying to change the name of your 'admin' folder. You got the first two instances right. The third is where I mentioned:


// * 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', '/home/stevesh/public_html/demo/MY_NEW_ADMIN_FOLDER_NAME/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/stevesh/public_html/demo/');

This is for a Zencart site at www.stevesh.org/demo.

If I've misunderstood, let me know.

Like stevesh, I don't understand your questions. The text is already in the file. You just need to rename the admin path to suit the new name you've given it. Uber simple.

lol ... im confusing myself now!

Oki did the first one, i changed the 'admin' to my user name ?? user name being my personal user name i set up in the install section right?

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

the bit i cant do is this one:

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/mystore.com/www/public/');

where is this located? in what folder/s ?? i feel so stupid, someone give us a quick brif lol

[mjmindustrial]

heres the domain imworking on ... www.draperdrill.com

look where im stuck at .. i feel like such a n00b :\ lol

[stevesh]

Let's start over.

You're trying to change the name of your 'admin' folder, right ?

[DrByte]

User name?

NO

It's referring to a FOLDER name.

Instead of visiting www.your_site.com/admin to access your store's admin, you need to rename that to something else that's not easily guessed. So, YOU pick a name, like "fred" or "i_like_jalapenos" or whatever, and you substitute all references to /admin/ in the admin configure.php file with that path name, and then in your FTP program you ALSo rename the admin folder to that name.
