Make 'Home' Main_Page.php

[imcdonald04]

I know the question of how to change the Home page has been asked loads on here. I still have a problem getting what i want though and can't get my head round it.

Ive just started the site and got few tweaks that i need to fix before it goes live though. Im using a previously built website of a friends who is hosting it for me and the 'Home' Link is not what i want it to be. He had it as a direct link to a product. I want it to be a link to the define_main_page.php so i can have text info on the front page to welcome customers.

Currently the code in tpl_header is:

<li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . '">'; ?>&nbsp;<?php echo HEADER_TITLE_HOME_PAGE; ?></a></li>

This is the site www.flagsofwar.com

Any help would be most welcome and sorry for being such a Noob.

It already is by default if you have main_page.php enabled

No need to alter the code

What i have doesn't goto Main Page

My site says 'There are no products to list in this category.'

<!--bof-navigation display-->
<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Flags-of-War/162420477106933"target="_blank">Facebook</a>
<a href="http://flagsofwar.##########################"target="_blank">Blog</a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

</ul>
</div>

Check your settings
admin > config > layout settings > Main Page - Opens with Category > 0
admin > config > layout settings > Always Show Categories on Main Page > 0

admin > config > Define Page Status > Define Main Page Status > 1

Maybe one or two more??
