wrong url

[Ivanna]

my home url is showing http://www.boydsilverworks.com/~mpbsw/
instead of http://www.boydsilverworks.com/

is there something I must change in configure.php

thank you
Ivanna

Yes. Your HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER and DIR_WS_CATALOG and DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG settings need to reflect the correct URL and path to your store.

If you don't know how to do that, post what you've got presently for those.

Thank you DrByte.
In /public_html/Admin-Folder/includes/

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.boydsilverworks.com');

and I must have this also?

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com/Admin-Folder/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com/Admin-Folder/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');


In /public_html/includes I have

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.boydsilverworks.com');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.boydsilverworks.com');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/~mpbsw/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~mpbsw/');

So all reference to '/~mpbsw/' should be 'http://www.boydsilverworks.com'
is this correct?

thank you

[DrByte]

Not quite.

All the DIR_WS_CATALOG and DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG settings should be '/'
and the DIR_WS_ADMIN and DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN should be '/Admin-Folder-Name/'

You don't want any mention of http://anything in your DIR_WS_xxxx settings

Thank you DrByte. This is working perfectly for me now.

I think perhaps I try to use ceon uri mapping. Do you know this?

thank you

[DrByte]

Don't bother with rewriting the URLs until you've got your shop running well. See how the search engines treat it, and then after 6 months you can consider whether you really need to change the URLs at all. Most good stores don't need to change the URLs.

[Ivanna]

Ok, thank you DrByte
