renaming directory folder

[bluelion]

it says:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/webstore/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/webstore/');

I've been reading lots of forum posts. Would the following work?

Remove all the zencart docs and folders from the primary "webstore" folder so the directory would be /public_html/... (all the documents contained in the current webstore folder)?

In other words, since my host says I have to have index.xxx at the "top level" under /public_html/ for the URL to work, do all the files and folders for zencart have to be in a separate folder named (in this case) webstore, or can they be taken out of the "top level" folder?

You're making thei harder than it needs to be, I think.

Move all the folders and files from the /webstore directory to the root (public_html) directory.

Remove the index.html file from the public_html folder.

Edit the two configure.php Zencart files to remove all mention of /webstore (so the define above will be: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/danci18/public_html/'); - (there are also other places to remove the /webstore part).

Done. Zencart uses index.php in the root to start your store.

Thanks so much. I'll give it a try and let you know the results. I really appreciate this--can't try it right now but will do so later on today. Thanks again.

Still not working...

I've been working on this on and off and followed your directions. I did get everything out of webstore folder, reset the configure.php in includes and admin, but when I go to the site the text has loaded but none of the images.

I reset sessions in the admin session directory as well. Anything I try to do out of admin takes me to a error page which shows this: The requested URL /webstore/xxxx/admin.php was not found on this server.

where xxxx is the renamed admin folder. So there is still some setting that says webstore, right?

HELP!!!!!

MORE INFO AND UPDATE

I found a couple of lines of code with /webstore/ that I had failed to change. But the site still does not load images. www.dancingtothespiritofthewood.com

--when I updated the code for the directories (for such things as DIR_WS_CATALOG) I used the entire path (home/danci18/public_html) instead of just public_html. In some places there was previously just /webstore/ and in some the entire path.

--I changed includes/configure.php and xxxx (new admin)/includes/configure.php.

--In Admin Configuration Sessions, I changed it to /home/danci18/public_html/cache. I can't change it back now--it still takes me to error message "The requested URL /home/danci18/public_html/ha5Ly2/configuration.php was not found on this server."


--to deal with hacking issues from several years ago, I created a new admin folder with xxxx (not the real name) for its name. There is still a folder named Admin which has the following folders in it: includes, classes, functions, and modules. Under the old directory hierarchy (/webstore/) everything was working fine, so I don't think I need to delete it, but should I move those files into the xxxx (new admin) folder?

Thanks so much for any and all help.

It appears to me that your configure.php is not setup correctly ...

Could you post your file, from the server, for:
/includes/configure.php

without your username and password ...
