help: Changing zen-cart-v1.3.1-full-fileset" folder name

[Magician742]

Hi! I successfully installed Zen cart for my boss.

I want to change this folder's name:
http://thefamilytreee.ca/Catalog/zen...eset/index.php

The "zen-cart-v1.3.1-full-fileset". I tried renaming the entire "zen-cart-v1.3.1-full-fileset" folder. When I did this, I can't pull up the shopping cart at all.

Please, help! Is it possible to change this folder's name to something less prominent?

If so, how I do this? Plain English, please as this all is very unfamiliar to me.

I am still a newbie but one who is enjoying this wonderful cart.



Thank-you.

Angie

Let's say you rename it catalog

Now edit the two files:

/includes/configure.php

/admin/includes/configure.php

And change all the settings of:
zen-cart-v1.3.1-full-fileset

to read:
catalog

NOTE: I would do everything in lower case

[Magician742]

Thank-you, I changed the names as you suggested.

/includes/configure.php still pulls up the long name.

/admin/includes/configure.php resulted in an error and I immediately switched to the orginal configure.php file

Do I have to reinstall everything? I hope not because I spent most of yesterday inputting my bosses products!

Any further suggestions?

[Ajeh]

Assuming that you have renamed your directory to /catalog ...

Could you post your files:

/catalog/includes/configure.php
/admin/catalog/includes/configure.php

from the server? Note: do not include your username and password ...

[Magician742]

Sure! Gladly if I am able to shorten this URL it would be super!

Here's the /catalog/includes/configure.php file:

Hopefully you can help!

All I want is from the URL to be something short like www.thefamilytreee.ca/catalog/shopping

Thank-you again,

[Ajeh]

This is your old site:

http://thefamilytreee.ca/Catalog/zen...-full-fileset/

Get from your server the files:

/Catalog/zen-cart-v1.3.0.1-full-fileset/includes/configure.php

/admin/Catalog/zen-cart-v1.3.0.1-full-fileset/configure.php

And copy them to:

/catalog/includes/configure.php

/admin/catalog/includes/configure.php

Then edit the files and change:

/Catalog/zen-cart-v1.3.0.1-full-fileset

To now read:

/catalog/

You do not have your configure.php files configured correctly for your site ... I do not know where you got those copies from that you posted, but they are not the ones on your old site at:

http://thefamilytreee.ca/Catalog/zen...-full-fileset/

Hi, Ajeh!

I owe you an apology....I copied the incorrect configure files. No wonder I couldn't find the User Name and Password! Sorry!

Sorry for my mistake! :)

I've made the changes you suggested and now the shopping cart doesn't load at all!

[Ajeh]

First ... you should use the lower case for your directory:

/catalog/shop

You are using:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/shop//');

You have a double slash in several files where they should be single, example:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/shop//');

Same with:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/Catalog/shop//admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/Catalog/shop//');

Also, you do not appear to have Zen Cart loaded at:

http://thefamilytreee.ca/Catalog/shop

Check your directory name on your server ...

Where is the code at? It looks like it is in:

http://thefamilytreee.ca/Catalog/zen...-full-fileset/

[iron_chick]

It's MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to rename the folder before you ftp it to your host. (When I first faced this, I just uninstalled and reinstalled after renaming and re-FTPing the folder.)

That may not be a good solution for those who already have a lot of time and energy invested, but thought I'd through it out there for those who haven't and hadn't thought about it. :-)

[Magician742]

Thank-you, Ajeh and iron_chick!

After a bunch of tinkering I was able to repair my long catalogue name.

I discovered I had TWO copies of Zen installed however, only one was complete. The other I had abandoned previously.

Moral of the story: Always delete old versions of Zen! LOL

Thank-you both, again!
