OK...I now copied my cart to a subdirectory rather than a subdomain.

It used to be conway.boosternation.com and now it's boosternation.com/conway.

I'll post my config files...here's the admin/includes:

@stevehare:

Precisely.

However, a full backup would still be strongly suggested before attempting to do so. You never know what readings you might loose in there (even if it's a pretty rare case).

[stevehare]

Thanks...I went ahead and copied the suddomain to a subdirectory and I updated the two config files....still...no luck.

I checked the password and username of the mysql database...it's good....I've added a new username/password combination to log in and still nothing.

I posted my updated config files...anything out of the ordinary?

Any other ideas? I'm losing it!!!

[TheOracle]

Did you, also, followed the installation instructions, from the docs folder, from the latest downloaded Zen Cart ZIP file ?

[stevehare]

No, I was just following the recommendation from above.

[TheOracle]

In that case, it would be strongly suggested to peek into the docs folder and to follow the FAQs from this site, (as well as the wiki documentation), for more information on how to install Zen Cart.

steve ... change these settings:

// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.boosternation.com/conway');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://boosternatio.powweb.com');

// Main webserver: eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.boosternation.com');
// Secure webserver: eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://boosternatio.powweb.com');

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

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/conway/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/conway/');

[stevehare]

Sorry to ask...but I'm a bit confused...you say to change those settings....and I want to make sure I get it right.

Which config file are those from and what should they read?

[Ajeh]

If the settings are in one or both of the files ... they would match ...

Couple I missed by the way ... change:

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

to read:

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