Moving ZENCART folder

[DrByte]

You'll need to use your FTP software to move the files up a level to the public_html (or whatever the webspace foldername is ... htdocs, httpdocs, public_html, etc) folder.

Then you do the file edits as mentioned in the FAQ you quoted or the Wiki docs:

http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Change_Folders
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Switch_Servers

Doc,

when editing the files, what do I replace catalog with?

for example, for: DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/' ... what do I put in considering i want the cart on the main page of the website>?

DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'

becomes

DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'

TurtleDove,

Another option you can do that will have the same effect would be creating a Apache redirect.

Example:

"RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ http://yourdomain.com/catalog/index.php"

You can put this in the bottom on your .htaccess file without the quotes. Basically what this commands says is that when someone enters your domain name in their web broswer they will be redirected to zencart's index.php file.

If you do that and the site gets busy then you may hit the maximum number of redirects allowed on that server and have the site fall over because of it.

Moving to the root is the best option.

That is a good point Vger, moving zencart to the root is definitely the best way to go.

The other thing that can be done is to create a nice landing page in html.
Call it index.html and place it in your root directory.
When you click it it takes you to tyour index.php in the subfolder.
