which directory

[metamp]

my site's root directory is /public_html absolute path /home/public_html
and I installed ZenCart to /public_html/store

the site works fine but what do I need to do so the shop starts when I go www.mystore.com
I could use a php redirect script but I'm not sure if that's a right way to do this
the search engines could not index the site

hope I don't have to move the instalation to root directory of my site and change the settings

Sorry to disappoint, but if the content isn't in your webroot, nobody's gonna find it...

You could always just move the folder under public_html and update your 2 configure.php files to reference the new path .... just be careful to update all the paths properly... just insert the missing public_html/ part in all the appropriate places.

maybe I could ask my web host to make my root the store directory ?

me,

the easiest thing to do,
download to your desktop



open the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php

do a search and replace on /store/ replace it with /

save and upload into public_html

voila

[metamp]

did not work
I can get into the admin area but the index.php is looking for the zc_install which is renamed

ooohh man I have to reinstall this all over

[metamp]

instead of reinstalling I updated the configuration files with the instalation utility and the site works now exept I'm getting the warning that my /public_html/includes/configure.php is writeable

I chamoded it to 644 and then 444 and still getting the error

Any ideas?

When I changed the permissions with my ftp client it did not work but when I used my webhost's web based file manager the settings kicked in

Now it works fine
