Moving the database...

[apinkpony11]

Well, I made the whole database in a /shop/ folder in my website, but now that I'm finally pretty-much ready for it to be accessed by the public, I'd like to to be accessable through just typing in the domain name.

What's the simpliest method of me achieving this?

This should guide you:

Thanks. that was definately helpful, but when I go to my root site, nothing shows up?

if your store is currently in /public_html/shop/
then you're moving it to /public_html/

I don't know what I did, as I haven't touched that file in any way, shape, or form. I know it says its the cache file? But all I did was as directed by the wiki-file for the cache.

Oh and, now I see :

when I try to go to my admin. I'm sorry I'm such a beginner.

output started at /home/content/a/p/i/apinkpony/html/index.php:2

That means there is an unexpectd blank line on line 2 of the indicated index.php file. You may find that the file is double-spaced for some reason, perhaps related to your FTP program or your server config. If you never changed that file (and changes to that file are almost never needed), then you could simply re-upload an original. if the problem persists, you'll need to open it and edit it...

This tells me that your /admin/includes/configure.php didn't get updated fully when you renamed. Are all these lines correct on yours?

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

... and...

  define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/content/a/p/i/apinkpony/html/admin/');
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/content/a/p/i/apinkpony/html/');

If you have any differences, please post them here

Somehow all my edits to admin/includes/configure.php, didnt get updated, but I redid it and now I can log into the admin properly.

However, I haven't made any edits to index.php, and I'm not really sure where to get one? I mean, the download file is like, zipped up and has to be installed, correct?

[apinkpony11]

Darned. Well, I didn't personally edit the index.php, but I'm guessing it somehow got edited? Because, I uploaded the original one... and now...

Warning: main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl__default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/a/p/i/apinkpony/html/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 74

Warning: main(includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl__default.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/a/p/i/apinkpony/html/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php on line 74

So from that I'm just going to take an educated guess that some of the template edits I did DID edit the index.php file, even though I haven't done any major modifications.

I found one on my computer that must be post-edit pre-problems, uploaded that and now everything seems to be working fine at the moment...
