    I have my store at /zen right now.

    I would like to change it now to my home directory of just /

    Where do I make that change?

    Better make a index.html file in the root and redirect it to zen directory!

    Redirects are not the solution ...

    If you were to use a redirect, you would do a true redirect via your Control Panel so that the Search Engines do not abandon you ...

    If you really physically want to move your site up one level from:
    /zen

    into the root:
    /

    Move everything up one level into the root directory ...

    WARNING: look in your root directory first, is there anything you are about to wipe out with duplicate names, directories, etc.?

    Edit the files:
    /includes/configure.php
    /admin/includes/configure.php

    Change all references to the directory /zen/ to be / in all of the defines ...

    If I wanted to do a redirect in my control panel, what files would I need to edit in order to keep the site working properly?

    Thanks!

    I did a redirect from my control panel, edited the configure files, all works great with one hiccup.

    The login buttons don't take me to the right location anymore. The domain is www.valleymeals.com. Any suggestions?

    I created a login and id and it works. Can you please elaborate more on the problem?

    Also, Home link doesnt works!

    EDITED: Never, ever post the zen_id or zenAdminID (session id) in a forum, email, newsgroup, newsletter, advertisement, etc. etc. etc. or you will be doomed ...

    Yes, it works now... :)

    I think the server was just still updating.

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure about the home button not working, it's working for me. But we're working on the site as I type, so maybe something was being worked on right when you tried.

    It should work now.
