How do you change the directory for zen?

[bfwdesigns]

Hello,

I am ready to go live with my store and my zen directory is under mydomain.com/store, but I want to just make it mydomain.com and not have it under a directory..

Where do I go to change this? Thanks

You would move all the ZenCart files that are in /your_shop_folder......to the root of your site.

then edit 2 configure.php files
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

these files contain references to your current folder in the form /your_folder/

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

you correct all occurences that reference the folder removing the shop/ entries so in the above example you end up with

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

Save these and replace the correct file to the reapective location.

There are a couple other things to address during your move.
They are documented here:

I changed the files but still it wont work, what am i doing wrong?!

Here is the old admin/includes file:

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

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/sue/public_html/cart/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/sue/public_html/cart/');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/sue/public_html/cart/cache');

to:

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

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/sue/public_html/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/sue/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/sue/public_html/cache');

Here is the old includes/configure file:

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/sue/public_html/cart/');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/sue/public_html/cart/cache');

to:

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/sue/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/sue/public_html/cache');

Then in the zen cart admin, i went to sesssions and changed it to:

/home/sue/public_html/cache

Is there anything else that I need to do in my ftp program or admin... I still have the cart folder, do I copy everything from there and paste in directory into the public_html folder????

Did you miss the first step??

You would move all the ZenCart files that are in /your_shop_folder......to the root of your site.

And DrBytes refereence to: Change_Folders

So the answer is yes, you have to move/copy ALL the files.

ok, i did want you said and now i got this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: phpbb in /home/sue/public_html/includes/autoload_func.php on line 79

how do i fix this? thanks for your help!

Also, i cant view the admin either...

[bfwdesigns]

ok, i fixed it where I can now see the admin area, but I cant view the catalog..

still shows this error:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: phpbb in /home/sue/public_html/includes/autoload_func.php on line 79

[Merlinpa1969]

do you have phpbb installed and configured n the zen cart configure files?

[DrByte]

do you have a file in your /includes/classes folder called class.phpbb.php ? or is it class.phpBB.php ? (with uppercase)? As of v1.3.5, it needs to be all-lower-case.

[bfwdesigns]

I am not at home to check to check it, but I dont believe I had phpbb enabled and I have not done anything differently besides moving the files to the home directory.

Where do I go to see if I had phpbb enabled? I know that in the zen admin I believe under configuration and my store , where it says "enable phpbb linkage" that it says "false".... is this what you are referring too?

Or, maybe this is something that I did not do right in the includes/configure, admin/includes files?

I appreciate all the help and need to get this site up today... help!
