site doesnt work

[oxicottin]

Im sorry but I still dont quite understand. I have read the https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=101 and it talks about if I move my forlder "Which im not" and now you saying I just have to modify my config.php file (which is located where) and what do I modify? I just want to change my web host directory to point to that folder (rbackyard) so my Zencart website can be used so if I change the directory to (/rbackyard) what exactly will I have to chang in the ZenCart files

Thanks,
Chad

What do you have currently for lines 15-26 of your includes/configure.php file?

[oxicottin]

here is lines 14-27

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.rbackyard.net');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.rbackyard.net');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/rbackyard/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/rbackyard/');

SInce you are making changes to your hosting setup such that any web address starting www.rbackyard.net actually goes to www.rbackyard.net/rbackyard, you need to stop Zen Cart from then looking for the rbackyard folder that visitors will already be in.

To do this you change these two lines

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

to

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

in both of your configure.php files.

Thanks a million! Is this the only thing I have to change?

[kuroi]

As long as you do it for both configure.php files, that should be enough. Moving (or in this case re-directing) Zen Carts is one of those things that's really difficult to get your head around, and yet really easy in practise. If you have any further problems with this, come back here and we'll sort them.

KUROI, I did what you said and the site works! But, the admin section doesnt. I log into my admin section with http://www.rbackyard.net/admin/login.php and it show fine but when I put in my pass and user it gives me an 404 error.

Thanks,
