Domain name question

**rwment** · 21 May 2007, 10:21 PM

Actually it isn't cheesy at all. I use an index.php page instead of a index.html page:

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.got-its.com/zencart/" );
?>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Your Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.got-its.com/zencart/" );
?>

Google loves it as I use their HTML method of verification and I didnt have to move my file structure around or alter my config files.

The only difference the consumer sees is the addition of a subdirectory on their address bar.

Of course having your store in your root folder is ideal but those of us that already have a crapload of stuff there for other things it is not always feasible, that and the fact that I try not to alter the config files if I dont have to.

ok so what would I put in this part to replace shop:

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

I can delete shop from some areas and just eave admin, but what about the places where it only says 'shop'? ie: after CATALOG.

Thanks!

If I'm understanding you correctly . . . you would change

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/shop/admin/');

to

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

Make sense?

That's exactly right. You don't need to replace "shop".......just get rid of it.

**flex22** · 22 May 2007, 01:02 PM

I need to be sure before I f%$£ anything else up.Zen cart seems like a harder slog than I had envisioned so far.Who knows, maybe it'll get lighter

**flex22** · 22 May 2007, 01:06 PM

So where it says:

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

Just get rid of 'shop' and leave nothing then???

**gjh42** · 22 May 2007, 01:41 PM

No, you delete either /shop or shop/, leaving you in this case with just /.

**Get Em Fast** · 22 May 2007, 01:45 PM

Correct. That way, it just points to the "root" of your host site, and not to "shop". which after the move, won't exist.

**Get Em Fast** · 22 May 2007, 01:47 PM

Yes, gj is right (as usual).....you've got to have the "/" there. I was just confirming the deletion of the word "shop". I should have been more clear on that.....sorry.
