Trying to Move ZenCart to new folder... Unsuccessful

[swelter83]

Hey everyone.
I have been trying to figure out how to move my Zen-Cart to a new directory/folder and have been VERY unsuccessful at it.
I have followed the tutorial's outline but it doesn't work
I have gone into the configure.php for both admin and the includes/configure.php
then moved my cart from:
cart.lifewaynutrition.com to this...

http://www.lifewaynutrition.com/shop

only to find out it does not work and i get a blank screen or something else.
since then I have moved the cart back to its default directory of installation:
cart.lifewaynutrition.com and it's working fine.

can someone please explain to me in simple terms how to make this transfer?
I am REALLY confused. Im not stupid, I just need someone that won't mind taking the time to help me understand whats going on so i can get this resolved.

the reason I want to move the shopping cart is for the SSL reasons, my server has my certificates under lifewaynutrition.com not under the sub-domains.

Any help will be GREATLY appreciated as always.
Sorry to be so long winded.

The tutorial is pretty straightforward.
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122

Basically, you just alter the paths that are listed in the configure.php files to match the new paths you're moving your files to.

In your case, it sounds like you're really only renaming from public_html/cart to public_html/shop and changing the URLs to www instead of cart.

So, you'd follow the pattern of finding all '/cart' references in the files and replacing them with '/shop'.

Since you're changing from a subdomain to not a subdomain, you'll have to add the foldername to the DIR_WS_CATALOG and DIR_WS_ADMIN and related entries ... ie: '/' becomes '/shop/' and '/admin/' becomes '/shop/admin'

Nice looking site, you did a great job with the graphics and the ambiance of the site.

Really, the places to make your changes are in the two configure.php files. Make sure that you don't mix them up, the admin and general files have slight differences.

Make sure you change
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://cart.lifewaynutrition.com');
to
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.lifewaynutrition.com/shop');
and
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cart.lifewaynutrition.com');
to
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.lifewaynutrition.com/shop');

AND these to
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

AND
the physical path needs to be set too!
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/physical/path/to/your/sites/shop/');
As Well As
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/physical/path/to/your/sites/shop/cache');

Did I miss anything?

Per your PM
I don't want to quote line numbers because you may have made changes to the files that changed the line numbers.

Just make those changes in the includes/configure.php and the admin/includes/configure.php and you should be good to go.
