Renaming the zencart directory.

[Jeffries Productions]

I followed the instructions in this tutorial:https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122 to change my zen directory.

Once completed following these steps my entire cart would not work. So i changed my configuration file back to the original one and got the site back up.

Is changing this directory really necessary or can I get by without changing it?

im renaming from http://www.flyteusa.com/flyteusa/zen...eset-12112007/

to: http://www.flyteusa.com/flyteusa/zc/

I just tried to follow the instructions again a second time. I get the welcome to zencart and it and it has the link to install zencart.

Is this what your asking for?

[kobra]

Some like this

  define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/flyteusa/zc/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/flyteusa/zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/flyteusa/zc/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/flyteusa/zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/');

[Jeffries Productions]

ok well The way I posted above is the second way I tried it. that didnt work. The first way i tried it i renaimes all /zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/ to /zc/.

Either way did not work.

[kobra]

Use FTP and make a folder "save" and move everything in your /zc folder to the created /zc/save folder
Trandfer a full file set to /zc create another temp db and install ZenCart.

Save the created configures from this install

Delete all the /zc files preserving the /zc/save folder
Now move all contents of /zc/save up one level or back to /zc

Remove the existing configure files and replace with the ones saved after editing them with the original DB detail block.

Thanks, that should work. I give that a show tonight and see how things turn out. Thanks again and sorry for the troubles.

hi kobra, need some serious help here.

i've followed every instruction i could find on renaming the admin directory. Renaming the files, changing permissions etc.

i even did the reinstall thing u mentioned.

still nothing.

all i got was back to square one where it says: "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart™."

even when i changed the admin file name back to admin, i couldn't get back to my original admin page. just the hello message.

PLEASE help me out on this. i'm at my wits' end.

here are my config files: (i've used back admin for now)
