Renamed folder and site links are broken

[cindygordon]

www.cindygordon.com/rosswells is the site. I'm using version 1.5.1
As you can see, it doesn't look quite right anymore.

The site used to live at www.cindygordon.com/eureka, but the company has changed names, so I needed to change the path.

I followed the instructions listed here: https://www.zen-cart.com/content.php...that-directory

The back end is working perfectly. But the home page and all links from it are going to the wrong place.

Can anyone please help me figure this out, what might I have missed?

Also, one strange thing I noticed when I was making the changes to rename the folder... the instructions asked me to make changes to the file at admin/includes/configure.php. I don't have an admin folder, I have one that's named adminurrhtcqq, and inside of that, yes, there is a configure.php, and that is the one I made changes to. Not sure why it has that funny name, or if that matters?

Thank you in advance!!

It looks like there's an issue with the path for all of the links on the page. (that's a screenshot of the footer showing the link when I hover over one category.)

It looks like you maybe missing a "/" for the new foldername in your configure.php file(s).

EG
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/rosswells')
vs
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/rosswells/')

Rod G, THANK YOU for your reply!!

Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere that I have done that.


here's the config file from the folder named "adminurrhtcqq/includes":
Attachment 17173

Here's the config file from the regular includes folder:
Attachment 17174Attachment 17174

Let me know if it was really dumb for me to upload these here please and I will delete...

Also, it has to be a big clue that the backend works perfectly, but the public facing site is so messed up?

In your /includes/configure.php does not have single quote marks on these two lines:

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

change to

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


And yes, delete those Zip files you uploaded--plus change your Admin dir. name and the username and password for your database. Publicly posting that kind of confidential information is never good. Better to send in Private Msg. (PM) if need be.

Sorry, to have to tell you this, but yes you really should delete, but to be honest, it is probably too late for that to do you any good. I *must* now change your database login details in order to protect your site (just changing your password should suffice)

This is a two step process.

1. Using your cPanel locate the MySQL database tool, then look for the option 'Current users' - next to the store DB name you will find a 'Change password' option. Change it to something pretty obscure - Take note of what you change it to though (you will only need it once).

Now, load your two zencart confure.php files (one for admin, the other for the catalog). Enter the new password into the DB_SERVER_PASSWORD field and save the files.

Do this *now*. Please don't wait.

Also, it has to be a big clue that the backend works perfectly, but the public facing site is so messed up?

Agreed. Alas, I'm not seeing *why* there is a problem... things look ok to me, but I have to admit, I'm pretty tired at the moment)

Also, you should probably change the name of your admin folder too (most folk would insist you do this, but I've never been a fan of 'security by obscurity' so I'm not going to insist on this.

You may be asked to re-post your config files (so others can take a look and hopefully see what you and I have missed) but *please* delete/obscure the DB credentials before re-posting. We do not need to know these, and they won't be relevant to your problem.

I'm about to close shop for the night, but I suspect someone else will have a solution for you by (my) morning.

I seriously LOVE you, thank you so much, that worked!!!

RodG, thank you for those detailed instructions, I need them. I will attempt this now, thank you so much!! (Sorry, a bit naive, I'm afraid. Didn't know exactly what was in there.)

[cindygordon]

ok, RodG, I changed that password info. Not sure how to change the name of the admin folder, are you up for a little more detailed instruction? I mean, I know how to change a folder name, but do you mean the funny named one "adminurrhtcqq" or another admin folder? If that one, can I simply do a search in the 2 config files to find where it's referenced, and then I'm good? Thank you

While I didn't follow into the images or files of the actually posted configure.php files, you ought to be able to rename the adminurrhtcqq folder to whatever folder name you would like and do nothing else. Beginning in ZC 1.5.1 the admin folder was just "known" by the software and until it was posted that instead of admin that it was something else, no one should have been able to tell.
