moving from subdomain to domain

[dinkar]

Hi,

I am having hosting with godaddy

my domain is www.mydomain.com

for testing i created submain "abc" and connected it to subdirectory "abc". When i type abc.mydomain.com, zen-cart installed in direcotry "abc" is shown. Now i am happy with test and want to access website as mydomain.com and not as abc.mydomain.com. I do not want to move installation from abc directory.

my abc/include/config file is as follows:

// 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://abc.mydomain.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://abc.mydomain.com');

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

  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
  define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
  define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
  define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
  define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
  define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
  define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
  define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/home/content/html/abc/forum/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
  //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/content/html/abc/');

  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
  define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');
  define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);
  define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

-- database code removed --

  // The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
  // For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from:  none, database, or file
  // If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache 
  // or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
  // ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache   -- leave no trailing slash  
  define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'database'); 
  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/content/html/abc/cache');

I have done following changes in file, but i am not able to see my site mydomain.com in browser

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mydomain.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mydomain.com');

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

I do not know where i am going wrong.

Please suggest

Thanks in advance

I do not want to move installation from abc directory.

Being that you are not moving the files - don't change the configure.php files.

You can use other means to redirect mydomain.com to your store but ultimztely you will end up at abc.mydomain.com

You will have to move files from to your domain and change the config files. Can I suggest that you live the subdomain installation at it is and copy the whole thing to your domain and change the config files on your domain. If all work well , be happy. Otherwise, as suggested before redirect traffic to your domain to your subdomain. Easy and quick way.
