Already installed in root/zencart/ folder but want to view/access from root folder

Also, it's always useful if you provide some sort of explanation as to why you want to do this kind of non-standard thing. I can't think of a rational reason to have Zencart in a subdirectory but point the main URL to the installation there without using a redirect.

This has been discussed before as a way to over simplify upgrading (pointing the uri to a subdirectory instead of to the root of the possible location. The question as to why the OP is wanting this action is to see if there is some alternate reason identified such as a concern that previous links or rankings may be affected, etc... If this is a brand new site where those things haven't been established, then no further action is required. If they have been established then the suggestion would be to offer redirects from the old path to this new one, but carry on as has been described above. Of course if there is somme other reason, it would be suggested to discuss it.

Yup, I remember that discussion, but don't remember being much impressed by the argument.

Can respect that response. It is a little of a different way to handle things, but does seem tomake sense and still fit I think all of the various installation instructions withouthaving to pick and choose. Atleast if one looks past any mention of files "typically" being installed in the public_html directory. (Still true, but down one layer)

Not entirely sure of the down side to mapping the uri to the subdirectory as long as one doesn't go crazy with other random settings that could cause some sort of negative effect. But, would still begood to hear back about the above requests. :)
