*I* thought I was supposed to put the 4 folders (admin, bmz_cache, images, and includes) INTO my zencart folder. I guess I didn't know what ROOT meant, and assumed it was "directly to". Anyway, apparently they are to go into the /public_html/. NOT the /public_html/zencart.

NOW, after finding that thread I posted above about the overwriting files (http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83680) I'm scared to move them! LOL!

I want to be CLEAR of what I am to do now, before I do it. Especially since I am seeming to misunderstand things! In that thread Misty says:


This is my plan....tell me if it's right!

First I need to back up what I have. Is it correct that to do this, I just FTP a copy of my zencart folder to my desktop? And then, where do I go to make a copy of the mysql?

After that, I will go back to the place on my computer with the IH2 download, and put them into the /public_html? The bmz_cache direcly to it, and then OPEN the other three folders and move each file individually to the folder that is already in the public_html with that name?

Then, is it going to hurt anything to leave these other ones in the zencart folder that is in the public_html? Or do I remove them? Or do I remove just a PART of them? I DO think that those were overwritten. Ok, I KNOW something in there was overwritten.....I just don't know what to do about it now.....
Check out Tutorials/FAQ top of the page.

Not to confuse everyone on where to put files....
It depends on where you installed Zen-Cart.
In MamaT case she has ZenCart installed to /public_html/.
But she misunderstood when installing IH and created a new folder /public_html/zencart/ and uploaded the IH files there.

YES, always backup before adding/touching any files.
AND use the Folder OverRides.
