Re: newbie/ help with putting cart into the right folder

if you put it in / then your cart will show up as www.yourdomain.com, if you put it in /shop/ then it will show up in www.yourdomain.com/shop/

so stop putting it in a folder called "shop" and then it will be www.yourdomain.com

/ would be the path to your web server

understand?

Re: newbie/ help with putting cart into the right folder

I have deleted the cart (I ended up deleting the cart manually )and tried to resubmit but this is what I still get below.

The installation can not be completed:

  • This directory already exists or the directory field is empty
  • No valid directory name provided.
    thanks for help
