Moving my cart from subfolder to replace my home page

I hope I am on the right forum, if not tell me which forum to go to, please?

I have installed Zencart but have installed it in a subdirectory called "shop" (as stated on the install tutorial) I need to make Zencart my "home page" which is already an old html page called "index". Can you tell me how to get rid of my old "home page" and make Zencart my new "home page"

Thanks

Look in the tutorials for I have installed Zen Cart to a directory. How do I rename or move that directory?.

It is a simple process: move all of the folders and files that are in the /shop/ folder to /public_html/, and change your /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files to eliminate /shop or shop/, whichever is appropriate for the particular define. Make sure you get all of them, and change exactly that and nothing else.

You will also need to rename the old index.html file - make it something like index_old.bak.

I did the same thing because I thought that I would use the index page for marketing and other customizations. I want the flexibility to create a separate index page outside the confines of the Cart.

I simple created a temporary re-direct to the /shop directory and that has been working fine for me without having to move the structure of the cart.

I can still use my site index should I need to.
