Problem, My site doesn't show up sometimes


Hi

I am facing a problem inwhich i don't know where to start from. I am building a shopping cart and for sure using zen cart, and i put all the files in a "shop" folder in my httpdocs. On the httpdocs folder i created an "index.html" file which redirects to the shop main page:
http://www.myprojectparts.com/shop/index.php

Here is the html redirection code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My Project Parts - The UAE electronics hobbyists source of electronic parts, community support</title>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="2;url=http://www.myprojectparts.com/shop/index.php"></HEAD>
<BODY>
You will be directed to our shop in few seconds. If not please refresh the page.
</BODY>
</HTML>

The problem is, when i visit my website "www.myprojectparts.com" the index.html page is open and starts redirection which fails sometimes. After redirection starts, a blank page show up sometimes or "Error in Communication" page is show up.

I've conducted my hosting support, and they ensure me that the problem is in the program i am using (zen cart).

So what can be possiably the problem?? I have a dout in the ssl certificate, because in my first installation, I've enabled the ssl option. But after i faced alot of problems, i reinstalled without ssl.

I wrote this in linux installation because my hosting service is using FreeBSD according to

"Even a suggestion would help"

move the shop to the root.

Thnx dbltoe,

I would do this, but i want the shop to be in folder, the forum in another folder, and the blog in another one. I don't want to mix them up.

Here down, Iv'e attached some images for what i get.

Unless the forum and blog are paying the bills, I'd still put the cart in the root and put EzPage links to the forum and blog.
FireFox will not do a redirect without the customer clicking an "allow" button. Most folks are paranoid and won't click.
