The easiest way is to move Zen Cart out of the /page22 folder into the root. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122

Re: Making zen my home page

Thanks for that.. I have made a backup just incase I balls it up....Just one more question...I cannot find the admin/config/sessions folder.

Would that be in my /page22 directory?

edit

I have found that now! So is it as simple as changeing the folders like in the tutorial? I am a complete noob!

Re: Making zen my home page

Ok......If I explain the problems Im having from my end it might be clearer for you to help me.

My website is https://www.bizzarebizness.co.uk

My cart is located in /page22 How do I make page22 into the root?? I have tried as you advised but I got the thanks for installing zen cart message?

Is there a clearer way of doing this?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Making zen my home page

You'll usually see that Welcome message when you don't get the changes in the two configure.php files right.

I've done this kind of move many times, and that tutorial is right, if you follow it exactly.

Re: Making zen my home page

I managed to do it without doing any of those things...

I placed this into my htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex /page22/index.php

So now my site is showing my cart as my first page!

The only down side is that I cannot access my admin page with this on. So I have to delete it every time I want to check the admin side of things..

Oh well you cant win em all!

Re: Making zen my home page

Editing htaccess is not the way to do this. Move all the files and folders from the /page22 folder into the root and edit the config files as described in the tutorial.

Re: Making zen my home page

I have followed this tutorial and it worked except all the information is all over the place, there's no images and it's just a mess. I'm usuing the latest version of ZC and when I had it at /zencart it looked great, I had arranged it with a background and everything. My site is https://www.Trickstreet.net if you could help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks J
