Getting Rid of folder name "zencart" from my URL

I have been building my site with the "zen-cart" folder on my server. Therefore my site's address has been: twoturtlesart.com/zen-cart/index.php

I am now close to launching the site and I want to get rid of the zen-cart folder (layer). I loaded all the files and folders within the zen-cart folder to the next higher level/layer. But am not able to get my site to load - instead I just get blank pages : twoturtlesart.com/index.php and
twoturtlesart.com/admin/admin.php

Thanks,
Jay

You need to make a few configuration edits as described in this FAQ on the topic: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122

thanks for the information. I have found the php files to reconfigure ...but I am not sure what I am to reconfigure

Specificially the FAQ says below:
"Your /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files are used to point Zen Cart™ to the right folders. In those files, you need to update several entries to match the new path information:

* DIR_WS_CATALOG
* DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG
* DIR_FS_CATALOG
* DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE
* DIR_WS_ADMIN (in admin)
* DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN (in admin)
* DIR_FS_ADMIN (in admin)

What exactly am I to edit on these pages? (Below is the entire php:)

Now I've messed something up in the includes/configure.php and the site shows white (although the admin part is still available). I put back the original configure.php file but I still not getting the store to load.

any suggestions? here is the php :

In your last post, you posted a generic version of the /admin/includes/configure.php file, but you said it's what's in your /includes/configure.php file. You can't mix up the admin and non-admin versions of the files.

ahhh, yes that was the mistake - easy to confuse the files with the same exact name. Thanks for your help Dr. Byte!
