Moving cart to root dir. problems

Zen 1.3.8a

http://www.xcergy.com
I set this cart up using a start directory of /catalog/

I followed the instructions to move the cart to my root directory.
~ Changed sessions dir
~ modified configure.php in admin/includes & /includes
~ Made those two files read only.

Problem:

The /images/ folder produces 404 errors
The Attributes section has no information (empty database)

For the pictures, I recopied the files into /catalog/images/ , changed the configure.php files to reflect the directory change, and the pictures came back, but I would like to use the /image/ root directory location.

These are the only two errors I have found so far ... there may be more as I add product :-(

I think you can backup database and front files. Then install in root dir directly.

Ahhhh
It's already moved. What now?

Link?

and post your catalog configure.php WITHOUT the database info.

(same changes made to /includes/configure.php where needed)

Your images work fine for me. As far as the attributes, how did you backup and then import the database..... And why?

You see moving it to the root does not require you to change anything in the database info....

Only the paths are updated in your configure.php files.

So just hook it back up to the original database and you are good to go.

The images you saw were not from the /images/directory. I did a workaround and had them in a different directory so that the cart would work.

~ update ~

I said to heck with it and started back from scratch. I uninstalled zen and dumped the DB.

So now I have a fresh copy with a new DB.

Now I have my first item up, and the image does not show up .... in fact all images in the /image/ directory come up with 404 file not found errors. See for yourself:
http://www.xcergy.com/images/flyball/209b204a.jpg
it is the same photo as on my other website:
http://www.thedumbdog.com/catalog/images/flyball/209b204a.jpg
or this one from the root of /images/
http://www.xcergy.com/images/1_small.jpg

I am beginning to think this is not a cart problem, but an ISP problem. .htaccess files have no reference of this directory, so I don't think that is a problem.

Thoughts?

TIA

There are many that work http://www.xcergy.com/images/hm_freeyellow21.gif

This one however, 1_small.jpg, does not exist, thus 404

See for yourself http://www.xcergy.com/images/

The plot thickens. hm_freeyellow21.gif does not exist on my server. I did an FTP file search and it was not there.
1_small.jpg was.

How did you find that gif file that worked?

Thank You!

Update:

Freeyellow.com uses the root/images/ directory as a virtual directory. As such, Zen Cart users must choose a different directory name to hold cart images.

~ rename the /images/ directory

~ In admin/includes/configure.php :
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');
and
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

should be renamed to the new directory name.

~ Next; in the file /includes/configure.php

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

should be renamed to the new directory name.
