Error changing downloads folder location

I had installed the newest version and started modifying, I got to the part about changing location of download folder. I had followed the FAQs about it to the letter but when complete I would get a error at top of page "Warning: The downloadable products directory does not exist: /home/xxxxxxx/public_html//home/xxxxxx/download/. Downloadable products will not work until this directory is valid. Now for some reason it is getting /home/xxxxxxx/public_html/ from somewhere else as in the locations that are required to be changed in the two config files are set to /home/xxxxxx/download/
Any thoughts?

Re: Error changing downloads folder location

Sounds like you've made some incorrect edits.

Post what you've got in the file on your server ... without the database password.

Re: Error changing downloads folder location

Here is the configure.php from the includes folder:

Re: Error changing downloads folder location

Okay ... so ... you've got this:```
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/pennerpa/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . '/home/pennerpa/download/');

And, since DIR_FS_CATALOG is (correctly) already defined as /home/pennerpa/public_html, when you add /home/pennerpa/download/ to the end of that you get /home/pennerpa/public_html/home/pennerpa/download/ exactly as the store is telling you.

That's why the instructions on changing the download location show you to remove DIR_FS_CATALOG from the define when you edit it.  Read again: <https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=280>
