Moving site from sub directory errors

Hello,
I have finally finished my site and used the info here.. www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122 to transfer it over. The admin login side of things looks fine, however, the site looks like this... craftjam.co.uk. Does anyone know what I have done wrong?

Thanks

Check to see that everything is correct in your configure.php file.

Here is my cunfigure.php file. I was originally in a folder called /directory/ so when I moved it all to the root, I deleted this part only from the 4 parts it was in. Two of them just had /directory/ with no extention after it so I changed those two to /public_html/

I have highlighted them in red below.

Is this the problem? Have I put the wrong thing here, I wondered if it should be something like /index. I really have no clue!

When I had my original dreamweaver site up, i was told by my host that the front page needs to be called index.html. When i click the links on my site now, it still seems to be looking for index.html. maybe theres something I need to change there. I have asked them for help but they say they can't help with 3rd party app's

If you have index.html in your ROOT folder, rename it to index-html.SUSP

OTHER folders in zencart will have their own index.html files (DO NOT rename these, or mess with them).

Your host is a pratt. If you were hosting with a GOOD company - one that KNOWS zencart, they would probably assist you (maybe even for free).

Zencart does NOT operate off flat "HTML". It operates off PHP.

Forget all you know about Dreamweaver. Put it back in its box and leave it there. It is of no use to you.

While Dreamweaver can be used to develop php platforms, you need to be an expert in php before you jump into that pond. This thread does not indicate that you are such an expert.

I have index.php thats all.

Some of the guys on my host are really good, but i guess this one was following the rules or couldn't be bothered :frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty::frusty:

Tell me if I am right:

Before you decided a webshop might be nice, you built a HTML site using dreamweaver on your domain.

Then you installed zencart in a sub-directory.

Then you decided to move zencart to the ROOT directory to become your main website.

You did not delete/disable the original dreamweaver site. so you still have that operational, with its index.html file in the root folder.

Just RE-NAME that index.html file to index-html.SUSP and the broweers will then operate by finding znecart's index.php file.

You did not delete/disable the original dreamweaver site. so you still have that operational, with its index.html file in the root folder. I did delete all my old site off my root directory before transfering zencart, but I must have missed something but not sure what? I cannot see an index.html file there but there is an index.php

Just RE-NAME that index.html file to index-html.SUSP and the broweers will then operate by finding znecart's index.php file.

No index.php to rename, when I go onto my site there are just links, and click a link it says... The requested URL /public_html/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Here is my cunfigure.php file.

Change the red parts to these red parts and try again

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)

  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Hi,
Tried that and it didnt work.
However, I have just realised I wasn't in the root I was in...
ftp://[email protected]/public_html/

I tried moving it all to the very root of
ftp://[email protected]/ and it didn't like that either

I know I will be something completely stupid that I haven't realised I have done!

Is there something I can show you so you would be able to see what I have done wrong. Maybe I have put it all in the wrong place? changed the files wrong?

Thankyou
A

Your problems are not related to zencart. What are you doing in the FTP folder?

You need to learn how to manage your hosting environment, and that's not something that gets taught here.

I have nothing in public_ftp, just an incoming folder.
Do you think it will be best to back it all up and re upload it all? If so I would need to know for sure that all the zencart products and settings are backed up, however, if I do that, my configure files would need to be different wouldn't they.

I would probably never have started this if I realised it wouldn't be straight forward.

Really dont know what to do. would someone be able to go in there and look around?

Hi,

I now have no admin since i have re uploaded these files after checking them

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/public_html');

Unless your folder structure looks like
/public_html/public_html/ then these entries are wrong.
Change them to
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Needs to be done in both config files

At a glance, everything else look OK.

Did you re-upload to the folder called 'admin' or the renamed admin?

What is the error message you are getting?

Cheers

I have changed the con fig files (2 posts back)
As for the last post I have re uploaded the admin but the admil login page is missing when I go to it in my browser.

I am completely lost here!

Me too now. I'm not sure if 'admil' is a typo, or the name of your admin folder.

If the login page is 'missing' it generally means that your files have been uploaded to a different folder than the one you are using to trying to connect too.

EG, if your admin folder is called "myadmin" then the admin files will need to be located in this folder (and not one called 'admin') and the URL to connect to will also have the same name, eg, http://mystore.com/myadmin/

In other words, these must all be consistant.

Also, exact error messages may help... it is surprising the number of people that mis-read these and proclaim the page is 'missing' when the error clearly states something different, such as 'permission denied' and even 'server error'. Needless to say, the solution for the problem is as different as the error messages themselves.

Cheers
Rod

that was a typo!

What happened was I moved all the files to another directory to check that I had them in the right place. I have moved them all back and it started doing this. I have checked that all the files are in the correct place too! And have not renamed any of my admin stuff
