How to launch store installed on a subdirectory like it was in the root?

Hi guys,

In one of my stores I have Zencart installed in a subdirectory. What can I do to make it run like it was in the root? I don't care if it show in the address bar the "/store/" THanks!

Domain needs to point to the subdirectory, configure.php files identify subdirectory as / only rather than /sub/, file paths/constants with FS in the constant definition point all the way to the sub folder.

I'm trying to remember the construct of the constants with WS in them, I can't remember if these point to the underlying directory structure or the path off of the URI.

Will also need to evaluate what is necessary regarding the database internal location pointer depending on your version of ZC.

If, by the highlighted question, you mean that while the Zen Cart is installed in a subdirectory you'd like it to be accessed as https://www.mysite.com, you use your hosting company's cPanel to point your site to that directory.
