Placing zencart in root directory of webhost

ello!
Am wondering.....If people place zencart installation into the root of their host site. eg. Without the /zencart folder
My eg. https://www.boardom.co.nz/zen
would become: https://www.boardom.co.nz
That's what I would like, but haven't thought about it till now, which is when I've finished my site! Was just learning about seo and was hoping I could do away with that /zen folder by shifting the contents...

Thanks for taking a moment to look and giving me your thoughts

There's a FAQ entry that addresses this specific question.

I've done the required steps in faq and have the site running now without the 'zen' folder.

Have come up with these errors when trying to access my admin. Could anyone tell me what I've not done? Thx!

looks like you forgot to fix both configure.php files

Thanks, I'll see what I've missed....:smile:
....ah, yes, couple of lines not done. Must have stopped for coffee! Thankyou for letting me know

Have done the same for another zencart site, but it doesn't show the product images any more? It used to, and all else is fine (so far).
Any idea what's missing? :smartalec:

Oh...problem solved. When shifting, images folder was moved into another images folder. So nested, wouldn't work. Now moved and working. (incase anyone has the same problem later)
