How do I change link to home?

ok so none of this made any scents to me i tried all of them and still my link does not goto the right directory. i need my link to stop going from http://www.rottenappleind.com/zentcart/ and goto http://www.rottenappleind.com/ also due to the fact that my server will not redirect to /zencart it gives a index'ing error

:oops:

Never mind this post i fixed it via the index'ing server on my host provider....

Directory Indexes

If you have control over this part of your server add this line to it:

zencart/index.php index.php

PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE SPACES!!

I would like to exchange reciprocal links with my new web site https://WWW.GIFTOFFER.CO.UK

I would like to change the Home links to website.com/index.php

There is an index.html that loads when I go to website.com and the home links go there instead of to the index.php.

I've already changed the tpl_header and footer per post 20, but still get sent to the index.html

Any ideas?

Thanks!

new install v 1.3.8a

Post 20 was for a different case.
You need to chane instances of

<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'

To:

<a href=http://.webname.com/index.php>'  or the www version

I am not actually changing my link to my root folder i have a sub domain for my store and I entered that like coded int he above post and I get a page load error.

But, i am able to type the same URL in by hand it goes right to the page.

Ok i figured that out the sub domain, but ALL other links on the sit still reveal the folder info, is there a way i can get the zencart folder to be hidden under the subdomain for all links?

Thanks,
Brian

ALL other links on the sit still reveal the folder info
What are your details???
ZenCart version?
How this was installed?
Where it was installed initially? (path)
If you relocated it to this sub-domain?
etc...???

I have the latest version of ZenCart with the security patch installed.

The current path to the store is:
http://www.flyteusa.com/flyteusa/zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/

This is where i originally installed, and i never relocated it i just set up a sub domain to point at that folder location.

the subdomain is:
shop.flyteusa.com (this will take you right to the index.php)

When the entire site is live the url will be:
http://www.flyteusa.com/zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/

[Sorry, the person that i am building this site for messed with the primain domain in the hosting account so the sub domain will not work. If you dontmind trying back in about an hour so i can get this sorted out. 2:30pm 09/16/09]

When the entire site is live the url will be:
http ://www .flyteusa.com/zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007/I would STRONGLY suggest that you rename the "zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007" part to something more suitable.

Last time i renamed it, the whole site would not work. i got a blank page. Is there a fix to that? I am still working on getting the domains fixed.

To move or rename your installation folder: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=122

ccaines - thanks so much for the detailed explanation! SO much appreciated! And it worked GREAT!

Ok so I followed the tutorial on how to rename your zen directory, I read it through then i executed step by step. It did not work, so i reloaded the original configure files and now the site will not load at all.

Any suggestions on how to fix this.

Jeffries Productions,
Don't know how this belongs here - why not your own thread properly titled....

Post nonsensitive parts of your configure.php file - use the code tags to enclose it

yeah if you read some of my prior posts in this thread, my concern was changing my home link. Someone else told me to change it.

Jeffries Productions,

Where is the contents of your configure.php file?

I've been looking through this thread and I was wondering how I can do the reverse. Right now my Home links back to my main website and I want it to link to shop.domain.com

I did originally install zencart in the main domain before deciding I wanted it moved and did a straight copy to the subdomain. Could this be the problem and what do I need to do to fix it?

What did you initially alter to change it?

I didn't change a thing in the tpl_header.php file that everyone else seems to be modifying to direct you to the specific destination. Mine still had the HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . code.
I've moved the entire cart software to the shop.site.com but I'm wondering if because it wasn't originally there I need to change some code or preferences to direct it to the new location.
I'm fine hiding the Home in the breadcrumbs but obviously since I want to keep the main site as a static index.html page because of other retail options I need the header and footer links to go back to main shop index.php
Any ideas?
