HELP The home link will not goto home

DWells:

I think I checked out your site while you were making the changes... or shortly after you made the suggested changes (before changing them back).

what I saw was it looks like you are forwarding to a file, instead of a directory... the reason I figure this is what is happening, is some of my surfing earlier had ```
http://www.kimberliteassemblers.com/index.phpindex.php?main_page=

> the "index.phpindex.php" is why you were getting 404 errors.
> 
> and because your site is allowing people to see the file structure of your site I suggest asking your hosting company if they have (and if they don't will they) it fixed so when someone goes to a directory, it loads index.php if available.
> 
> there is a setting in the hosting system (that you may have access to) that tells your server what to load and in what order... if index.php isn't listed Zen Cart will not load, and instead show the folder structure of the site.... most sites have it set up so it loads "index.html" then "index.php" and some hosts have an extra "default.*"
> 
> Again, talk to your host -- because if what I think is happening is the cause, even if you move it to your root folder, you'll continue to have the same problem.
> 
> If your host says it is set up to load "index.php" when someone types in a directory name... then you could try reinstalling Zen Cart to your root folder, or moving your current cart.
> 
> I know you asked for a one liner for what you should do-- but I thought it needed a longer answer.
> 
> Hope you manage to get your site working soon.

Thanks DWELLS I think I may try to reinstall.
