Moving Zen Cart to my root folder

When I first installed it I had it in it's own folder and now that I'm getting ready to add my own pages to it, I'd like to move it up a level once that's done.

Just a few questions before I do that:

1: Is it going to mess up my database structure?
2: Where would I change in the system where the store is located or would I have to...
3: Reupload the install folder and change where the store is located on my site or reupload the whole cart system?

I know it's going to be a lot of work and I should have done it in the first place.

Nice. I'm printing out the instructions right now. Hopefully I can get all I want done in a timely manner so I can get the store live in the next few weeks.

Thanks this is very much needed and appreciated.

Definitely finding a lot more help here than at the other support site for that other cart I was trying to use. Got some of it started already. Now I just have to wait for everyone to go to bed later to get into the hardcore stuff that I need to get done before I move everything. And that list is huge LOL.

Thanks again.

I didn't think I could get it done all in one night but I did. Gonna pay for it tomorrow though heh.

Thank you for all the help you've given me it was very much appreciated.

If my store was previously located in the folder "mysite.com/store"

and the entry in configure.php was:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');

when I move it to the root folder will the new entry be:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

?

to answer my own question I'm pretty sure that is the correct syntax after referring to the original zencart files.

thanks me.

Yes, that's correct.
