How do I Change front page of Store?

I have not had any probs with Catagories or products but can not find where I change the front page of my store. I know it must be easy but can not find the place where you do it.
The front page says
Congratulations! You have successfully installed your Zen Cart™ E-Commerce Solution.
Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?
and under it is an image with a picture of the zen book.

Could somebody tell me where the link is to change this?

Thanks

Jim

What words would you use to describe the front page? I try looking up frontpage but can not find it.

The link I provided will show you how to change the "Congratulations" message.

The ZEN Book is an image on the main page. You can change this in admin - tools - define pages editor.

Re: How do I Change front page of Store?

Since I am a new Zen Cart user I would like to ask you for some help. I am trying to change my Front page, shipping policy,..etc. So I went in Tools -->Define Pages Editor--> and chose the pages I would like to Edit.
But then the problem appears. On every site which I choose I would like to Edit it says Error:I can not write to this file. Please set the right user permissions on: /var/www/vhosts/....etc

What kind of a permission?? :blink: I really don´t understand. Can someone please let me know what is this "Error" all about?

Thank You :blush:

Usually referred to as main index page

Define pages need to be chmod, via ftp, to 777..

Re: How do I Change front page of Store?

The permissions on my define pages are set to 644. 777 is a pretty risky setting.

Some hosts allow permissions to be set using an FTP client, but the best way is to use the file manager from your webmaster panel.

html includes/your template/define_main_page.php is the file that edits the content on your main page if you would prefere to edit that as aposed to using the ez page manager.
