tsk522 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 This may be a stupid question that has probably been answered before, but anyway... When I go to my shop, www.---.com, I get transferred to the root directory. When customers type in www.---.com I want them to be forwarded to www.---.com/catalog. I already tried forwarding through godaddy.com (where I registered my domain), but that didn't work. I think there's something to edit in configure.php but I'm just not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Guest Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 move things down one level, ie create a directory named catalog and place everything in there. then change the configure.php files to reflect the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 if you have your site in /catalog then people need to click on a link from your root, ie www.domain.com if you 'forward' them via pointing, you dont get indexed properly. explain a bit more of what you want to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 yes, your initial post was a bit confusing. move everything up one folder, edit the configure.php files and you are good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsk522 Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 where you have /catalog/ replace with / <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hmm makes sense... well that worked perfectly. hopefully someone will benefit from my stupidity when they look at this thread. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonie Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 hi ! U hav a problem like my site. When i enter the admin site (by my domain /shop), it directs to the server name that i installed my OSCommerce. I have edited my config files in both /admin and /root. But it is not working now. So, can u tell me the way to set the link to the right (to my domain /shop). After editing my config, i cannot enter my catalog area (in admin). The annouce is "the file is not found" !

The annouce is "the file is not found" ! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> like Mibble explained above, just move everything one folder down. i think the easiest way to do it is to use your ftp program and copy the entire catalog to your computer then upload again to the root directory. then you just make changes in the configure.php file as Mibble explained.

antonie Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Edit the config file as i did in the last time. Can u explain clearly abt "download and upload to catalog folder"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
