greenbee Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I noticed that most sites have installed OSC in a catalog folder or directory. When i installed it this way...if you went to the page address (www.pclautoparts.com) you landed at a parent directory instead of the catalog. After clicking on the catalog folder..then you were then taken to the site. Ive removed the catalog folder and reinstalled it in the root directory now. Why is it necessary to install it in a "catalog" folder. If it is wise to install it in the catalog directory, How can i get the site to redirect to the top catalog page when the store address is typed in?

Guest Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 it is not necessary to install in a catalog directory, however some people have sites which contain lots of other info and the catalog signifies the store. it is personal preference. if you want it in the 'root' then just make sure you have all files copied there and the configure.php files reference the location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 search engines dont like redirects much, if you can avoid at all costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
