ronan Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 My sites home page url is set to www.gkdesigns.ie/oscommerce. How do i get it to load up the homepage just using the main url of www.gkdesigns.ie? I've tried moving the oscommerce/index.php outside the oscommerce main folder but that just gave me error messages.

Guest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Modify your web domain address in your webhost control panel to forward to www.gkdesigns.ie/oscommerce <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well that isn?t to smart if the nameserver takes a dive... or just if he changes directory ;)

ronan Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Hey, I am doing 2 sites at the moment so i added the following code to the index page of my www.ijumbleonline.com website: <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1;url=www.gkdesigns.ie/oscommerce/"> You can have a look yourself, it is giving me this error message now Warning: main(includes/configure.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\webworld\ijumbleonline\ijumbleonline.com\www\oscommerce\includes\application_top.php on line 29 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/configure.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in D:\webworld\ijumbleonline\ijumbleonline.com\www\oscommerce\includes\application_top.php on line 29 Any ideas? Thanks
Guest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I would just move the entire install to the root folder, then go into includes/configure.php in the catalog and the admin and remove the oscommerce from the path.
wizardsandwars Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks, will this be search engine friendly though? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, that would be just about the worst possible thing you could do, in regards to search engines. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit. If you have a question about any of my posts here, your best bet is to contact me though either Email or PM in my profile, and I'll be happy to help.
Guest Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Just modify your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure to point to you main domain. Just remove any 'catalog' from your configure. Both in includes and admin. Thanks
Guest Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 Thanks, will this be search engine friendly though? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yupp, 100% if you know how to trig the search engine?s I always run shops in subfolders and forward to the mainpage of the shop. and all products i add end up in googles search list
wizardsandwars Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Yupp, 100% if you know how to trig the search engine?s <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Completly false. A meta refresh is absolutly the worst thing you can possibly do. Use as 301, or a php include. If you use a meta refresh, odds are your site won't be listed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: As of Oct 2006, I'm not as active in this forum as I used to be, but I still work with osC quite a bit.

Very Very strange indeed :D Or is it that ive done it properly ? Nevertheless it works gr8 for me and all my friends ive helped to set up shops for.
