I think you will be better loading it into a sub-folder. Good luck Buck

Good luck Buck <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's always good to have the store in root! so there is nor problem to run a template or e.g. a cms side by side in root. whats yr template alike? the solution could be renaming the index.php to store.php as buck wrote than you only would have to change in catalog/includes/filenames.php the define for DEFAULT which is index.php to store.php and thats it. leave the configs as they are working call the store with directly http://yrdomain.com/store.php or referr to it relative dahui

♥Vger Posted September 25, 2005 Posted September 25, 2005 Web servers look for 'homepages' in a certain order - usually index.html comes first then index.htm, then (further on down the list) comes index.php or default.php. Store.php doesn't come anywhere in that list. Vger
