Help on Renaming the "Catalog" folder

[francisbay]

I searched the board before thinking of posting this question.

I also searched the contribution lists.

 

Can you give me a tip or guide?

 

I want to rename the folder "catalog" to "store". so that it will appear as www.domain.com/store

 

What is the best way of doing this and the fast way so that all files will read the new folder name "store" rather than "catalog"?

 

Please point me to the right answer.

 

Thank you in advance. :)

rename the directory catalog to store and then in both admin and catalog includes/configure.php files change the paths to be store instead of catalog, however do not change the initial define

 

example

 

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

 

would become

 

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/store/');

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/store/');

 

So are you saying that within both configure files I would need to change anything pertaining to or pointing to the /catalog/ file be changed to /store/, or just the two that you showed?

thanks.

The former not the later I have only shown ONE example of what to do.

 

Yes you will need to change each instance :-"

Can someone list all the files that define that? Or is it just those two files?

Ok. I did this, but for the osCommerce directory. But now I can't log in to my admin. User name and/or pw is incorrect..?? Is there another step?

Hi thre How could I achive this once the configuration files have been deleted?

 

Or even better, is there any way of having the index.php homepage on the top level of my server (mainwebsite_html/)rather than within catalog/

 

My customer has decided to delete his intro page so I need to have everything that originally lived in catalog/ one level up, as mentioned before the configuration file have already been deleted.

 

Many thanks in advance

what you need is an .htaccess file in the root folder.

 

this file will re-direct to your index.php page (or whichever you choose to direct to).

 

here's what i have in my .htaccess file....

 

 

# always add www.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain-name\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain-name.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

DirectoryIndex catalog/index.php
