newbie needs help

Ok I know I am missing something obvious here, but when I run the install program everything goes along just fine until I notice that the program is putting calling for a strange directory structure:

 

/home/user_name/public_html/... (user_name being my database_username, which is 'jeffrey') despite the fact that I tell it that the file structure should be /catalog/

 

So, instead of fighting it, I created directories /home/user_name/public_html/catalog (and so on) but then it makes the directory /home/user_name/public_html/home/user_name/public_html/catalog (and so on) so there seems to be no way out of this. I can't find where the directory structure is coming from. The default setting in the previous setup screen defaults to /home/user_name/public_html so I changed it - but it didn't change.

 

What is it I need to do? I wanted to import the sample databade "oscommerce.sql" and see how this thing works before I built my own but I am not getting what's up with this setup.

 

Here's the error message:

 

osCommerce Configuration

The configuration was successful!

 

yeah right.

 

Thanks a million.

In the installation your www address is just http://www.yourdomain.com

 

The webserver root directory is /home/jeffrey/public_html/

 

The http cookie domain is www.yourdomain.com

 

the http cookie path is just /

 

If you still get the error of doubling the file pathway then leave the webserver root directory blank.
