Moved to root, had to move back

[Guest]

Hi,

 

I posted last week after moving my store to the root.

I all went swimmingly except I was finding 'page not found' errors in the admin area (the files were in the right place).

 

My host said dont do it, I did it anyway, I told him it didnt work, he said I shouldnt have done it etc etc and frankly wouldnt help, said I should use the following

<%

Response.redirect "/catalog/"

%>

 

His last word was.

Sessions and security kicking in, this is why I said not to move things! My

3 line script could have solved all this hassle!

It is not really the answer I am looking for, is this accceptable?

Should moving the store really be a hassle, should he be able to easily sort this?

 

Any input appreciated.

moving a store from catalog to root takes the time of downloading it to local, editing the config files (5 min), reuploading and protecting the admin. There should NOT be any issues. I've done it a gazillion times. That host makes me MAD!!!
