Your story is not realy easy to understand (why not post a link to your real site?). Maybe a clean install in the right location will solve your problem the quickest (you can backup your database first and after the clean install restore it with the rest of your files). If you did not implemented any contri's or filled your database you do not need to backup anything.

You can change the url to what you want there. Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh?

Oh yeah You will also have to change the permissions to 666 on this page to upload it and then back to 444 after to avoid it being hijacked. Backup before making changes.

♥Vger Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Download the includes/configure.php file via FTP and edit it in a plain text editor like Notepad. You only need to change a few entries (ignore the https entries if you don't use ssl) define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/var/www/html/); //edit as necessary for your website In admin/includes/configure.php you'll find one entry for DIR_WS_CATALOG which you need to change to '/' and one entry for DIR_WS_ADMIN which you need to change to '/admin/' Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 where my store is only accessible to www.masterlockstore.com/catalog when i want it to be www.masterlockstore.com You have to move the entire contents of the 'catalog' folder to the root of your web and then edit the two configure.php files.

sweetafton Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 i am using web server host.the root server you said is it means i ftp to just under the home folder which is before the public_html and ftp_html. what i have in my server is home.under home is public_html and ftp_html.i ftp to public_html .so looks like i ftp to the wrong place.is it right. thank you.

rollininoh Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 ok, first off thanks vger, seems to have worked great for me, i moved the files to my webroot, and changed both config files, and the page seems to work great. I get a strange error on some screens of admin tho, Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /home/httpd/vhosts/masterlockstore.com/httpdocs/catalog/images/ which file specifies the images directory? is it both configs again?

The root of your webserver would be wherever your original index.html file was. in my case it was the httpdocs folder. So i cut all the files in the catalog folder, and pasted them into httpdocs. Changed the 2 configure files and it works now. most webhosts create a defualt index.html file for your new pages. so wherever that is is where u put the catalog contents :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murray_simon Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi there, I have a similiar but slightly different problem and I don't want to do anything until I am sure... Currently my site address is: http://www.cmm.com.au/osc6/ but I want to change the directory name from osc6 to http://www.cmm.com.au/drug-testing - any ideas??? The reason is because I am setting up 4 sub domains and this is the first, however I didn't know anything about osc before I started and now I realise I need to rename the folder but my fear is that if I do that I will wreck links throughout the site?? Can someone please help?? Another slightly related issue... I might be stretching my luck here, but what the hell - nothing ventured, nothing gained.... I have & will continue to search, but have been looking for hours and cannot find an answer... - does anyone know how to link the 'home' button at http://www.cmm.com.au/osc6 (I have a site in which I have installed osc6 as a sub domain) back to the 'main'site at http://www.cmm.com.au/ ? Thank you if you can.. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to do this without moving the files? I thought you could redirect via htaccess file? Just checking... I'm sure there are plusses and minuses to both ways... --JH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
