Installing to different directory instead of root...

[7Design]

Hello folks!

 

This is my first post here, so here we go.

 

I would like to install OSC to public_html/staff/store (where "store" will be the contents of the "catalog" folder.

 

What do I need to change to make this work correctly?

 

Thanks!

If this is a fresh install, you only need to upload to your server and change the name of the 'catalog' folder before you begin the install process and it will set up everything correctly for you.

 

If you already have it installed and want to move it, all you need to do is to edit your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files, changing the path settings. For example this is from includes/configure.php:

 

  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

 

In these particular lines of code you would change 'catalog' to 'store' or whatever. Of course assuming you have already moved the osC files into the new folder name. These are not all the changes you need to make however they are all similar and fairly easy to recognize.

 

Be well,

Tina

Thanks, Tina. Yes, this is indeed a fresh install. So, I will do as you advised. I believe I did it like this before, but had a problem with images.

 

ALSO, I definitely want to change the appearance of the cart. Could you advise of how easy (or not) this id to do? Mainly, we want fixed tablewidth at 760 px, and, of course, the colors.

 

Thanks for your QUICK help!
