Guest Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 My company has inherited a website that wasn't that well designed. The current path to the store is https://company.hostingisp.com/giftcertific...foscomm/catalog (the actual URL is even longer than that). I'd like to change that to https://store.company.com or if not that than at least https://company.hostingisp.com/store. I know that getting https://store.company.com would require a dedicated IP address which I'm not sure if my client will want to purchase, so that's why I'm focusing on the second option. How might I go about moving /giftcertificate/nfoscomm/catalog to /store? I doubt it's as simple as moving/copying the files to a new path, so what would I need to setup on the osCommerce side to make the move? Or is moving the store path even possible? Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance Actually it is that simple (with a twist) Move the directory structure (all contents of ..../catalog to /store Edit two files /catalog/includes/configure.php (change all associated paths to the new one) /admin/includes/configure.php (again, change all paths to the new one) All else should work. If you remove the /giftcertificate/nfoscomm/catalog directories, I would place a perm redirect in your .htaccess files from the old to the new My Contributions Henry Smith
OceanRanch Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 Move the source then edit catalog/includes/configure.php to set the revised locations of your files. Tom PS: If you also your admin pages don't forget to change catalog/admin/includes/configure.php
