Hi all,

 

I own a business called Oz Elec4less. I have got my site up and running but for people to see my shop home page they have to type in www.ozelec4less.com/osc this looks a bit dodgy and people never remember the /osc I have tried to do what another memeber said about changing a file from true to false but it did not work.

 

Please see for yourself go to www.ozelec4less.com and youwill see that it comes up with index and /osc

 

 

please help

A more simplier fix is to just add an html index file with a redirect in the meta tag to the directory.

 

I personally like a javascript redirect as it is easier for me like this.

 

<html>

<head>

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">;
 <!--
 window.location="http://www.yoursite.com/catalog/";
 // -->
 </script>
<title>Welcome to yoursite.com ( or what ever )</title>
</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

 

 

Just change the code above and save it as index.html and add it to the same directory as "ocs"

Yeah, or just put a redirect in from your cpanel if you have a host. Just redirect .... http://www.ozelec4less.com ----> http://www.ozelec4less.com/osc ...........

 

Then when they type in ozelec4less it will automatically go to the osc store. If this doesn't work, then I'd do what starcad said. Make a file and call it index.html. Then on the index.html, just put a redirect so it automatically redirects (in 0 seconds) to your osc site.

if you want spiders to index your site, js redirects are a bad idea.

Basically you should have your shop installed in the root directory of your server then re-directs etc will not be an issue.

 

Move everything out of the osc folder a place them in the root folder, then you should only have to edit the 2 config files and you are sorted. Everyone just need to type your url without any osc and no problems with search engine problems.

 

I would post or invite suggestions as there may be more to it that just editting the 2 config files but I don't think so.
