which is better: use /catalog/ or not

[♥valerif]

hi,

 

i wonder if you can give me advise on: 1) use the www.mydomain.com/catalog/index.php or 2) use www.mydomain.com/index.php

 

i personaly feel more confortable with no catalog directory because i can not understad how the site will be indexed if all of it is positioned in one directory - but perhaps i am wrong

 

answer please considering people like me who are not php gurus but will use alos some contributions in the future too

 

thanks

I have some sites that have html pages along with oscommerce, in this case I put OSC in a directory such as catalog and the html pages are in the domains root. However, if the site is just the OSC store and nothing else, I do not see a need for an OSC directory. If you leave OSC in a directory, make sure you have an index page linking into the store. The search engines will follow your links for indexing.

Just remove references of /catalog/

 

example:

 

Change

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/your/server/path/your-domain.com/httpdocs/catalog/');

 

To

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/your/server/path/your-domain.com/httpdocs/');
