I need help on how to make the oscommerce shop as my homepage.

 

My site is currently www.mydomain.com/catalog and I wish to move the whole site to just www.mydomain.com (without the /catalog part).

 

Are the following steps correct?

 

1. Log in to WS_FTP Pro. (Thats the FTP program that I was given). For uploading/downloading, should I choose "Auto" or "ASCII" or "Binary".

 

2. Then click on every folder and file within "Remote System" and transfer them to a BACKUP folder on the "Local System".

 

3. Then delete EVERYTHING in the "Remote System".

 

4. Then click on the BACKUP folder on "Local System", locate the folders and files within "/catalog" and transfer to "/d:/mydomain" (NOT "/d:/mydomain/catalog") on "Remote System".

 

5. Go to www.mydomain.com/admin/includes/configure.php and edit the code to:

 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.com/'); // must have the / at the end

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '../'); // MUST have the ../ here

 

6. Anything else that I must do? Any other files to edit?

 

Sorry if my questions are very long-winded...I'm new to oscommerce so I really need a detailed guide on this...

 

Would appreciate any kind assistance...

 

Many thanks,

J.

These steps are correct, choose auto mode for file transfer.
