Path to the store

[pichou2005]

Hello,

 

I have installed my store in the "catalog" folder.

When i want to go in the store i need to use the address www.mywebsitename.com/catalog

 

Is there something to do for being able to go to the store with the address www.mywebsitename.com instead?

 

Maybe the problem is in the "configure.php" files but i don't know how to correct it. If the problem is effectively in these files, whall i need to restart the installation?

 

Here is what i have in the "configure.php" files:

 

/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.mywebsitename.com');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.mywebsitename.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.mywebsitename.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/content/x/x/x/xxxxxxxx/html/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

 

/catalog/includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mywebsitename.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mywebsitename.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL', true);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mywebsitename.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mywebsitename.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

 

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

You could essentially just install it in your root folder, not a separate catalog folder. Honestly it makes it easier to have it the way you have it(because it makes adding contributions difficult at times) my only suggest is to just redirect the link in your hosting cpanel.

 

So if your store link is www.yoursite.com/catalog

 

Redirect www.yoursite.com => www.yoursite.com/catalog

 

so if they type.. www.yoursite.com it will work and just redirect towww.yoursite.com/catalog

 

and...like I said you'll find "Redirects" in your hosting companies cpanel they use.

 

 

 

FOR EXAMPLE..... go to my site www.eleatherline.com and watch how it redirects....

Hello Elnew,

 

Thank you very much for your help.

Using a redirect from cpanel is a good idea but unfortunately, it is not possible because i already have an SSL installed.

 

Maybe can i use .htaccess file to redirect my root? I will check if it's possible....

 

If someone have another idea, please do not hesitate to let me know.

 

Thanks again!

Oh SSL does change things....when does it expire?

[pichou2005]

In 10 months! :(

I recommend a reinstall.

A redirect will have catalog in url.

 

For seo its harmful.

Hello Satish,

 

Thanks for your help.

Since i cannot modify the root to my store because SSL is installed, i will need to reinstall the store in the root "www.mystore.com/" instead of "www.mystore.com/catalog" ?

 

For seo its harmful. What "seo" means?

 

Thanks!

I want to let you know that my problem is fixed. :D

 

 

Summary of the problem:

 

My store was installed in the catalog folder and the SSL already installed prevents a redirect of "www.mystore.com/" to "/ www.mystore.com / catalog"

 

 

Solution:

 

1. Copy the entire contents of the catalog folder at the root of the domain (www.mystore.com/catalog/ *.* to www.mystore.com/)

 

2. Modify the references of "/catalog" to "/" in the 2 following files:

 

/ admin / includes / configure.php

/ includes / configure.php

 

That's it ... And it works great!

 

Note: If you use this solution, please be sure to use a copy of your files at the new location (do not move your files) and rename the folder catalog to make your tests. When you are sure that everything is working well, you can delete the catalog folder.

 

 

Many thanks to the persons who helped me!

What "seo" means?

 

 

 

search engine optimization.
