If someone who has their store installed in their root NOT /catalog/ would read this...

[Guest]

Please copy & paste both your configure.php files so I can see what I am doing wrong. Obviously put bogus info in there to keep your stuff private, but I am going nuts trying to figure out what my problem is.

 

My webhost automatically installed oscommerce for me into a database I created, but it put everything in their default location. I want my store to be located at http://www.mysite.com....not http://www.mysite.com/catalog/, so I removed all traces of /catalog/ in the configure files. It did not work. I've attempted http://www.mysite.com, http://www.mysite.com/, /, ../ - none work. All my links and images are broken because they are attempting to reach mysite.com/catalog/.

 

I copied and pasted everything from the catalog directory into my root folder and then deleted the catalog folder. I am clueless. Other than this stupid problem I'm not experiencing any other error messages.

 

So if someone who successfully has their store running from http://www.yoursite.com would kindly copy/paste your configure.php files for me I would greatly appreciate it so I can compare notes.

 

Thank you.

Two reasons why it may still be trying to go to /catalog/.

 

First, go in your Admin and set "Use Cache" to false.

 

Save it.

 

If that doesn't help, look for this file:

 

/includes/local/configure.php

 

If this file is present (it may not be, and that's OK) be sure the settings in it are correct.

 

osC will use settings from this file if present.
