dewaylando Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Hi all, I have installed oscommerce and felt everything was going okay. When I try to see the site with www.mydomain.co.uk it appears with my folders. To actually get to the site, I have to go to www.mydomain.co.uk/catalog How do I correct this issue please? Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 You have to move the site into your public folder and change you configure files. I havent used it but this contribution apparently has all the steps. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ns,3742/page,72 SJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, my control panel won't let me complete the first step - all the others are fine. When I try to save the initial php change, it says a fatal error has occurred or it has timed out (only takes a second for this to come up). Does anyone else have any alternative suggestions?

Thanks, James Are you making the changes with the file manager? From what I hear best not to use it as it can mess up the files. Better to change them localy with a text editor & upload via FTP. There is some good free stuff on the net (crimson editor as text editor & Filezilla for FTP, just google them) SJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewaylando Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi Guys, I now have moved everything to the main directory and it now shows up without the catalog at the end of the URL. Now though, when I click on hardware, software etc it appears with the folowing error message: The requested URL /catalog/index.php/cPath/1 was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. This happened after I completed this: Step 3.This modification changes the navigation breadcrumbs to do away with the normal "Top" link which becomes useless with the store in the root. Open /catalog/includes/application_top.php Find this code approximately at line 462. // include the breadcrumb class and start the breadcrumb trail require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'breadcrumb.php'); $breadcrumb = new breadcrumb; $breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_TOP, HTTP_SERVER); $breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)); Comment out one line so it looks like this: // include the breadcrumb class and start the breadcrumb trail require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'breadcrumb.php'); $breadcrumb = new breadcrumb; //$breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_TOP, HTTP_SERVER); $breadcrumb->add(HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG, tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT)); I then changed it back, but it is still happening. Any ideas? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 In your Admin, set 'Use Search-Engine Safe URLs (still in development)' to false. Save it. Sometimes you have to set 'Use Cache' to false to see any change. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

dewaylando Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi Germ, Worked a treat, thanks very much. I also had to set 'Use Cache' to fasle to see the change. Are there any negative effects of having the cache not present? Thanks, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
