Remove Catalog in the Domain name

[nolan1123]

OK I have installed and everything is working good, except I want my website to read www.mydomainname.com NOT www.mydomainname/catalog.com

 

How do i remove the catalog category without reinstalling and losing all the work I have done??

 

Thanks

Bruce,

 

Using your FTP, download everything onto your computer. Delete everything from your hosting account and upload the store directly into the root (not into the catalog folder).

 

Then, change the configure.php files for the catalog and the admin to reflect the new paths to the site.

OK I have done this but now I have no install page, It looks I have to install again, I did save the code from my main page so no big deal. I uploaded the catalog page to the root on my server but not getting any install page to come up??

 

when I type my domain in i get a page that says...

 

Directory has no index file.

Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.

If you are the site's webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:

 

 

index.html

index.htm

default.htm

Default.htm

home.html

Home.chtml

NOTE: Filenames are case sensitive, i.e., Home.html is not the same as home.html

 

 

Please help

 

Thanks

Could you maybe explain this a little better....I have restored my server using the restore backup option and everything is back to normal.

 

I still need to convert my store from "www.mydomainname/catalog.com" to "www.mydomainname.com" without losing anything I have done so far.

 

Is there a tutorial or maybe some good directions somewhere??

 

Thanks

Wrong.

 

Upload the contents of your catalog folder to the root of your website.

 

After you've done that, change both configure.php files.

 

Here's a quick guide.

 

Look for the following instances in your configure.php files and make the changes for both files.

 

'/catalog/' becomes '/'

 

'/home/content/a/b/c/public_html/catalog/' becomes '/home/content/a/b/c/public_html/'

 

'/catalog/admin/' becomes '/admin/'

Where are the configure.php files?

[nolan1123]

Ok here is what my configure.php file looks like in the includes folder.....what should I change??

 

<?php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.bestprice4uperiod.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.bestprice4uperiod.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.bestprice4uperiod.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.bestprice4uperiod.com');

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

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

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

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

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

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

You really should read the link that's been posted as there's a step by step guide on how to do this, but for example:

 

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

 

becomes:

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

 

 

Do that everywhere you see "catalog".

And you also need to edit your admin/includes/configure.php file.
