decolmtd Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 This has probably been asked many times before but I can't find it anywhere. Currently my site is www.forevermemorys.com/catalog..............I want to make it www.forevermemorys.com Do I just move the index page out of the catalog folder to the public htmls folder?

Guest Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Bill, You have to move ALL the catalog files to the root hosting directory and then delete the now empty catalog directory. After which you will edit the two configure.php files to reflect the new path to the store. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move all files in the catalog directory and then edit the configure.php files to the new path. So I do not need a file named catalog after moving the files? I am not very bright when it comes to this stuff. But I have managed to figure things out with your help and that of others on this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so the easy way is to get on a command line in ssh, and in the catalog directory, and type... mv * ../ Then change your configure.php files. If all that was Greek to you (with apologies to any Greek here) then perhaps your hosting company will do it for you. It takes all of 5 seconds. Otherwise, use an FTP program and download all your files making sure the program can automatically switch between ascii and binary, and the list of file extensions to transfer in each mode is correct, then upload to your document root. Finally delete the catalog directory and fix your configure.php files. And if all that was Greek to you, then perhaps your hosting company is your best option.

Guest Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Bill, You have to give yourself some credit. OSC can be overwhelming to work with and I apologize if my explanation is 'over your head' but if you need step by step instructions just ask. We tend to get our heads wrapped around the question and just start typing not knowing what skill level forum members are at. So, if you need it slower, just say so.

MrPhil Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 Even better, leave it where it is (catalog/) and use URL rewriting (.htaccess file) to redirect visitors to www.forevermemorys.com to www.forevermemorys.com/catalog (invisibly, so visitors don't notice it -- code 302). You can change configure.php files to use just forevermemorys.com instead of forevermemorys.com/catalog for the web address. If you leave osC in its own directory, it's cleanly isolated from any other application you install, and also isn't cluttering up your root directory. You're free (in the future) to add you own home page with links to your store and to other applications such as forums or galleries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 It's probably as simple as removing every instance of catalog/ that appears on any line. Some lines will end up with simply / in there and others will still have things like includes/ left in there. Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question.
