Hi all

 

Where is the best place to install osCommerce? Is there any benefit to installing as 'catalog' sot that the web address is mywebsitename.com/catalog, or is it better to install directly into the root to get just mywesitename.com ?? And will having and SSL certificate have an impact on choice?

Hi,

 

Go for the root.

 

Thanks

Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.

Thanks very much for the quick reply :)

 

Could you give a little detail as to why the root is better?

Hi,

 

Because unless you have other things on your domain in the root, there is no need to install to a directory called catalogue.

 

In my view it keeps it cleaner and simpler if osc uses the root (ie public_html)

 

Im sure someone will give technical reasons for or against the root.

 

Thanks
