rdub Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 I want visitors to go directly to the shopping cart, not a landing or welcome page. What is the best way to do this? Can I install directly to the main folder rather than "catalog"?
♥toyicebear Posted August 14, 2011 Posted August 14, 2011 Yes, you can install it directly in the root/main folder.

rdub Posted August 14, 2011 Author Posted August 14, 2011 That is what I thought I had done. Where do I look for the installation folder?
MrPhil Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 You will be far better off in the long run keeping your cart in a subdirectory. That way you can add other applications (forum, blog, gallery, etc.) without each one stepping on the other. Use .htaccess (if on an Apache server) to redirect those coming into the bare domain name to your store: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(/)?$ /store/index.php Configure your store to use the subdirectory name (e.g., mysite.com/store/index.php). In the future, you can remove this rewrite and add a landing page with links to your store and other applications, and no one's saved links should break. They should already be of the form http://mysite.com/store/...
