If all you put up was a blank page as index.htm, then that is probably what you are seeing in your browser. You need to put some content on the page or have it redirect to your catalog index page.

So, the code for the cart is actually in a sub-directory called CATALOG. What if I want to have the default.php page displayed as my default when someone enters my website? I can rename default.php to index.php and tweak htaccess to look there but where is this most-common of procedures documented? I've just started looking at OSCOMMERCE and hope the international team spends one week writing basic documentation on configuring the tool. Would become wildly popular if I didn't have to delve into the code for a week to figure out the basics...

One way you can do this is to copy the default.php file and rename the copied file index.php. Or, if you have the access priviledges, you can go into apache configuration file and add default.php so it opens on entry to a folder.

 

copying the file and renaming works just as well

Or you can add this code to your index.htm page (thats what I did)

 

<script language='JavaScript'>



<!--

 window.location = 'http://*location of the redirect*'

//-->



</script>

 

You can find an example here --> www.gamerevolution.co.nz (redirects you to my catalog folder)

 

Hope it helps :)
