Move the files to the root. More detailed instructions at http://wiki.oscommerce.com

There is a code where you can redirect pages through your meta tags. Now before you go all postal on me and get mad, just take a second to try this out. Here's the code:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;url=http://www.yourpage.com/whatever/">

 

You see where the 5 is? That controls the number of seconds in which your page is being directed. So if you put in 0 then it goes straight there without any delays.

 

This is totally non-java and works really well. I use it myself. TTYL

if i move it then i have to start adding my products all over right? i have to reinstall the oscommerce, right?

Your products have nothing to do with it. They're all stored in the database which won't change.

so all i really need to do is back up the current database, then install a fresh copy to root directory? then reload the database

Hi,

 

All you really need is, after backing up files and database, to move the files and subfolders of your catalog folder to the root. Then make adjustments to configure.php. That's it.

 

Hope it helps.
