ttt2 Posted December 4, 2003 Posted December 4, 2003 normally the cart is in /catalog/index.php but I want customer to go directly into shopping cart when they access my web. Do I have to make my home page redirect to /catalog/index.php?? I'm also installing the Header Control Tag and Admin for it. Will it conflict with search engines??
gaia Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 If you're using the Apache web server, you can edit the .htaccess file from your cart's main directory. You'd want to add: DirectoryIndex index.php to the .htaccess file. More info can be found here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_d...#directoryindex If you are not using Apache, you will need to find a similar configuration option for your web server.
chfields Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 You can also move all the files from catalog folder to your root folder and make needed adjustment in your config files
gaia Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Heh.. yeah, I didn't think it all the way through.. you need to place the files in your root dir and make sure your web server is configured to pick up index.php as one of the default index files. You can adjust your web server's config files to point to the catalog folder as the root dir if you want, which works well enough.
ttt2 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 cool...thanks I'll try moving all the files to root dir and test it.
ttt2 Posted December 5, 2003 Author Posted December 5, 2003 hum... My web hosting uses Cpanel and there is a redirect option. If I use redirect will that affect the effectiveness of search engines??
netready Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Here is what I did in the .htaccess file DirectoryIndex /catalog/index.php
