Moving index.php out of catalog/

[misohoni]

I understand that I need to change the "configure" files in order to move the site out of the pre-configured catalog/ directory.

 

However, ., There are many directories in catalog/ I don't want to move them into my root folder. Is there anyway I can keep the files and folders in that directory and only have index.php outside in the root?

Is this possible?

 

Question, what are you trying to do?

If you just want people browsing to your root to find your site. You can leave index.php in catalog and put a redirect in your root.

 

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"

CONTENT="0; URL=catalog/index.php">

 

works for me.

Using meta refresh tags will get you heavily punished by search engines.

 

The best option is to move all files/folders to the root.

Do you mean in essence the /catalog/ folder becomes the root, with all other folders staying the same?

 

Changes only to catalog/configure.php or catalog/admin/configure.php as well?

 

Thanks

I am also wondering how to do this. If anyone can go into more detail it would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind I just noticed there are a million posts on this. Just move all you files from catalog out into your root. Edit the configure files, includes/configure and admin/includes/configure and thats it.

yes, possible. try to post your configure file. remove db section.

Not possible - you need to move all of the files/folders in the 'catalog' folder down into the root of your web. You then edit both configure.php files and just remove the catalog/ entries

When removing the catalog/entries, how do I edit lines with just the "catalog/" and no "entries"? Such as the fallowing:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

 

Or do I need to do anything to them at all?

I think I figured it out, correct me if Im wrong; but if anyone else has problems with this the solution is:

 

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/'); // absolute path required

Will this make the index.php page now the home page and relace the index.html page?
