osCommerce

The e-commerce.

Moving OSCommerce


Guest

Recommended Posts

I'm new at this and have look around to try find an answer, but simply can't. I've installed OSCommerce on a website under /catalog. The site opens to a home page generated by an index.htm. How do I change the site to have open directly into OSCommerce? What files need to be moved? Reconfigured? (I'm not even certain I'm asking the right questions.)

Thanks.

the best thing i found is to rename the catalog dir to the users web name this saves on long an extensve path names in the config.

 

then install it online if you have already installed it on your local pc just do a backup in admin and upload an restore online

It's simple.

 

Just move all the files in the catalog folder up one level (to root) You'll need to change two files, includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php to edit '/catalog/' to simply '/'.

Thanks for the info. I just had a chance to look at those files. Presumably you mean ALL references to /catalog/ be changed to /? Right.

Thanks again.

Yes. Four places, five if it shows in the

 

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG' line.
