Guest Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batteryrat Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 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 Vertical Climb watch me loose grip an plumit!!

(I'm not even certain I'm asking the right questions.)Thanks. 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.

Right.Thanks again. Yes. Four places, five if it shows in the define('DIR_FS_CATALOG' line.
