How to change domain path for Home Page.

[danbrouwers]

I have a new install of SquirrelCart Pro v3.1.2 and my files are setup as follows:

Home
.....l_sc_data
.....l_public_html
...............l_sc_images
...............l_squirrelcart
...............l_store.php

Currently customers have to type in "www.example.com/store.php" to go to my home page. But what I want is to type in "www.example.com" to go to my home page.

In my webhost control panel I've tried changing the destination of "www.example.com" from my folder "t-shirtsupply" to the file "t-shirtsupply/store.php", but the file "/store.php" does not show for me to do that only the folders show, such as "sc_images" and "squirrelcart".

What can I do or change so my customers can simply type in "www.example.com" to go to my home page?

I thought I would use "xxx" to hide my website domain so bots would not read them, not thinking about "xxx" linking to anything.

Hopefully an Administrator of this board can edit and remove the ability to link from"xxx".

My apologies, blame it on being a new guy at this forum stuff.

1. Rename store.php to index.php
2. Change $cart_page in your squirrelcart/config.php file as follows:

$cart_page = '/index.php';

No problem. I changed your post to reference example.com instead.

If you ever need to write an example URL, you should always use example.com (or .org, or .net). It was reserved for that purpose and won't ever resolve to someone's website. See the page you get when you try it:
http://www.example.com/

Jamie,

Changing store.php to index.php and making same change to config.php did the trick!

And also thank you for the example.com education.

I appreciate it, Dan Brouwers

Jamie,

After making the changes described above, I tried logging into the Admin CP and I get an "Error 404 - Not Found" message.

The url reads as "http://www.example.com/store.phpindex.php".

What do I change to correct this?

Thanks, Dan Brouwers

Disregard the above post the problem is fixed.

Evidently it takes a few minutes for the files and the DB to sync.

Thanks, Dan Brouwers
