Guest mook25 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ok firstly let me apologise for being blonde at this moment in time! I've got a cubecart store and have been advised to use the server root path for my products rather than the publicly available path. I've been told that, for an example, it would look like this: /usr/local/vhosts/www.domain.com/downloads/download.exe The problem is I'm a bit unsure what I need to change for this to work for me. Is Usr, my cpanel username? Is Local, the ip address of the local host? and what is Vhost? What is supposed to go before /usr? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are using cPanel, then I believe this is what the path should look like: /home/cPanelUserName/public_html/DirectoryYourStoreIsIn/downloads/FileName.zip replace "/cPanelUserName/ " with your cPanel username in between the " / /" do the same with the "/DirectoryYourStoreIsIn/" if your store is in root, the you will do away with that part. I have been up all night, so I may not be very clear... Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go through the order process with a test product to make sure all is well... You don't want any problems once you start getting customers Problems = no sales...
