Installation

I was able to install cubecart successfully using fantancio in the /store directory. My problem I notice is if I use www.mystore.com it does not come up in ie or ff. But I use www.mystore.com/store is works in either browser. What do I have do to to correct this? Also should I have installed cubecart in the root directory instead of /store directory.

Thanks,

Sergio ;)

You have really answered your own question. If you want the store to be your landing page, then it indeed needs to be at the root level of your html directory. When you move the CC files there, you'll just need to adjust your global.inc.php file to reflect the new paths.

May i suggest another approach?

If you already are setup in /store, and you just don't want to change things...you can build a simple "index.html" for the site root, and use a url forwarding routine:

<html>

<head>

<title>your store name</title>

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH"

content="0;url=http://www.your_site.com/store">

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

I use this on a site. Notice the content="0";url.... line. If you want to make this html file a welcome page to greet the new user, just add some content, and change the "0" to another number. This is the amount of time before the auto redirect executes - in seconds. Leaving this set to "0" means it will immediately go to the store.

Look at www.bakery1.com, They are set up this way.

Since I have not done much to the site I went ahead and reloaded cubecart to the root directory. I appreciate the help all.
