    Default HOST URL change

    Problem:

    When I type www.burrellcards.com it looks very messy because it cannot find files/folders needed to populate the site.

    What I did to cause this:

    I changed the following setting with my HOST provider on the domain name www.burrellcards.com:

    From:

    Destination As a home directory : /.

    To:

    Destination As a home directory : /catalog

    I was hoping to be able to get to my site without having to type the /catalog at the end.

    I changed it back but obviously something else has changed to not allow me to access the sight via www.burrellcards.com/catalog.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for the help but it appears that I have done other than that to create my problems.

    Again ... Thank you.

    Ether install/copy all file from catalog into your ROOT directory and run the install (no DB import needed if you have done that already) or edit BOTH configure.php files

    Thus:
    www.your_site.com

    Instead of:
    www.your_site.com/catalog

    Where every you enter:
    "/catalog" - put "/"
    "catalog/" - put "/"
    "catalog" - put nothing (blank)

    OR use the HTACCESS to redirect....

    OR use HTML - Make a small index.html file with the following:-
    Code:
     <SCRIPT>
    location="http://www.your_server.com/catalog"
     </SCRIPT>
    Whenever somebody types in www.your_server.com they get automatically diverted to www.your_server.com/catalog
