Adding a new Store Front

[tac_cio]

I was recently upgraded to osCommerce v2.2 RC1. How do I get the index.php to point to the store front that I created? I have been looking in the Knowledge Base, but have not found anything. Any Help is greatly appreciated.

So you created an index.html page that you want to show instead of index.php?

Add this to .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.html

This will tell the server to load index.html as the main page instead of index.php.

Where do I put it in the file?

In your .htaccess file in your main public_html directory

Under which part do I place it?

# $Id: $
#
# This is used with Apache WebServers
#
# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to
# the AllowOverride configuration
#
# Example:
#
# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">
# AllowOverride Options
# </Directory>
#
# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the
# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet
# Explorer browsers

#<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
# <IfDefine SSL>
# SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
# nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
# downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
# </IfDefine>
#</IfModule>

# If Search Engine Friendly URLs do not work, try enabling the
# following Apache configuration parameter

# AcceptPathInfo On

# Fix certain PHP values
# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain
# servers)

# php_value session.use_trans_sid 0
# php_value register_globals 1
