Can't find catalog dir

[crookedt]

This is really basic - but I'm also really new.

I'm dilligently going through the mod exercises and get stumped on the 2nd one (changing the size of osc), as I cannot find the /catalog/includes dir. I did find a post about having to change all of the file in the catalog dir for table size.

kinda' hard to advance without getting this mystery dir found.

Much confusion, need a little hand holding to get off the ground.

Could it be that the "catalog" dir is just the dir that the oscommerce files are installed under?

BTW, I've been ftp-ing osc files to my machine, editing in dw mx, and uploading back - can any recommend a more efficient system? don't think that my host allows telnet.

thanks again ct

The instructions make the assumption that your osCommerce is installed it the following path:

/public_html/catalog

If yours is different that that. you will need to extrapolate what the correct path is. For simplicity, you should install osCommerce to match the tutorials default path.

Thnks m - did get that one figured. However, in reference to exercise 2, it seems that there might be more that is not appearing on the site. You made a point (to someone else's query) that they were "missing a big point" in that all files in some dir had to change all of the .php file in the catalog dir, so are we to change every <table width="100%" ...) line in every file? Is there something more specific to look for?
