FTP Directory listing

Jim (Admin),

To make a long story short, my client had my colleagues and I completely overhaul her website and make a new one.

Right now, I have an index file located in the root, www/htdocs/ directory, that auto-redirects customers elsewhere away from www.mulberrystreetgifts.com while we work.

NOW we are ready. But all of the www.mulberrystreetgifts.com's files are located in the www/htdocs/store directory, which, as I understand, is the only location where the site will work correctly with Shopsite?

Can I move my site up to the root, www/htdocs now at this point without breaking the shopping cart etc.?

jon

p.s. I may have mentioned already, but if you go to http://www.mulberrystreetgifts.com/store you'll bypass the redirect and see our final web site.

p.p.s I guess another way of viewing the problem is,
customers shouldn't have to go to www.mulberrystreetgifts.com/store,
but www.mulberrystreetgifts.com to see the site. BUT when I delete the index.html which contains the meta-redirect, I see the file structure.

p.p.p.s. Maybe I have totally confused you?

This is how your host has installed your store. If you want it in your root directory instead of /store you would have to contact them. Have them make a new authorization file without the /store in the url. Then they would have to move your media directory up to the root of the domain and they would have to reconfigure your <storeid>.aa file to point to the new directories. Once this is all done you would need to go to the images screen and reset attributes on all images. You would also need to republish your store so the files go in the correct directory.

So please contact your host if that is what you want done.
