hello
look at where it is installed
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html/catalog
so you need to go to
http://your-server/store/catalog note the location
store is the ibay
the html folder is normal
then the catalog folder is in the html folder
try this osCommerce it is for version 6 and above of sme
http://www.eelriver.com/sme/e-smith-osCommerce-sme6x-2.0-04.noarch.rpm
it installs to
http://your-server/catalog
hope this helps

gbaird thanks for the reply
Your right it is installed at
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html/catalog
and if you goto to catalog dir then it finds index.php.
The problem I'm having is that when I goto www.domain.com without /catalog qualifying the url
I get dumped at
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html
and not
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html/catalog
My registrar is pionting to an IP address
which pionts to my www.domain.com
It is not forwarded like this
www.domain.com/catalog
I think I have to change the httpd.conf for the ibay
so it points to
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html/catalog
not
/home/e-smith/files/ibays/store/html
like it is.
I hope explained it a little better.
I think I have to change a template and I'm not sure just howto at this point.
Also sorry for posting the previous post three times
I kept clicking on reply instead of new post.
Thanks for the help

hello
you have a couple of ways to fix it
1 make a lead-in page at www.domain.com tell people what a nice guy you are and a link to your store from there
2 change your apache web server config file to redirect people to your store
the # 1 way is easy and you can put a little info about you or your store there
3 you can also set your primary website to go to an ibay
look at the domain setup screen for domain.com and you can simply change store ibay in the content boxjavascript:emoticon(':idea:')
# 3 is the easiest fix
hope this helps

Yea I thought about those to but would like to have it point right at the store ibay. :-)
Is there something that makes this change a bad idea? :roll:

Hello
You will not get your dns to point to the store folder
they only setup domain hostnames
domain.com or www.domain.com or ftp.domain.com
your best bet is to use the content link in the server-manager
domain page there is nothing wrong with that no loss of performance or anything
my domain eelriver.com & eelriver-networks use this method
sme has no virtual directory setup like iis you would have to hand hack the apache templates
last option
you can move all the store files to your Primary/html folder and edit the osCommerce config files or just do a new install in that folder LOT EASIER TO JUST USE THE CONTENT BOX TO MAKE THE POINT TO THE STORE IBAY
hope this clears up your dns thoughts

What I did was to move OSC up one directory and
take catalog out of it. Then reset the config's.
There was info on the inet that showed howto.
From what I have read OSC can locate just about anywhere you want.
On a sme box /ibay/html seems to be a better place
to park it.
So far it's working and haven't had a problem.
Thanks for all your help

Yea that's the problem, the content link doesn't
allow you to sellect a directory, it just select's
/ibay/content/html
and not
/ibay/content/html/catalog
/ibay/content/html/index.php is where the sme domain is pointing to and OSC is at
/ibay/content/html/catalog/index.php
I wanted to change the sme domain to point to
/ibay/content/html/catalog/index.php
which is what is needed if the registra is pointing at
your IP address and not using a URL redirect.
I just didn't know how to change it.
If someone know's howto that would be great!
Have a good day......
