Hi all,
Been pulling my hair out all morning on this.
I am trying to accomplish two main things, 1) to remove the reference to "acatalog" within my website and 2) have my catalog home page as the landing page for the site.
With regards to the second issue, I have previously been doing this via a .htaccess file and that has worked fine - but will I still require this if I remove the "acatalog" directory???
Back to point 1!
I have been reading the advice given on the following link:
http://community.actinic.com/showthr...oto=nextnewest
Firstly I contacted my hosts (namesco) to see if they could treat the /acatalog directory as my 'root' but they have told me this is not possible.
So this morning, I have gone through the ActinicCatalog.mdb file (specifically the setup2 table) and removed the references of "acatlog" where I could find them ("CGI to webpath", "FTP to webpath", "SLastUploadDir" and "SCatalogURL").
This seemed to work at first but then I realised that the links to checkout were not functioning - which I think was because the link to the CGI-BIN was invalid, having tried to correct this I seem to have ended up back at the beginning, with acatalog back in place etc!!!
Can anyone possibly tell me exactly what I need to do to remove the "acatalog" directory from the URL? Is there something I need to change in the settings within Actinic itself??
And so my essay finishes....
Many many thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
Greg.
