Is there anyway to run xcart from the web root? Forwarding to a sub dir is bad for google and allows people to guess which software you are using...

It would be tough, but i think possible

You could try changing the customer directory defintion in top.inc.php
I believe thats the file with it anyway, i haven't looked in a while.

I think all the customer files could function since i believe they either used ./
or xcart_dir."blah blah"

so the includes *shouldn't* screw up
you could always try it and let us know

Where would one find top.inc.php ? I've done a search of the xcart dir and can't find it.

[Mod King]

hmm, what version of x-cart are you running?
with the version i have there's top.inc.php in the root directory.
The same one that has config.php in it

X-Cart version 3.4.6-3.4.7

Oh that is why, I'm running 3.5.7
the file structure changed alot between those two.

I moved all the contents from /customer into the web root and in top.inc.php, I changed

define ('DIR_CUSTOMER', '/customer');

to

define ('DIR_CUSTOMER', '');

Everything seems to work ok right not but there is a slight problem, in /customer there is an index.php and in the root there is an index.php. When I moved the files from /customer to the root, I decided not to replaces the root's index.php with the /customer's index.php.

Should I keep the root index.php or replace it with the customer's php?

Thanks!

Doesn't really matter which index.php you use. The customer one just redirects you to home.php and the root one basically redirects you to .DIR_CUSTOMER."/home.php And since your DIR_CUSTOMER is '' both redirects would take you to the same place having either one of them in the root.

I think this should be the default.

www.domain.com/home.php is the customer front end.

It is quite straightforward. Upload everything in the xcart folder to your root directory.

In config.php change

$xcart_web_dir ="/xcart";

to

$xcart_web_dir ="";

This works for all my sites...

Your customer url is the www.mydomain/index.php and your admin is www.mydomain/admin/index.php
