| Can anyone post an example where they relocated the home page two lvl's up to the root? When I did it following the directions closely, I got a 404 error for msg.asp, I then bumped up msg.asp to the root which removed the 404 error, but then the catalog navigation was broken. If I view the home page at the root it shows up, but doesn't work very well. If I view it in the store/pc/ folder it works efficiently. |

Are you using the Generate Navigation feature in the ProductCart Control Panel? If so, you will need to copy the files inc_WholesaleCatMenu.inc and inc_RetailCatMenu.inc to the root. Do so within an HTML editor (e.g. within a Dreamweaver site), so that the links are properly recalculated to account for the different location. ------------- The ProductCart Team Home of ProductCart http://www.productcart.com" rel="nofollow - shopping cart software |

The file http://www.kittenslingerie.com/inc_RetailCatMenu.inc - http://www.kittenslingerie.com/inc_RetailCatMenu.inc cannot be found, which means that you did not take the steps mentioned above. That file needs to be in the root, and it needs to be moved there within an HTML editor to recalculate the links. ------------- The ProductCart Team Home of ProductCart http://www.productcart.com" rel="nofollow - shopping cart software |

But I did update the links in Dreamweaver. Here is a screenshot of IIS to show you it is in the root. http://www.kittenslingerie.com/inc_RetailCatMenu.inc - http://www.kittenslingerie.com/inc_RetailCatMenu.inc Did not show up for me either, but as shown above in IIS it is there. |

| After moving the msg.asp file to your root directory did you update the links in the msg.asp file to point to their correct locations? Specifically the header and footer references, they should point to the header and footer in your root not the once in the ProductCart\pc\ folder. |
