PS3 Link Assumed Root Issue

Hi. I'm having a problem with the link structure that is being produced by PS3. My store is installed in a subfolder on the server, but is defined as the root for the domain using .htaccess rewrites.

The links should read as "www.boomco.com/Products_Detail.php..." but include the subfolder name, ie "www.boomco.com/store_ps3/Products_Detail.php..."

I'm assuming that this has to do with how PS3 sets the root for the site.
What do I need to do to change this behavior?

The site can be reached at www.boomco.com. It is set up to use https by default, if that matters.

Thanks.

in the powerstore database look in the wa_settings table.

Make sure the root url is set to:
www.boomco.com

and the Local and Remote root should be set to:
/

Thanks for taking a look. I successfully changed the Root URL to www.boomco.com. However, when I changed the Local Root to "/" the site errors out with the following message:

Warning: require_once(../Connections/PowerStoreConnection.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in .../public_html/store_ps3/CSSMenuWriter/cssmw_home/menu.php on line 23

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../Connections/PowerStoreConnection.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php') in .../public_html/store_ps3/CSSMenuWriter/cssmw_home/menu.php on line 23

Any ideas? If the information helps, we're moving the store from a subdomain (store.boomco.com) where it was originally installed, to the master domain of boomco.com.

sorry, the root url needs the trailing slash at the end:
www.boomco.com/

Tried it with the trailing "/", gave the same error.

this seam to be more of an issue with the htaccess.




if i try to go to:
www.boomco.com/

it automatically redirects me to:
store_ps3/

this is before I even click on any of the links, so the links are not the issue.

Ok. My HTTPS rewrite rule was causing it to go to boomco.com/store_ps3/

I've taken care of that, but changing the Local Root to "/" still gives the same errors.

well, since the real locations of the filesare in the /store_ps3/ directory, you need to set that in the root url.

I've tried to set the root url to"http:www.boomco.com/store_ps3/", but I still get the same error when I set the local root to "/".

Incidently, the site works whether the root url is set to "boomco.com" or "boomco.com/store_ps3/". But the links generated by the site still expose the underlying folder structure ("www.boomco.com/store_ps3/page..." instead of "www.boomco.com/page...")

I've tried a number of combinations with the root url, local root, and remote root settings, and nothing is working. Is there something I'm missing about hosting PowerStore in a subfolder, mapped to the main domain?

the only way for the links to work and not show the subfolder is to move the store out of the subfolder


the links must point to the subfolder if that is where he files are.
