This manual explains how to prepare and configure your osCommerce website when moving it live to the root directory.


Note: These instructions apply only if your osCommerce installation is located in the root folder. If it is installed in a subfolder, you must either move it to the root or adjust your web server configuration to treat that subfolder as the root.


1) Update the frontend URL

Change the URL settings for the frontend to reflect your live domain.

2) Update the admin configuration file

Go to admin/includes/local/configure.php and update the relevant values.


3) Adjust URL and directory paths

Update the following constants to match your live domain and folder structure:

  • HTTP_SERVER
  • HTTPS_SERVER

Then update the paths for:

  • DIR_WS_ADMIN
  • DIR_WS_CATALOG

Ensure all paths correctly point to the root environment.


4) Flush all cache

Clear all cached data to ensure the live website loads fresh and fully updated information.

By completing these steps, your osCommerce website will be correctly configured for live operation in the root directory.
