Title: Make my Cart my homepage! My domain host can't do it and said to ask AbanteCart!
Post by: jmcnell on July 24, 2019, 11:22:29 AM
So when I installed AbanteCart cart it uploads as my mcnells.com and you would have to click to the file AbanteCart.

I want obviously mcnells.com to go directly to my homepage. Here is what my domain support said.

QuoteI would recommend contacting AbanteCart support and asking what changes need to be made when moving the directory/url. I have looked at the various settings but cannot see the option.

Kind regards,
George

Nope. Still nothing. If I change the address back to http: I will not be able to use my merchant for checkout. I'm pretty sure that is what is going on here. This didn't start till I had my page redirect to https://....

ughh

here's some things to check to see if they are correctly configured:
1/  Do you have a active, validated SSL cert?  Most host provide a basis level free.
2/  If, when you have an SSL change your System > Settings > Store Details  Store URL  AND Store SSL URL to https://xxxxxx
3/ If using SEO  -   System > Settings > system    Use SEO's be sure you have changed your htaccess associated with your AbanteCart installation from .htacess.txt
  to .htaccess.   (note the trailing dot should remain)

4/ If you installation of AbanteCart is in a subfolder -  besure to add then into the .htaccess.  file  - instructions are with in the file.
5/  Depending on your server configuration you may or may not need to have a cPanel redirect set.


See if any of these things give you a help.  It is important that you have everything configured properly
