Base Path?

[me-writer]

I'm trying to install a cgi shopping cart script. Everything seems to be working EXCEPT when I type in the URL to test the script, I keep getting the error message that there's no such file or directory.

 

In the script instructions, it says to "Enter the BASE PATH to the directory containing your header and footer" and gives this example -- /usr/home/web/foo.com/www/redicart.

 

At first, I tried replacing my domain name for "foo.com" and left everything else as is. This didn't work, so I've tried various combinations without success.

 

I'm positive there's a folder called "redicart" in the base directory and in that folder is the header and footer files.

 

What am I missing? Help????

 

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums, me-writer!

 

I believe your base path should look something like this:

>/home/cpanelName/public_html/redicart

(Replace 'cpanelName' with your actual CPanel user name.)

The base path would be /home/your-cpanel-name/public_html/where-you-installed-the-cart

Thanks to all for the welcome & for your input.

 

Actually, I finally figured it out on my own. This is the path I ended up using:

 

/home/username/public_html/redicart

 

I finally found it in cPanel/File Manager. It was pretty obvious if you know what to look for.

 

Thanks again.
