OK, I've been up all night and I'm about to crash, but I'll give ya some quick help -

GoDaddy for domain names - OK, so-so (used to be better, b4 they started raising their prices for names!)

for web hosting - from what I've heard, not so good.:( Go on a web hosting forum and do a search on them - I was coming across all sorts of horror stories! Yes, they are dirt-cheap on hosting, but you get what you pay for!

Tried to pull-up your homepage - 403 Forbidden Error - ouch!

Your Zen Cart page pulls-up fine, but like you said, it is located in a subdirectory, not the main directory of your site.

403 error likely result of no default homepage page present, and security settings set to prevent viewing directory contents. Easy fix - just upload a homepage for ppl to see when they go to your website, and error should go away!

Try naming it -

index.html

and upload it to your main web directory. Try putting something like the following in it -

HTML: 
<HTML> 
<HEAD> 
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.protalkbox.com/zencart/"> 
</HEAD> 
<BODY> 
<P>
Click <A HREF="http://www.protalkbox.com/zencart/">here</A> to visit my shopping cart, if your browser does not re-direct you in a few seconds.
</BODY> 
</HTML>

The above will automatically cause their browser to immediately re-direct to your shopping cart page, as well as give them a link to click if for some reason that doesn't work.

You can add more and/or change it up later, but at least that will get rid of that nasty error msg and get ppl to your Zen Cart page! ;)

the pretty way...

The prettier way:

New file called ".htaccess" w/o quotes:
Code: 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-f
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_FILENAME) !-d
RewriteCond %(REQUEST_URI) !^/index.php
RewriteRule (.*) index.php

and file named "index.php" w/o quotes:
Code: 
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://protalkbox.com/zencart/");
exit();
?>

I use a variant of this code to simplify my site URLs - removing/adding "www" to the URL at will, and redirecting directories. The .htaccess file is based upon Joomla's SEO, creds to them.

Thanks guys, I got it figured. All i really had to do was create a new " Index.Html " file and the 404 page is no longer there, and i learned how to auto re-direct the page thanks to Seoguy. Thanks for the help !

Holy crap that sucks so. :( How did that happen, don't they give you some warning before that? Think my site auto renews a month or something, not 100% sure though. Gonna go check now actually. :eek:
Click to expand...

They gave me a warning, but did not give me an actual amount of time, And i was making the site so i can sell my products to make money. So yeah.
