Currently my website has to be re directed.
to go to my website you have to type in
w w w.protalkbox.com/zencart

I want it so all i have to type in is
w w w.protalkbox.com, and it automatically goes to the website without needing a re-direct screen like the current one i have now


Any help will be appreciated.

Create a blank page www.protalkbox .com that redirects it to the one with /zencart. Or add a link to it like "Home, enter website".

Do a google search on how to create an index.html, you'll get your answer.

I suggested this before but I'll say it again:
create a file called index.php at / (in the root directory of the server) - so that it is http://www.protalkbox.com/index.php

Into index.php put the following:

<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.protalkbox.com/zencart/" );
?>

you should also change the name of your zencart directory(not necassary) but if your using the /admin/ folder for your log in you should definately rename it to something else. theres a tut on the zc website on how to change it.

Glad to hear it worked. Ndrew is right - rename your admin folder if you haven't!, and you should also make sure you're running the latest version with security patches. The combination of the 2 means your site would be vulnerable to some really nasty hacks...
