Moving site from subfolder to root - errors!

Hi,

We have a journal theme website working fine in a subfolder of our domain, (www.victorialinen.co.uk/newstore) but when I try to move it to the root I get the errors below.

I've cleared out the root folder just in case anything was interfering, updated both the config.php and have doubled checked that they are correct but still get these errors, not sure what else to do.

Thanks

Take them one at a time. log.php is running, and attempting to open a file /home/m4ttfallon/public_html/system/logs/openbay.log. Is that path correct? Does the file already exist, but has unwritable (or even, unreadable) permissions? How about the directory it's in -- do you have the appropriate permissions?
This will go away when the previous error is fixed.

As for the other errors, if you're lucky, they'll go away when you fix any path or directory permission problems. If you find such a fix for the first error, don't be surprised if you need to apply a similar fix in other places.

Hi,

Completeley emptied the root folder and started again from scratch. A double check of out htaccess file sorted the problem

By the way, that's the wrong approach. Your store should be left in its own subdirectory (/store or /catalog), rather than being in root. This way, if later you want to add a blog, gallery, or other application, it can go in its own subdirectory and no one will step on anyone else's toes. You will implement a landing page to direct visitors to the appropriate area. While you have only a store, you can do a rewrite in .htaccess to jump visitors from / to /catalog. When you add other applications, and a landing page in /, there will be no change to your links, and customer bookmarks and search engine entries will be unchanged. Your other applications will not have to go through the root application's .htaccess, often breaking them.
