Change of path names
Hi:\ \ I would like to change the path names. For instance http://sitename.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi to http://sitename.com/cgi-bin/goods/stuff.cgi\ I noticed you cannot simply do this by renaming the server directory names followed by changing the paths and directories in Admin>Configuration. How do I go about doing it and perhaps what files do I have to change?\ \ Best,\ \ sabachi

Re: Change of path names

To change the file names *.cgi, you can rename as you like but edit the file StartUp.pm, you will find the file names part like this:

Main_Prog=auction.cgi
Admin_Prog=admin.cgi
Banner_Ads_Prog=ads.cgi
Banner_Click_Prog=adclick.cgi
Banner_Stats_Prog=AdStats.cgi
Banner_Admin_Prog=AdsAdmin.cgi
Auto_Process_Prog=AutoProcess.cgi

make the same as you renamed.

The second part of the question is renaming the directories can be done as follows,

go to your admin-> configuration, then rename the directory in the path and URLs for all its occurrences, then click save, now you saved the changes to the SysConfig.pm, using your FTP program rename the directory.

The other way to rename the directories is to edit the file SysConfig.pm manually and edit the CGI_Dir, CGI_URL, HTML_Dir, HTML_URL then rename the directory.
