I used the application install feature built into GoDaddy.  I have a shared account and domain names pointing to internal folders.  The domain name is pointing to a folder called tsworld.  When you browse to tsworld everything looks right.  You click on anything and browse another page in nopcommerce's site everything works fine, but the url is wrong.  Is shows. http://tsworld.biz/tsworld/whatever.  It should just be http://tsworld.biz/whatever.  How do I get rid of that wrong URL?  I know a manual install should fix it, but I think we should fix the auto install too.

I called godaddy and they said it was in a script from nopcommerce and they couldn't do anything about it.  It has to be in there install script, but they are going to fix it.  Anyone have a clue where those settings are stored that display the url that they think it should be?  The folder does not exist that it says it is in, but it works anyway so it is not a real display.  It has to be in the script.

This seems to be controlled by urlrewriting.net.  The website is http://www.urlrewriting.net/ and the files are included in nopcommerce.  I am reading through the manual to learn how to configure it, but I do not know asp.  I have found several files that control it and it appears to be pulling from the root of my space on godaddy even though this was installed and configured into a subdirectory that is already mapped.  You can download the manual from that website on how to configure it, but as of yet I do not have an answer how to make it not show the root from the larger folder and just show it from the subfolder.

I have not gotten an answer yet, but this should be a real good description of the problem:

I used the auto install for nopcommerce.  I installed it into a sub folder on the domain called for example "subfolder".  I have a domain pointed to "subfolder" so it is the root.  Example URL http://dnsname = root/subfolder.

So if you go to dnsname you go straight to the subfolder. I cleared the folder that nopcommerce wanted to install and installed it into dnsname, but the auto install made you choose the folder from your main root so it was dnsname located in root/subfolder.

To help clarify.  If you go to dnsname all files are locate in root/subfolder and there is nothing from the install that I know of in root.  Here is where it gets interesting.

you surf to dnsname and everything looks fine. You are looking at root/subfolder, but all you see is http://dnsname.  You click on anything and browse anywhere on the site and a part of nopcommerce screws everything up.  Not everything shows inside of http://dnsname/subfolder/  from the dnsname pointing to the subfolder already that subfolder does not exist inside of the subfolder.

Example I go to home page for the first time:
http://dnsname/homepage.aspx

I go to product page:
http://dnsname/subfolder/product.aspx (subfolder doesn't exist inside the dns root)

I go back to the homepage:
http://dnsname/subfolder/homepage.aspx (notice the diference from the first home page?)

I know why, but I don't know how to fix it.  Inside of nopcommerce they use a program called urlrewriting.net  It generates the urls to show common names.  It is pulling the root from the main host site instead of the dns root which is a subfolder off of the main host site.  It takes a virtual URL and points it to the real url on the subfolder.  Example once you go anywhere on the site:

URL: http://dnsname/subfolder/product.aspx
Pulls from the root folder for the domain which is the subdomain of the master.  html code would just be like href="file.html"

If you go to a real subfolder in the domain it would look like this:
URL: http://dnsname/subfolder/examples/product.aspx
goes to href="examples/product.aspx"

So I know the problem lies in either how the install relays the root of the domain if it is a subdomain of your hosting account or it is the code inside of urlrewriternet files that are installed that we need to change part of not to pull the full root of the hosted account.  Just the domain root that it is pointed to.

Sorry if that is long, but I think I made it clear.

Thanks Vann
