Hi Mike Thank for the info. Unfortunately that is the link i used when i originaly started the move. I found it very comprehensive and thought all would go well. And still encountered the problem.

Unfortunately your suggestion about using the UNIX path instead of folder paths did not work. So what i did was a fresh install of PS with a new database. I then downloaded the tables in the SQL database for the original test site and imported it into the new database via MyphpAdmin. This worked and all aspects of the site are up and running. All products loaded and functional. I copied the img folder from the test site to the new domain. However this does not work and only show "image not available" And then for the BIG problem . . . the new site with the updated database is SLOW loading. And i really do mean SLOW. It took about 4 minutes just to load the homepage. What could be causing this?

Ok. I have tried fruitlessly, to sort this out. List of what i have tried: WHAT I DID FIRST I moved prestashop to a new domain on the same server by downloading from the test site then uploading to the new domain. Logged into cPanel, went "PHPMyAdmin" and logged into PrestaShop database. Went to the table "ps_configuration" and located the records for PS_SHOP_DOMAIN and PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL. Changed these to the new domain name. Checked the configuration table for any other entries that contained the old domain name and changed accordingly. Via file manager in cPanel, modifid the PHP file /config/settings.inc.php to define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/'); In PrestaShop admin, re-generated the SEO URLs with the new domain name. Logged iPS admin, then to "tools->generate->generate .htaccess". PROBLEM Front office not displaying correctly. It dropped all the modules except the Featured Products Module. Clicking on the New Products, showed the products but WAY over to the left. Re - instating the default module from PS install worked, but putting it back to custom theme NO modules yet again WHAT I TRIED SECONDLY Unistalled all the modules via the BO then deleted them via the BO. Re-installed all the modules via the BO PROBLEM Somehow, it made it even worse. The modules were still not showing, not even the featured products. Only one module from the custom theme was now showing, but had lost all its custom styling. WHAT I DID THIRDLY Uploaded via FTP all the files and folders from the original test site This was in the hope something went wrong with the first upload. DId exactly the same steps as in the first instance. Uninstalled the custom theme then re-installed it. PROBLEMS The exact same thing as in the first instance No modules showing on the FO in the custom theme. Switched to default theme and all working fine Switch back to custom theme, no modules WHAT I DID LAST Did a new install of PS on another domain. Pointed it to the old database PROBLEM When i point it to the old database no modules Point it to the new database, no problems Please i need help solving this. I need this site moved and cant seem to find the answer or solution anywhere.

Ok. . . so perhaps a new plan of action. If i uninstall the entire prestashop install and do a fresh install of prestashop . . . 1. will it loose the database, if so, how do i point the fresh install to the old database? 2. then install the new theme? 3. then edit (the intension is to copy and paste the already edited theme pages into the fresh theme install) the new theme? So in theory, a complete new install???

I have now uninstalled the theme and re-installed the original theme (before edit version). And still no modules show in the FO????

I have uninstalled, deleted and re-installed all the modules. Still nothing. If anything i think it made matters worse. It now displays the FO even worse.

Ok. So can i delete them in the BO. Or do i need to go the my control panel and delete them there? I have the shop in maintenance mode, so you wont be able to see the url unless i add your ip address. www.alphaofficesupplies.co.za and the theme is clothetheme.

As i said in my first post. . . If i use the default theme that came with prestashop, all works fine on the FO. If i use another modified them, then no modules show on the FO.

Yes, that was one of the first places i went once i moved prestashop. It is pointing at the correct domain name in both tables.

Ok. So i had already done all the things you mentioned above. I have just triple checked each step, and all is in good order. All the url's are correct and the htaccess file regenerated. I have updated the config setting - it was already as you said it should be. Unfortunately even triple doing all of the things, the FO is still not showing correctly. The modules are still missing. The BO is working perfectly however, i can add, edit, delete products, or do anything else on the backend. PLEASE . . . what else can i do to correct this?

Any other suggestions that might help?

It is on the same server at the same host. So i hope i dont have to install it twice?

I am at ends witt. I have moved my prestashop from my test domain to the new domain. I did this by downloading all the prestashop files to my local hard drive, then uploading via FTP to the new domain. I then logged in to BO and updated/changed the Domain Name and Domain Name for SSL. It worked fine, and did not redirect to the test site domain. So alls well there. However, when i go to the FO, all the modules except the Featured Products are not showing. I tried using live edit to see if the modules show up there, to no avail. I then tried to send it back to the test site by editing the Domain Name and Domain Name for SSL to point to the test site - PERFECT. All the modules show on the FO of the test site. But i need it on the new domain, and this does not work. The modules just dont show up and the Featured Products module in the FO is not in the correct place. Please, i have been trying to solve this for 2 day, and have not found any answers. Any help will be appreciated

I am new to prestashop and completely LOVE it. However i am a novic at this and thus get all my help from the forum I installed prestashop on a test site and then installed a new theme. I modified this new theme to suite what i needed and then it was time to move to the new domain. I moved prestashop from the test domain to the new domain on the same server by firstly downloading prestashop from the test site, then uploading via ftp to the new domain. I then logged in to the BO and edited the DOMAIN NAME and DOMAIN NAME FOR SSL. This all works perfectly. I have no issues with the back office, but the front office does not show any modules except the Featured products module. I then went back to the default module that comes with prestashop install and all works fine on the FO, all modules are visible. But then when i go back to my custom theme , no modules yet again on the FO. Please i need help solving this. I have been trying for 2 days now to no avail.

I moved my prestashop site from a text domain to the actual domain. I did this by downloading my prestashop on test domain, then uploading via FTP to the new domain. Then i logged in to BO and edited the "shop domain name" and shop domain name for ssl" This works fine and redirects to the correct domain. So no issues there. However, i have theme installed that i have edited on the test site, and when i view prestashop on the new domain, no modules show in the FO. The BO modules shows all is installed as should be. I have tried reverting to the default module that comes with prestashop and this solves the issue. But the minute i go back to the edited theme, NO MODULES yet again. Please in need to resolve this and have not found any answers in the forums
