amanuensis Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, I have an old OSCommerce site on my domain www.ocg-arts.com and I am wanting to move from the old server that the OScommerce site is on, to my new dedicated server, but this time build from scratch a new shopping cart, Prestashop.My question is this, I don't want my cart on the old server to go until I have built up the new Presatshop cart on the new server, I have purchased ocg-arts.co.uk to use for the new site so I can get Prestashop up and running, and when I have completed the work I will then change the name of my Prestashop site on ocg-art.co.uk to ocgarts.com via Plesk and point the DNS there too, will I have to amend any of Prestashop code for it to work?I can't think of how to keep the old site live while building the new and wanting to finally use the same domain as the old site on the new server.Maybe there is a way and I just can't see it.Any suggestions as to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLNZ Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Leave the existing cart running on its server and build your new shop on the new server. Use no follow robot text files to stop premature indexing and also the maintenance mode on the new site.When all is working launch new site and redirect old url to new one, keeping old server running for a while.
