Need help in using prestashop

[devanasrikanth]

Hi, I am planning to develop a website for my shop and planning to use prestashop. I want to first develop the website in my computer first and then transfer it into hosting servers (I haven't yet bought the domain). In that regard, i have installed MAMP and prestashop onto my local machine. MAMP is installed in /APPLICATIONS/MAMP folder and prestashop folder is in 'Documents' folder. Now, if i have to access the back-office to make changes to the website locally and test it locally, how do i do this. I have checked the documentation and could not find anything regarding this. Is there a way, we can develop and test the website locally before we buy the domain and install it on hosting servers.

It is a simple matter to transfer your local copy at a later date to a selected compatible production hosting environment.

 

When you are ready to upload:

 

ftp your site files

create db on remote site

using phpmyadmin export your local db and then import your local db to remote

copy your existing config/config.inc.php and call it config/config.inc.remote.php

modify config.inc.remote.php to match your remote db name/host/user/pwd and ps directory

upload config.inc.remote.php and then rename it to config.inc.php

navigate to your back office, preferences-->seo urls and change your shop domain name (conical url)

navigate to your front office.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

But i wanted to know how i can test and update my website on my local machine before i transfer to any remote hosting service.

I would like to know, how i can access the back office just on my local machine.

I want to check how my website looks before i transfer any files to hosting servers and buy a domain service.

Please suggest how I can view/edit my website on local machine without any of my files on any remote hosting servers.
