Where to install Prestashop

[PBraz]

I have installed Prestashop in a subdirectory from the root to keep it seperate from my current cart software (not Prestashop but I am looking at a move).

 

Do I have to move it to the root directory when I go live with the shop ?

 

Can I keep it in the subdirectory and do some sort of redirect to where Prestashop is installed or will that not work or impact my search engine optimisation ?

 

Thanks

Hi PBraz,

 

In my opinion it is indeed best and easier to move it to the root directory if you want your store to be visible when a user visits http://www.yoursite.com
