[Solved] Where to upload the /prestashop folder


Recommended Posts

Good morning,

I am trying to upload the unzipped PrestaShop files, but I have some doubts about where to put them.

Yesterday, I ordered a hosting account with a hosting provider, so my domain has not yet been propagated I was told that it could take up to 72 h). However, my hosting provider has given me a temporary url till mine is active.

PretaShop manual says:

Upload the contents (but not the folder itself) of the /prestashop folder to the root directory (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/) of your hosting server via FTP. You can also upload the files to a subdomain or a subdirectory you’ve created (e.g., http://www.mysite.com/prestashop/) if you wish to keep your root homepage separate


When I get into the file structure of my account through the "cPanel File Manager" I get the file structure that I am attaching as a jpg file.

I guess, I have to create a PretaShop folder where to upload the unzziped /prestashop folder. Is that correct?

But I don't know what is the best place to place the PretaShop folder, so that later on I can installed PretaShop without problems.

Should the PretaShop folder be under /home/fitokosm?

Should the PretaShop folder be under /home/fitokosm/public_html?

Should the PretaShop folder be under /home/fitokosm/www?

By the way, I have already created a database and a database user for PretaShop, as per PretaShop manual instructions.

Thanks,

José
