midrik Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 HelloSo my shop in installed on a URL like this: www.domain.com/ps2/prestashopI want to change it to www.domain.comSo my question is:Is there anything I should watch out for.. anything I can mess up if I move it to the root of the domain?I have done this with Joomla, just edit configuration.php, move files and its done. Is it similar with prestashop?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu583 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 honestly it couldnt be easier. All you need to do is:-1. Log into your BO2. Go to Preferences3. The very first option displayed is "PS directory:" yours will probably be "ps2/prestashop"4. removed everything except for a forward slash. 5. Save6. Via FTP move all the files and folders to root.Bish Bang you are done.I have done this many times with no issues.Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu583 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Oh and no there is nothing I have ever experienced where things have messed up. All has gone 100% to plan when I have done it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Tol Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Thank you ! For me it was also necessary to remove index.htm(l) in the root directory >> otherwise you have both index.php & index.htm/index.html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi, I have tried the following method to move my shop from one subfolder to another but it failed with the latest version of Prestashop 1.4.1.0.1. Changed the name of folder from /prestashop/ to /presta/ using FTP on my server2. Admin/Preferences/SEO & URL/PS Directory - change from /prestashop/ to /presta/3. Admin/Tools/Generators/Generate .htaccess fileI was doing this as a test because if it worked then I would be able to move the finished shop to the root folder when ready to go live so there is minimal down time on existing website.Does anyone know how to do it?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
