Changing Base URL in 1.5.1

[Lachlan]

Hi all,

 

Just thought this problem should be solved incase anyone else has this issue.

 

I was trying to set my shop up on a subdomain (shop.mydomain.com) rather than what it was at the time (www.mydomain.com/shop).

 

Unfortunately I tried changing 'Base URL' in the back office to try to accomplish this. As a result I could no longer access my shop. I tried using FTP to change the settings.inc file, though the 'base_url' section seems to have been removed in 1.5.1 (this seems to have worked for older versions).

 

I then tried to find the base url in my database, but even though I'd read where to find it in the database, no luck.

 

I am now reinstalling my shop since it fortunately wasn't live. If it was however, I would be clueless in what to do to fix it. Surely there is a simple 1 step solution since I only changed ONE setting.

 

Please post the most succinct answer to solve this problem:)

change also in the htaccess

Hello and thank you for the message. If you could, please back up your store, and then toggle Friendly URL off and On to force a regeneration of the htaccess. This may solve the problem.

Thanks for the comments guys. I simply reinstalled prestashop on the new subdomain. There is probably a much simpler way to do it but I had to do it quickly

Hi,

 

I have a similar issue. My subdomain is working fine except when I toggled Friendly URL on, now I am having a 403 Forbidden error (no permission) plus 404 not found.

 

I´d appreciate any help.

hey

after some struggling with it, i just found out at version 1.5 this BASE_URL set at the database._shop_url table.
