short question - Prestashop installation

[Kami123]

Hello,

First off, congratulations for Prestashop, it's a wonderful application.

I am a newbie, my question is simple:

I have installed and configured Prestashop on my localhost server, it works fine.

I registered a domain recently. In order to see my configured Prestashop page on my web server, can I just

upload my local prestashop directory ("folder") or do I have to install Prestashop on the web server and configure it

from scratch ?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. ( I speak French and German)

First, you'll have to do a dump (export) of your local database.

Next, upload your local files on the server and import the saved database.

Then, you may have to modify some values in the /config/settings.inc.php file (shop's base folder, database IDs, ...).

Thanks Zendik for the quick reply,

Can you give me a few details about what exactly i need to modify in /config/settings.inc.php file ?

(or point me towards the solution somewhere in the forum or elsewhere)

Merci,

Kami

The following lines are the ones you may have to change :

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'Your distant DB server name');
define('_DB_NAME_', 'Your distant DB name');
define('_DB_USER_', 'Your distant DB username');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', 'Your distant DB password');
define('__PS_BASE_URI__', 'Your shop's path(1)');

(1) '/' if your shop is in the root folder, '/myshop/' if it is in the /shop folder
