Adding New Domain To Site

[Spainman]

Hi all,

 

I´ve created my shop using the temporary url: http://62.81.159.230/~canicoba

 

I have registed the domain name I want to use which is www.reposteriacanicoba.com

 

How do I change this? It´s done through .htaccess file right?

 

Below is a copy of mine, if someone can give me a hand..

 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^62.81.159.230$
RewriteRule . - [E=REWRITEBASE:/~canicoba/]
RewriteRule ^api/?(.*)$ %{ENV:REWRITEBASE}webservice/dispatcher.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

</IfModule>

#If rewrite mod isn't enabled
ErrorDocument 404 /~canicoba/index.php?controller=404

 

Regards.

if you now have a domain name, then you set the dns via the name server(s), the name servers have the IP address

 

you don't need to do anything in the .htaccess

 

you can also contact your hosting company for assistance..

[vekia]

you have to edit DNS entries for you domain, exactly as elpatron said.

if you've got webservice control panel like cpanel / directadmin you can do it, just add new "parked" domain and redirect it to your website

Thanks elpatron and vekia for the replies.

 

I´ve spoken with my hosting company and they are not "that" helpful. They say I have to map the domain myself.

 

Also, they were the ones that told me the .htaccess should not have any mention of the old temporary url (which it currently does) and replace it with the new one.

 

Is this correct? If so, how do I edit the .htaccess file as mentioned in my first post?

 

Thanks again.

if there were .htaccess changes, that we knew of, we would have shared them...

 

so outside of prestashop (as this is not really the best forurm for dns) , find out how to create you dns name servers associated to your ip address
