yarashi Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hi All I have installed prestashop on example.com/beta and I have customized the site completely. Now I want to move the site to example.com and take it live. Can anyone help me on how to do this with the detailed steps to be followed? I have two important questions to follow: 1. Is the process moving website from one directory to another theme specific i.e., will some themes not allow us to move our website completely from one directory to another? 2. Will the URLs of inner product pages, internal links in the navigation all change automatically or do we need to do that manually. Thanks in advance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 you have to move contents of your prestashop directory to root dir of your store. Then go to the preferences > seo & urls tab in your back office and change the base uri param save changes refresh your website if you will have issues, regenerate the htaccess file 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarashi Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) @Vekia Thanks for your assistance. I tried doing the same and got 404 errors for all the pages on the site. Same procedure must be followed to move from domain.com to domain.com/shop right. Edited July 16, 2013 by yarashi (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 hello have you regenerated the htaccess file after change the base_uri field? sometimes its necessary. Yes, you have to use the same procedure while you moving shop from domain.com to domain.com/shop additional question: what kind of base uri you use? can you paste the value here? im asking because you have to use ita with "/" backslash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subhendusen Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Hi Vekia... I successfully shifted PrestaShop from my root to the subdomain shop.iamway.in and it's working perfectly. However, when I add a product to the cart, though it gets added, when I click on the Checkout, it says the cart is empty'. Can you pls help? Thanks.

subhendusen Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I'm sorry, it's working now. Seems like domain propagation issues. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centio Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 At 1.5.6.0 I actually had to do the following : 1) Disable cache 2) Move files (after that admin panel doesn't work anymore) 3) Use phpMyAdmin to edit table ps_shop_url. Edit the field 'physical_uri' to reflect the changed location of your shop 4) Go to the new URL backoffice 5) Regenerate robots.txt 6) Regenerate .htaccess 7) Enable cache 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centio Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 After you move presta, BO cannot be accessed. So you better change URI first and then move things around. Alternatively you can move files and change URI directly in database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 are you sure? i think it can be a case of cookies, back office doesnt use urls defined in settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centio Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Well I tried before and was unable to access BO after moving the shop. If cookies were in play, changing DB would not have helped. I would need to test again to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwesps Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 @Vekia, @Centio, @durangodave, We moved our shop successfully from test URL to live Domain. All fine except:- (1) Slideshow/slider has moved from Left to Center. As a result, 2-Banners that existed on its Right-side vanished. (2) Can't Hook any images to Top/Home/Left/Right/Footer.. Always gives error in uploading image... Please Help Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
