[solved] Relocating site on existing host

[stottycabanas]

At the moment, the structure on my host is mydomain.com/mycompany/mystore, with mystore being the prestashop folder.

 

I want to move the store up a level, so that I have mydomain.com/mycompany, with mycompany now being the prestashop folder.

 

I'm intending to do the following:

 

1. Take a backup of the store & database

2. In the back office change the URI from mycompany/mystore to just mycompany

3. Exit back office

4. Rename mycompany folder to mycompanyold

5. Rename mystore folder to mycompany

6. Move the mycompany folder up a level so it's under mydomain.com

7. I should then be able to access back office via mydomain.com/mycompany/adminxxxx

8. ... and the store via mydomain.com/mycompany

 

Will that do it? Anything else I need to do?

 

Thanks in advance for any advice.

hello

everything looks fine

remember to use "/" in the shop uri, it's necessary (without css styles wont load)

Thank you Vekia.

 

All seems to have worked OK - I just needed to amend a couple of the URLs for items I have in the top horizontal menu.

 

I'll mark as solved.

nice to hear that everything works for you now, btw. is there any chance to check your store? im so curious what page you've got

[stottycabanas]

Sure. As of yesterday, it's now a live site - www.zimport.co.uk/jacaranda

 

NB - I have done nothing towards SEO yet, just wanted to get the basic site working first with a selection of products to tie in with a particular event. There's probably still a bit of tidying up to do, but at least we're up & running!
