Problem moving Prestashop from localhost to server

[denzar]

Hello,

 

I created a test website on a localhost and experience non-stop problems while publishing it to the webserver. I have managed dedicated server with Plesk. First of all, Plesk only installs previous version of Prestashop and when I try to upgrade it to the latest version with 1 click upgrade - it gives me lots of errors. I deleted domain from Plesk and created a new one. Then followed all tutorials to transfer the website from localhost to webserver, however I get a blank white page when I type the domain and try to access the admin.

 

Here is the process that I did:

1. Put the shop on a localhost under maintenance

2. Went to SEO/URLs and changed shopdomain, ssl domain from localhost to new domain,, changes shop URI to /

3. Exported database from PhpMyAdmin and saved it on computer.

4. Opened the website folder in Xampp and Zipped all files.

5. Created database and username/password on a webserver.

6. Imported the database from computer to the server - all files imported correctly.

7. Uploaded zip file that I created from Xampp to httpdocs of the domain on a webserver.

8. Extracted zip file - all files in httpdocs of domain look correctly

9. Removed all files under httpdocs / cache / smarty / Compile and Cache except for index.php

10. Modified httpdocs / config / settings.inc.php file DB name, user, password.

11. Opened PhpMyAdmin on a webserver and checked `ps_shop_url`- it is pointed to the new domain.

12. Still gettting a blank page in both domain and admin.

 

Please advise!

 

Thanks!
