making my site live and editing config.php file?

[dazlia]

Hi folks,

I've got a testsite at the minute and in order to make it live ive just copied everything from my test folder into the root directory public_html

I'm led to believe, having read other threads on here that im supposed to do the following :-

 

settings.inc.php (public_html/config/settings.inc.php). Change the line:

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/test/');

into:

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

At this moment in time i haven't edited that php file and when i visit my URL it automatically forwards to the test folder, which im guessing is what you'd expect?

The problem being that my config php file contains the following line so im not sure exactly how to edit this?

This is what i can see in my php file :-

 

/* Initialize the current Shop */
Context::getContext()->shop = Shop::initialize();
define('_THEME_NAME_', Context::getContext()->shop->getTheme());
define('__PS_BASE_URI__', Context::getContext()->shop->getBaseURI());

any ideas please? thanks guys

you should change everything in back office under preferences > seo & urls tab

you've got there place where you can define base uri

 

you can do the same manually in database - search for ps_shop_url table

Thanks Vekia,

So how do i login to my new LIVE shop? the only login I have is for where i installed it which is in 'shop2' fiolder :-

This is so i currently login to my test area using :-

 

http://mydomain.co.uk/shop2/admin-1375139806/

[vekia]

if you moved all files from /shop2/ to root dir (public_html as you mentioned above) 

you can open back office from this link: http://mydomain.co.uk/admin-1375139806/

I might be missing something here Vekia so forgive me mate. If i login using the URL that you suggested though it contains 'shop2' in the URL so surely I'd be logging into my test folder (shop2) and any changes I make in there wont effect my live site which is obviously outside that folder?

it's ok mate, ive sorted it now thanks. I think you must have typed that by mistake I was still uploading site to root so when i tried

http://threadbound.co.uk/admin-1375139806

it didnt work at first and just showed a blank page but now its cool and its workig as far as i can tell for now lol

Thanks again mate

[vekia]

glad to hear that it works

problem is solved?

[dazlia]

it is indeed and ive marked it accordingly

Vekia, one more questions mate sorry. I can now login using 2 seperate URLS'

http://domain/shop2/admin-1375139806/

or

http://domain.co.uk/admin-1375139806/

so i logged into what i thought was my live site using the first link above and changed it from "/shop2/" to "/" and the site now works. HOWEVER, ive noticed then when i look at the back office for my test account its also changed it in there. In other words, anything I do in either back office is reflected in the other back office.

 

Is that supposed to happen?
