Make my Prestashop site online

[SMARTDODO]

Hi,

 

Sorry for interrupting you. I just have two questions.

 

Q1: I have created my site via localhost through wamp server and I want to make this site accessible to everyone. Can someone please tell me what to do? I am new here.

 

 

 

Thank You.

 

Yours sincerely,

Jia Jun

you will need to:

 

1) export database and import it on your remote server

2) move all files from your localhost to your remote server. Don't forget about permissions for: http://doc.prestashop.com/display/PS15/Installing+PrestaShop#InstallingPrestaShop-Launchingtheauto-installer (scroll page to permissions section)

3) open config/settings.inc.php file and change credentials to your new database

The first two steps are easy to understand. However, the third step is a little tricky.

I am currently running prestashop 1.5.6 . Do you know if mine is a config / config.inc.php file and where is it located?

 

Thank you.

ohh so srry, it was my mistake

you have to edit settings.inc.php file

you can find there fields:

define('_DB_SERVER_', 'server');
define('_DB_NAME_', 'database');
define('_DB_USER_', 'username');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', 'passwords');

fill these fields with correct values

Hello, vekia 

 

I am having trouble putting my shop online.

I have read all the instructions which are in the following link.

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/126252-how-to-make-my-local-prestashop-online/

 

1> Uploaded all files on server

2> Import database

3> Done the changes in config/settings.inc.php file as you have mentioned earlier

4> Regenerate the .htaccess file in root folder with help of the following link

http://mypresta.eu/en/art/basic-tutorials/how-to-regenerate-htaccess-in-prestashop-1-5.html

 

5> Changed the ps_configuration table line 155 and 156 and put my site url inplace of 'localhost'

6> Also gave the permission read and write to my all files and folders.

 

The thing is that my back office works well but my front office doesn't work. And shows the 

Oops! Google Chrome could not find http

error in Chrome browser.

 

I am using the version 1.5.6.1

 

Kindly help me... 

[vekia]

please open preferences > seo & urls tab in your back office

 

there is field to define "domain" and "base uri"

what you've got there?

[RockyRocks]

Thanks for your support...
