Migrating Prestabox to Prestashop


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I currently have a Prestabox webshop and am  trying to migrate to Prestashop but it's not working.

Has anyone any experience with this about some special configuration or twiking that needs to be done in order for this to work?

What I have done so far: 

I have bought my backup from Prestabox and then have taken webhosting with Inmotion. Prestashop 1.5.6.2 is installed there. I have followed the procedure of transferring prestashop files,  recreating DB and changing username password and DB name in settings.inc.php. After all that  when connecting to front office i get:

"Oops, something went wrong.
Try to refresh this page or feel free to contact us if the problem persists."
 

When i try to login into backoffice i get the login page but loging in does not work and i if i go to forgot password i get

  1. An error occurred while attempting to change your password.

 

So i thought I did something wrong and asked the support team from Inmotion to do this migration for me but the same thing happened. Only error found is the following error in the prestashop logs,

*ERROR*         2014/02/16 - 12:44:09: Shop not found at line 389 in file classes/shop/Shop.php

 

So any ideas or advice? I would really like to transfer my data instead of having to recreate the whole shop specially since i have paid 150€ for them.

Hi, seems PS_SHOP_DEFAULT is undefined or you have problem in Shop core class file

// No shop found ... too bad, let's redirect to default shop
$default_shop = new Shop(Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_DEFAULT'));

// Hmm there is something really bad in your Prestashop !
if (!Validate::isLoadedObject($default_shop))
	throw new PrestaShopException('Shop not found');

Yes it's missing from there. I can add this inside but which value should i assign to it?

 

Also do i have to change in settings.inc.php the ps_version and theme_name fields? Version on Prestabox is 1.4.8.2 and on my hosting is 1.5.6.2 and as for the theme prestabox does not give me the theme used there so i have to switch to prestabox default theme.

Well this kind of worked. So now i can at least log in to back office but many links give me Tab file cannot be found.

Also front office gives me error The document you are looking for may have been removed or re-named. Please contact the web site owner for further assistance.

Any suggestions?

So after two weeks of working on this transfer i have decided to drop it all and recreate my Prestashop from scratch. I had a couple of Inmotion support people working on this with me and neither any of there atempts nor mine succeded. Backup data provided from prestabox  is incomplete or just to different. It can be uploaded to a prestashop 1.4.8.2. but then front office disappears into error 404 and back office gives "tab is missing" for half of it functions.  So for example you can't change the theme and modules tab doesn't even exist. I guess prestabox is to modified for it to be possible to move to normal prestashop which would be a nice information to get from prestabox support guys. Instead they told me i can restore all my data in prestashop without a problem so now i have lost 150€ for listening to them as of course they don't do refunds. 

So who ever want's get there data from prestabox be careful as you probably wan't be able to  use them unless you bought some themes or modules through prestabox.

Epilogue:

I have closed my prestabox shop in February and guess what, 3 days ago i received my invoice for March. I sent an e-mail to prestabox to ask why are they still charging me but no reply and since the payment goes automatically from my credit card i will have to cut that one and make a new one. Otherwise they will probably continue to bill me forever :)
