Got two problems about Prestashop instalation

[thunder11]

Hello everyone. It seems that Im only asking for help without giving any solutions on my own. Sorry about that.
Right now I have two problems to solve before actually opening my store:
1. I have installed my shop on domain dot com/presta/prestashop and I want to move it to another, more suitable dir. I found some answers like this one wrote by fs_xyz :

Inside your prestashop installation directory, there is a directory called config.
Inside it, a file named setting.inc.php.
Open it using notepad. ( or other web application )

define(’PS_BASE_URI‘, ‘
Search for that line. For your case, probably will look like this :

define(’PS_BASE_URI‘, ‘/PrestaShop/’);

Changed the word PrestaShop into whatever you want. Don’t delete the “/” tough.

Im curious what else is needed. Will I have to change the dir in Back Office settings?

2. My Shop looks ugly when I use my laptop. Actually sideboxes are centered instead of being located on the edges of my monitor like when Im using desktop computer (non widescreen). Can I somehow change that kind of behavior and get every customer to have same experience no matter what kind of monitor they use.
Thanks alot and sorry for my bad English.

1. Apart from moving all the files and folders of your installation to their new location, all you need to do is edit the file mentioned. Editing that file will change your BO settings at the same time.

2. The only thing I can think of is to make your site narrower or use a % width setting instead of a set amount of pixels.

Thanks for your reply jhnstcks. I tried to use % width in my global css but I couldnt achieve the result I was hoping to. I really run out of ideas and I need this make it work. Thanks for your help.

Anyone with an idea?

Thanks

Without a link to your shop it is hard to say what could be wrong.

If you move your files and adjusted the setting.inc.php the only thing left is: Back Office >> Preferences >> PS directory:

Thanks Tropisch,
heres the link to my shop : http://perun.rs/presta/prestashop/
What I would like to have is to get my shop look the same no matter if I (as a buyer) use widescreen monitor or "regular" one. Right now I get full page view when using standard 1024x768 monitor but when on laptop I got my sideboxes to be too centered ie. lot of free space. It looks odd.
Thanks again.

I hope someone has a solution because I don't. I believe this is a common problem with most of the templates I saw for presta. Perhaps some workaround could make things much better.
Anyhow, thanks alot for all the help
