jackkkx Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hello everybody ! I did have a look at other discussions but I do not manage to do this right...I have a fully functionning version of prestashop (1.1.05) on a free hosting server. I just bough a paid service somewhere else and would like to be able to have the same exact configuration with all my items on my new server. How should I do this ? I did a backup of all my site (downloaded all the folders and files) and did a database backup from the admin end. Then, I created a new database with phpadmin on my new server and imported my database backup. I uploaded all the folders and files of my site as it is to my new server and modified the settings.inc with the new database settings.It didn't work. What I get is a homepage without any theme and with no link working ! What am I doing wrong ? Probably everything, so please help ! What is the classical method to move a functionning prestashop installation from a server to another ? Thank you very much in advance for any help !A+ Jackkkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIH999 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 1. check settings in "/config/settings.inc.php" and confirm that they are correct according to your new host. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackkkx Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well yes, I did check the settings.inc.php again. I changed the database name, user, password and server to the new host's settings...I don't understande why the template is missing and I just get a white page with links that don't even work...help !

jackkkx Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 I solved it ! The folder I was uploading my site on the new host didn't have the same name as the folder on the old host. Just renamed the folder and everything seems to work smoothly! Now I guess I just have to update it to the new version of prestashop Last question: what if I wanted to rename the folder in which my prestashop is ? What settings would I have to change ? Just in the admin backend and then rename the folder ? Thanks !Jackkkx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm curious about this too..I've been running my shop in a testing environment in a subfolder on the server, but when I go live want to have it in the root directory. Is it just a simple matter of transferring the files to the hosts root folder and changing the shop location in the preferences setting in the BO?
