Before uploading to hosting server


Recommended Posts

I'll like to work on my shop on my computer first before uploading it to the hosting server. As I've got an existing website running, I dun wish to interrrupt the operation of the current website. Am I able to work on the new website before uploading or I really have to upload Presta shop to the hosting server to work on the new shop? Help please cos I'm very confused and know nuts about computer. Even the current website is done by web developers. I wish to save some money this time by doing up one myself. Please advise. If I will to work on my computer, how do I go about doing it? Use it like any other software? Thanks!

I think you need to use something called WAMP to install Prestashop locally on your computer. I've never used it myself. I would just install Prestashop into a separate directory like shop, then when you want the site to be live, just change the shop URL from "/shop/" to "/", then move all the files in the shop directory to the root directory. If done correctly, everything should still work.
