[solved] Transferred Website to a new server

[NSXelrate]

Background: I was building the a Prestashop store on an existing host I had, but now that I am about ready to go into production, I transferred the site to another host account so I could have another dedicated IP for SSL.

 

Steps: Backup DB

Download files

Create DB

Run SQL to set up DB

Upload files

Change the config file to the new DB / DB User.

 

Problem: The URLs are broken.  All the links from the home page are "Not Found".

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Possible this is a different url than your build?

 

Most often this is a cause of 'old cache'.

back office-->advanced parms-->performance-->clear cache (top right on 1.6 shops)

 

if that does not fix then,

 

back office--->advanced parameters-->performance

 

turn off friendly urls' save-->turn on friendly url's  save

(this to rebuild the .htaccess file)

Thank you for your help!

For future reference:

 

Clearing Cache didn't work.

I had to Turn Off Friendly URLs (1.6 is in Preferences / SEO and URLs)

at this point it worked again.

You can Friendly URLs back on, and it will work as normal.
