Hi, you need to move all the files in folder /prestashop/ to your root directory.

 

Then navigate to back office, preferences-->seo & urls-->and change your domain names (remove the /prestashop).

 

then it's best to clear cache under advanced parms-->performance....then you should be good to go.

Hi

 

I tried this, but if I remove the /prestashop/ from the base URI, the backoffice disappears and turns into a white page with a list (a directory?). And when I try to navigate to my page without the /prestashop/ after the url, it just saya 404 not found. Can you help?

Hi Clara probably you are new in prestashop like me

 

i follow the instructions of the moderator and i fix it.

 

you have to move the files from your root directory first .

 

login to your webhost  - controlpanel - file manager - yourdomain - and there you will see the folder /prestashop

 

you have to move all the content of the file out of there  in yourdomain file ,

 

and then if you want delete /prestashop folder

 

i hope i help you

Hi fredriksson77

 

Thank you for replying. I did this - moved all the files by using my ftp-client. And yes, I am very new to this, so I really don't know what I am doing:)

So all the folders are lying at the root now, but it still doesn't work. So I don't know where to go from here.

Oh, and if it matters, my shop url comes out like this: www.example.dk/prestashop/index.php

 

Is that index.php supposed to be there?

[fredriksson77]
