how to change my URL?

[firescorpz]

Hi,

I have previously create a site eg: www.abc.com

But when I come to know prestashop I have created another site known as www.abc.com/prestashop

I want to interchange www.abc.com/prestashop -------> www.abc.com, can I do that?

I want to transfer the details which I created previously in www.abc.com to www.abc.com/prestashop

and

details from www.abc.com/prestashop to www.abc.com

Can this be done?

please advise me, thank you

Edit http://www.abc.com/config/settings.inc.php and change line 8 from:

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

to:

define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/prestashop/');

and do the reverse for http://www.abc.com/prestashop/config/settings.inc.php. Once you've done this, create a temporary folder in the root of your server, then move the contents of the prestashop folder to the temporary folder, then move the contents of the root directory to the prestashop folder, then move the contents of the temporary folder to the root directory, then delete the temporary directory. Once you've done this, you'll have swapped the prestashop and root directories and configured both Prestashop installations to look at the new locations.

I know this sounds complicated, but it is actually easy.

Don't forget to reset the permissions for the directories and the files. (chmod 777)

Also if you've enabled 'Friendly URL', you must regenerate the .htaccess file. We have just moved PS from domain.com/prestashop to domain.com/.

Hi!
I have a problem:
After moving my site from www.printercenter.ro/Shop to www.printercenter.ro i done all the needed things, in configuration files too, regenerate htacces, but still doesn't get a friendly URL, only 404 errors. Without friendly url site works ok. but with SEF enabled images are disappearing, products also. Even if i regenerate .htaccess?
Did I missed something?

I have the same problem as ata2k6...

Anyone a solution?????

I have overwritten the htaccess file again from a fresh installation, now it works. It seems that somehow my htaccess was empty and that was probably the cause of my problem.

The new htaccess file that I generated is empty. What do I need to do to make it work?
