question about moving from localhost to live hosting

[kevkev03]

I'm currently still testing and configurating e-commerce site in my localhost, if i want to move it to hosting service how should i do it? Should i upload the prestashop fresh install file and re-configure it there? Or should i zip the current file and upload it all?

Hello, 

 

A fresh install would be better than uploading the file from your local machine if you do not customize much. But if you think you have changes a lot of things in your local setup, then upload the files and database to your server. Then change the following file:

YOUR_ROOT_DIR/config/settings.inc.php

 

Go to your mysql_database and brows table YOUR_PREFIX_configuration and change the values of PS_SHOP_DOMAIN and PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL    

to your new domain.

 

Thanks
