Migrate Prestashop from a directory to root

[Yaelede]

I have an old store written in in PHP/Mysql which works god, but I want to implement Prestashop instead, since it has obviously more features.

 

How can I migrate Pretashop to the root if I install it in a subdirectory of my existing site after I populate all necessary data and after testing it?

It really is just simple matter of moving all of the files up one directory, then you need to log into the back office, go to the SEO & URLs page and remove the subfolder name from the Base URI.

 

Depending on your version of Prestashop, that might not work.  So instead, you can enter the database and update the value in the ps_shop_url table.

Thank you. I think I will go for the database approach.. I'll let you about the results.

Also check your .htaccess file for references to the old directory.
