stevecas Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I've recently installed PrestaShop in a directory called /presta. I now wish to move the store to the main directory / so that the store can be accessed just by going to my home directory, e.g. www.mydomain.com.I have tried changing the directory within prestashop but it doesn't find everything. Can anybody tell me how to move the whole to my home directory please. :question: ThanksSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 Copy all the files top your server's root directory and then edit /config/settings.inc.php and change the prestashop dir from "/presta/" to "/" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbas Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 This has not worked for me. My admin moved my files from root to a /prestashop/ folder I regenerated the .htaccess and rewrite rules I updated the config Anything else? (This might be an issue with mod_rewrite, which seems to not be honoring the rewrite rules.. but I want to cover my bases and make sure I'm not missing some config on the presta side. php says mod_rewrite is loaded, so I can't imagine WHY the rules would fail).

tomerg3 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Did you update /config/setting.inc.php? You would also need to make sure the URL is correct in Preferences->Seo in the backoffice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbas Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In this case it was an mod_rewrite issue. My admin was able to configure the server properly. Oddly enough php reports mod_rewrite active even if it isn't configured to do anything. I don't recall if it was an apache or a php setting.

cpcs Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Copy all the files top your server's root directory and then edit /config/settings.inc.php and change the prestashop dir from "/presta/" to "/" Works great, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HETPE3B Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Don't want to create the same topic, but in my case it is 1.7.7.0. Just wanted to move the Prestashop from one folder on the server to another. So after I moved it - now I'm getting the Error 500. I went ahead and in the database corrected the table ps_shop_url to reflect the updated path in the PHYSICAL URI. Didn't help. I also deleted the VAR/Cache folder. Didn't help. Any other suggestions? What else needs to be updated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
