[Solved] Move installation to another location

[mobimob]

HI all, I have a testserver running my shop.
Now I would like to move the shop to a real production server.
How do I do that ?

Does anyone have a guide to that?

Thanks for your help.

You need to be more clear in your question.

Are you moving to...
1. A completely different server.
2. From your PC onto a server.
3. From one accout to another on same server
4. from a directory to another on same account and server.

Hi, I'm moving it from a server onj the net to a different server on the net.

Well thats option 1 above.
First thing to do is make a full backup of your shop onto your HD.
Second thing is install your db on your new account.
Then install your backup and, export your db contents using PHP Myadmin.

Hi, tahnks very much, is that all?
If it is, it cant be easier!

Thanks a lot.

By the way, is there anything with hidden htaaccess files and so, that I should be aware of?

Yes thats all.

If you use an ftp you will be able to see your .htaccess as well.(To download and reinstall it)

Remember to edit the database credentials and server in the /config/settings.inc.php file too to reflect the new database !!

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!

I HAVE DONE THE TREE STEPS

1. Copying all files inside your web account through FTP
2. Copying your local PrestaShop database’s data to your online database
3. Editing your setting.inc.php file

As you, when I access the index still in BLANK PAGE. But I CAN access the
admin page!

BUT I DONT SEE THE SOLUTION ON THE POST, AND IT’S LIKE SOLVED!!!


THANKX A LOT!

I would like to move from:

http://example.net/prestashop

to

http://example.net/

.

In Back Office i changed --> Perferences --> PS directory from /prestashop to / and than moved everything from /prestashop folder to /

Homepage works ok, but categories don't. What am i doing wrong?

p.s: database stays the same so no need to change it, right?

Thanks!!

[WODP]

Please, anybody?

[WODP]

Really nobody knows?

Problem is: when moving from example.com/presta --> example.com (root), edited settings and chmod necessary folders, i get homepage ok with all (featured) products, but links to them and to categories aren't ok and i get 404 error (page not found). Mysql is the same (maybe edit there something?).

Please if someone is so kind to point me to right direction.

I'd also like to thank hieloiceberg for all his help and advices regarding PS! THANKS!!

SOLUTION:


delete any .htaccess and create new one with this:

# URL rewriting module activation
RewriteEngine on

# URL rewriting rules
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$2$4 [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$1$3 [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ category.php?id_category=$1 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ cms.php?id_cms=$1 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)__([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ supplier.php?id_supplier=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ manufacturer.php?id_manufacturer=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/S=([^/]+)/(.*)    $1/$3 [E=STATUS:$2]

# Catch 404 errors
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

NOW IT WORKS!!!

I have the same problem. I moved shop from /prestashop to root, but still got the problem with the categories. I changed the base url to "/", changed required permissons, replaced the .htaccess but the categories are still not working (it gives me "requested page is not available"). When I go to any product, it works, but categories won't. Any suggestions, please?

I deleted all the files, reuploaded again and now it works. Probably one or more files were not uploaded correctly during the first time.
