Move presta to new host

[cor3ys]

What's the best way to move presta shop to new host ?

will this work ?

1 backup data base with phpadmin

2 upload data base to new host

3 copy all files from old host

4 upload all files to new host

5 change the settings.inc.php file
define('_DB_NAME_', ';
define('_DB_SERVER_', '
define('_DB_USER_', '
define('_DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', '

do i have to worry about the
define('_COOKIE_KEY_', ';
define('_COOKIE_IV_'

can i just leave them as they are ?

I think you would probably be unable to log into your back office. I have never done this live but have, in the past, tried to moved my local installation. I just opted for a fresh install and left it at that.

There is no harm in trying I suppose. Why not try putting it from a live host down to a local install and see what happens? That way you will not loose any data as it will still be on the original hosting. Do you have time to try this?

Yes, its works.

I have tried to install Prestashop in 000webhost without success. Then I just install it in localhost.

In 000webhost I cried a bd, in localhost PhpmayAdmin I exported the bd and ctrl +c/crtl+v in sql command in bd 000webhost PHPMy Admin.

I changed config/setting_incs.php with the 000webhost MySql Cpanel information.

It all works.
