[Solved] Problem with moving Prestashop 1.4 final from localhost to live server

[ochris]

Hi

I did some searching on this forum, but didn't find any similar problem.
Here the thing. I have final 1.4 version installed on localhost and need to go live with it.
Did everything like like said in tutorials
1. Imported database
2. Uploaded files
3. Chmoded necessary directories
4. Edited settings.inc.php

On the localhost the address was localhost/prestashop and on server www.mysite.com .I set base uri to
('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

BO works fine. FO loads up (images, customized theme) but almost all the links are broken. For example it shows localhost/my-account.php instead of www.mysite.com/my-account.php. Only http://www.mysite.com/contact-form.php seems to be fine.


Any ideas?

Hi
Have you recreated teh .htaccess file as this will probably have links in it based on the local install

[ochris]

I once created .htacess with prestashop on localhost but then deleted it. So I didn't upload it to the
live server.

Actually tried createing new .htacess file in live servers BO but no change on links.

Try turning off friendly URL's at BO-Preferences-SEO, also try setting Force Compile to Mo, if its set to yes, BO-Preferences-Performance and finally did you copy accross the compiled files from your local host, these are the ones in tools\smarty\compile folder, delete all of the ones with long numbers in their titles. I have had all of these things cause problems such as you are experiencing.

Thanks for answering rudders18, these were good clues, I was just stupid :-S
The asnwer was very easy. I totally missed under SEO tab the URLs setup where is Shop domain form.

Please be noticed that in 1.4 the domain name or host name is saved in database.
do if you installed on localhost then move to live site, you need manually change the domain name in database.
otherwise, it will always redirected to your localhost

That is not exactly true

Just go to Back Office >> Preferences >> SEO & URLs scroll all the way down and change shop URL.

Yes, I know there is place you can change it.
But when connect to your site, it redirect to your old server, what ever URL you changed, it will be saved in your old site database.

Maybe there was a bug which has been fixed?

have you checked the post I made on 02 April 2011 - 01:13 PM

follow the link provided you can change it directly from database if you can not access the back office correctly.

1/ Ofcouse, i've done, change domain name for database (table config) and fix setting.inc.php

and now - my site operated with new domain and database which i added new

2/ CHMOD like this:

 

--CHMOD the following folders and it subdirectories (and files) to 777 recursively:-

img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

 

--CHMOD the following folder to 777 (not recursively):-

/config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile

 

**** I've just get new problem : when enter the my site all table have gone, only text and image , look like disappear all frame, funny

Oha, i have a answer for this case, easily Hosting using control panel - that's right:

Vista panel : linux be ok (i've 2 hosting for testing too, test very OK)

 

Please check your server if you get this fall

Check your database table : "ps_shop_url"

 

Change field "ps_shop_url"
