Thanks again for your help It's working! As a quick update: The problem was that I was using a sub-folder. e.g. yoursite.com/htdocs So I simply: I created a sub-domain (e.g. shop.yoursite.com). Updated the 3 domain related database entries. Now it works!

Thanks again. I gave up trying to copy the local site to the remote server. I've customised the remote site now. I'll try to copy it back to a fresh local instance. Assuming it's easy enough to get another instance running? I'd have thought it's almost essential for people to be able to easily move: from server to server from remote to local and back again It surprises me for such an advanced eCommerce solution that there's not at easy way to do it. I think there's a paid plugin or 2 which might do the job but I'd want to be sure they work for my setup before purchase.

I've just used Advanced Parameters, DB Backup to export the local database. Then I followed the 10 easy steps, included, to import the database onto the remote server. It seemed to work but had again reverted to localhost. So I changed the 4 relevant database entries and it works better than the manual migration. I'll attempt the instructions the following soon: http://nemops.com/prestashop-export-products/ Until then I think I'll just have to work on the remote site until or unless there's an easier way.

Prompted by the last post from Rasmus1970, I've made a fresh install on the web host. It was quite slow and I thought it had got stuck at 76% but it's finally complete. It seems to work fine! Is there an easy way to export the local PrestaShop and import into the online version? Failing that I suppose I can try putting my site and database on top of the new one?

Hi, Thanks for your brilliant tutorial. I'm moving from a Bitnami WAMP stack PrestaShop module install to my webhost. I copied the local database and files, updated setting.inc.php and hit the localhost snag. Then I found this thread and your tutorial. I had to fiddle with the URLs a bit but I managed to update the 3 URLs in the database and hey Presta! it works, sort of Now instead of localhost it displays PrestaShop but without any theme or formatting, just plain text html (see attached screenshot) How boring As usual I'm sure it's just a couple more tweaks my files are located http://my.server.com/presta/htdocs Database entries: PS_SHOP_DOMAIN my.server.com/presta/htdocs PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL myserver.com/presta/htdocs ps_shop_url: domain myserver.com domain_ssl myserver.com physical_uri /presta/htdocs Update: It doesn't seem to change anything when I set: PS_SHOP_DOMAIN my.server.com PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL myserver.com btw I do clear my browser cache after changes just to be sure
