Esprit Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Hello I am up to the point of installing. I have my index file and prestashop.zip folder ready and waiting; databased created. BUT the auto installer will not launch. I go to my browser type in my new domain (sub) but nothing happens. I type in subdomain.domain/folder/install but that doesn't work either. The "folder" is a zip so may be that won't work anyway! Frustrated! The instructions are not as detailed as they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crezzur.com Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Steps to follow: 1. Download the prestashop files (https://www.prestashop.com/en/versions) 2. Unzip the downloaded file, for example prestashop_1.7.7.4.zip --> unzip 3. You will have three files now (prestashop.zip, index.php and Install_PrestaShop.html) 4. Unzip the prestashop.zip and upload all the content to your web-host*. 5. Go to the url where you have placed the prestashop files. For example https://yoursite.com/myfirstwebshop/ The web shop will automatically redirect to the install folder ( https://yoursite.com/myfirstwebshop/install/ ) * Some web-host support unzipping in their file-manager, if so its quicker to upload prestashop.zip to your web-host and unzip it there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esprit Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) Thank you @Crezzur. The problem arose at the point of whether to unzip or not. I didn't and thought the auto installer would kick in when I navigated to my shop URL but it didn't. I'll see about unzipping in my file manager on my CP Thanks again 🙃 Edited May 13, 2021 by Esprit missed some words out !
