[SOLVED] How do I change the URL for my Prestashop install?

[WorldwideRETRO]

I have installed and set up Prestashop using the "Softaculous" installer. I installed it in a subfile on a domain X. I have now directed domain Y to that file. I would like to change the shop's URL from https://oldDomain.com/shop/ to the shop's actual domain in the "shop" file.

I figured this would be an easy change. I can't find it if it is!

Thanks for your assistance.

Access the database using the PHPMyAdmin, Edit the shop_url table & Edit the domain name in the "domain" & "domain_ssl" columns. 

Need to edit the "physical_uri" to "/" if you want to keep the URL of the shop with folder like https://newdomain.com/

 

 

After that, Login into the admin, clear the cache & regenerate the htaccess file.

Thank You!

Somebody should build this function into Admin. I hate going into the databases, but I'll give her a swing!

Best Regards,

You want prestashop files in main domain not as a folder 'shop'?  If so then you need to move files from 'shop' folder, then change url in db to domain name without https://.  If that was not your objective then ignore me loool.

I recommend installing ps using download from ps, upload to domain space, unzip and install rather than using 3rd party install

Okay, I stumbled through it. Changing the URL this way unformatted the back end and scrambled the front end until I was finally able to back door regenerating the htaccess file.

But, it's done. 
 

Thanks Again
