Changing root of website

[GameMagic]

I created my website using a subfolder, and now want to "publish" it.

 

I was able to watch my website using www.gamemagic.nl/prestashop . I copied all the files into my root folder, but whenever i type the root adress, www.gamemagic.nl it will still change to www.gamemagic.nl/prestashop. I tried to change to code in the settings.inc.php by taking the /prestashop out of the code, but it didnt change the result. So I got a few questions.

 

- Do I need to remove all the files out of the subdirectory as well?

- Will I still be able to use the admin folder by typing www.gamemagic.nl/"adminfoldername"

- If I'm talking complete rubbish, please tell me what I need to do.

what you did sounds correct, you can simply move all the files up a folder to the root, and then just change the __PS_BASE_URI__ in the settings file so the value is '/'

 

you might have an .htaccess file in the root folder that is redirecting you. you do not need to delete the prestashop folder, just try renaming it to prestashop.old for the time being.

 

the admin folder will work fine.

GameMagic, did you edit or regenerate the .htaccess file. Not sure if you did that?
