copying a 1.5 installation to a new folder on the same server


Recommended Posts

I have installed PS 1.5 on my server in a folder

 

www.mydomain.com/pshop150

 

I've downloaded and copied the files to www.mydomain.com/newshop

 

I copied based up the database, created a new one and restored the file to the new db

 

(since its the same Server PS_Domain and PS_Domain_SSL don't need touching I assume)

 

checked the settings files and entered the correct db info

 

When I type the url - I'm getting a 404 error www.mydomain.com/pshop150//newshop/

 

where is the /pshop150// coming from?

 

I've done this sort of move / copy before - has anything changed in PS1.5 ?

Good evening!

 

I have been trying to transfer my updated Prestashop install from the temp folder "/presta/" into the live folder "/store/" in my web domain. everything works fine, the only problem I get is when I try to log into the backend, the page refreshes and does not log in.

 

I thought the password was incorrect and tried a different one, but then I get a log in error that the employee does not exist.

 

Thus I have concluded that my password and email are correct but the login just wont take me to the dashbord.

 

Please tell me what I may be missing..

How I did it with mine is:

Went into BO under SEo & URLs - Base URI and changed /prestashop/ to /store/

Then I went onto my server and changed the folder name from prestashop to store.

That's what worked for me. I didn't have any login errors.

You do have to use: yourwebdomain/store/adminxxxxxx (x's are whatever you renamed your admin folder to)

instead of yourwebdomain/presta/adminxxxxx

Hi BSide,

 

Yes it worked for me too.. the site is displaying correctly, and I am opening the correct admin login page, yet I am still not able to log into the dashboard. It does not give me a message that says the password is incorrect, yet when I click login it just re-loads the page and asks for my log in details again.

 

 

Very Strange

Hi

I am having kind of a similar problem.

 

I copied my current store 1.4 to a new folder.

copied my database and made the necessary changes so the new store links to the copied database.

Then updated to 1.5

 

My problem is as follows:

My working store (version 1.4) is in folder /store/

My new test store (version 1.5) is in folder /new-store/

 

When I go to /new-store/ all is well and all links seem to point to the right place

When I click on a product or menu link it redirects to /store/

 

I checked the ps_shop_url and it is correct.

What am I missing?

 

On a second note none of my product pictures are displaying on the front page of my store

 

Thank you for your help
