Move prestashop from subfolder on my domain


Recommended Posts

Hello

So my shop in installed on a URL like this: www.domain.com/ps2/prestashop

I want to change it to www.domain.com

So my question is:

Is there anything I should watch out for.. anything I can mess up if I move it to the root of the domain?

I have done this with Joomla, just edit configuration.php, move files and its done. Is it similar with prestashop?

Thanks

honestly it couldnt be easier. All you need to do is:-

1. Log into your BO
2. Go to Preferences
3. The very first option displayed is "PS directory:" yours will probably be "ps2/prestashop"
4. removed everything except for a forward slash.
5. Save
6. Via FTP move all the files and folders to root.

Bish Bang you are done.

I have done this many times with no issues.

Enjoy.

Hi, I have tried the following method to move my shop from one subfolder to another but it failed with the latest version of Prestashop 1.4.1.0.

1. Changed the name of folder from /prestashop/ to /presta/ using FTP on my server
2. Admin/Preferences/SEO & URL/PS Directory - change from /prestashop/ to /presta/
3. Admin/Tools/Generators/Generate .htaccess file

I was doing this as a test because if it worked then I would be able to move the finished shop to the root folder when ready to go live so there is minimal down time on existing website.

Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks
