Installed Prestashop with Ipnotik / Having trouble.


Recommended Posts

after install search for the directory /themes in your installation dir. There is already one dir 'prestashop'. You should copy your theme dir to the same place, so there is going to be 2 directories.

After that you go to your admin part and look for tab 'preferences' and from there 'Apparance'. On that page you should see your new theme and can select it. Press 'save' and your new theme should be installed.

Out of curiosity I downloaded it. It's not a theme, it's the whole release!

So do not look for 'theme' dir, but do exactly as said in the file 'install.txt' - copy the whole folder, create the database, import SQL and you should be done.

uninstall your existing prestashop. Empty the database, see that there is no existence of prestashop.

Then unpack the zip file and copy the prestashop folder you found from inside to your webserver. No need to install prestashop before, just copy the files. Then open install.txt located inside the zip file, read it and do as it's said inside.

What does this mean exactly?

"make SQL request whith "prestashop/BD/prestashop.sql (please do not use the importation phpMyadmin foncionality)"

I've made the SQL database and changed the "prestashop/config/settings.inc.php" to link to the database but I get the error "Link to database cannot be established."

You should use mysql command line version to import the SQL file pointed out. Usually you just have to open shell (run->cmd in windows) and from there type 'mysql db < xxx.sql' where 'db' is database name and 'xxx.sql' is the sql file to be imported. if you use username and password, they need to be pointed out also but it may depend on whether you use linux or windows.

connection error with database may also be caused by wrong dadtabase information - double check everything!
