paneerwala.com Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi, I have developed www.paneerwala.com using Prestashop. I am currently hosting my site on FatCow.com although I am willing to shift it to some other host. 1) I want to know how this host shifting will effect on working of my current web site? 2) What files will I need to back up from my previous host? 3) As my host already had prestashop software on their server I need not able to download it earlier, however now I'm shifting toa new host they may not have Prestashop on their server so in this case what precaution will I need to take? (i am not sure how relevent is this question- I'm not an IT guy) 4) As per your experience also tell me what other things I may need to keep in mind before I switch my Hosting partner. Thank you!

vekia Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 2) whole prestashop filesystem + database dump 3) copy filesystem from step 2 and import your database dump as new database, then change credentials to database in settings.inc.php file located in /config/ directory (database host, login, password, table, prefix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes.com Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 also I would like to suggest that you do a 'new' install using the version of your PrestaShop so that any hosting requirements that may not be present on the new hosting be identified. Then when you are sure that the hosting supports your version of prestashop delete this and install your production shop.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
