Moving From Sub-directory to Root

[mtporter]

I have my PS in a sub-directory of /store. How do I make it appear on the root?

 

One of the things I see is this:

 

URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server, or it is not possible to check your server configuration. If you want to use Friendly URLs, you must activate this mod.

If you have your prestashop in subfolder and you want move it to root, you have to:

- Copy/paste all files to root

- Change configuration (config/settings.inc.php) file

Change this line:

 

define(‘__PS_BASE_URI__’, ‘/subfolder/’);   

 

to

 

define(‘__PS_BASE_URI__’, ‘/’);

If you are using user friendly url you have to edit your .htaccess file

-Open .htaccess file with text editor

-Delete subfolder string from all lines

Could you use the multi-store function/module?

everything depends on ps version that you use.

if you use 1.5 you have to use seo & urls preferences (base uri param)
