Transferring my shop to another server

[khodari]

Hi:

 

I have a prestashop (ver. 1.5.6.0) on one server. Now I am changing hosts. What is the best procedure to do that while possibly upgrading to 1.5.6.2?

You can follow similar steps to the ones explained in my tut here:

Hi....

I test my prestashop in localhost and it work fine now after add all products and upload to server everything fine but in browser bar show me "http://localhost/nameofmysite/index.php?" i did some research about "

prestashop move to new server drops back to localhost" and i did step by step  

 

1. Upload all files to new hosting via FTP
2. Import the database using the phpMyAdmin utility
3. On database we need to open ps_configuration table and edit the following lines: PS_SHOP_DOMAIN and PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL and we replace the current domain www.olddomain.com, with the new one www.newdomain.com
4. For last we have to edit the settings.inc.php file inside the config folder and change the values for database name _DB_NAME_, user _DB_USER_ and password: _DB_PASSWD_ That’s it, you only need to check .htaccess file permissions (777) and all should work correctly!

But it does not work correctly :|

Have you tried deleting the htaccess file and generating it again?

From the general IT experience: do not to two things at a time or things may get hairy - you won't know what failed.

 

Either upgrade on the current server and then migrate it to the new one or migrate what you have and then upgrade.

and what if you upgrade it on current server and it will not work?

in my opinion, it's always worth to upgrade i test / dev environment
