change domain name

[GoPresta]

hello everone, i am new to Prestashop and I LOVE it....

I have my first shop up and running, everything looks good. But now I want to change my domain name. Do I need to reinstall the whole shop from ground zero, or can I simply make updates in the backoffice so it knows my new domain name.

If anyone has done this before please let me know.

Thanks so much

Everyhing's dynamic, so you do not have to change anything with PrestaShop. Just change you domain.
However, if you change the path (mytestdomain.tld/prestashop/ -> myrealdomain.tld/), you need to set the new one in the back office.

Of course... but where?

There is no place in the back office to change the domain, you can change de subdomain, but not the domain.

The domainname you cannot change via PS, you need to contact you hoster and see if that new name is still free.
Then you can change te domain-name.

Hi, as I know, yes everything is dynamic and not much has to be done to change domain name.

However, I have 1 issue though. My PrestaShop store is working fine when I changed the store from ebeautyhub.co.cc to ebeautyhub.com. Only problem I have now is that when I attach a link in Facebook say ebeautyhub.com, Facebook will detect the link as ebeautyhub.co.cc instead. Any solutions to solve this?

If the directory is not the same, you must change the file config/settings.inc.php
if for example you want to change from: yoursite.com/oldsite to: newsite.com/
then find the first line: define('__PS_BASE_URI__', 'oldsite/');
where define('__PS_BASE_URI__', '/');

then, if you actiaved friendly urls, you must recreate the .htaccess, it's quite simple from the administration
tools->generate->generate .htacess
