PrestaShop multiple database

[PrestaNoobDev]

Hi all,

I have a site with PrestaShop e-commerce, and now I want to make copies of this website in order to have identical sites "clones" of hosting and different server on which I will translate only the language but I would use a clone site "Managerial shop" to add, edit and delete products and categories simultaneously on all the shops.

Example :

Shop

Shop Clone 2

Shop Clone 3

Managerial shop (to be used as a management)

I want to change the "Shop Management" in order to run his queries on other shop "Store" "Store Clone 2" "Shop Clone 3" I had thought to do this by changing the "settings.inc.php" file of "Shop Management" in this way:


define ( '_ DB_SERVER_', 'ip_server_shop');
define ( '_ DB_NAME_', db_name_of_shop ');
define ( '_ DB_USER_', 'db_user_of_shop');
define ( '_ DB_PASSWD_', 'db_password_of_shop');
define ( '_ DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_');
define ( '_ MYSQL_ENGINE_', 'InnoDB');

define ( '_ DB_SERVER_', 'ip_server_shop_clone_2');
define ( '_ DB_NAME_', db_name_of_shop_clone_2 ');
define ( '_ DB_USER_', 'db_user_of_shop_clone_2');
define ( '_ DB_PASSWD_', 'db_password_of_shop_clone_2');
define ( '_ DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_');
define ( '_ MYSQL_ENGINE_', 'InnoDB');

define ( '_ DB_SERVER_', 'ip_server_shop_clone_3');
define ( '_ DB_NAME_', db_name_of_shop_clone_3 ');
define ( '_ DB_USER_', 'db_user_of_shop_clone_3');
define ( '_ DB_PASSWD_', 'db_password_of_shop_clone_3');
define ( '_ DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_');
define ( '_ MYSQL_ENGINE_', 'InnoDB');


And besides i think that I should change also "DB.php" file to change the functions to run queries for each database defined in "settings.inc.php" I'm noob of PrestShop and I don't know which code I need to change to do all this, I hope you can help me.

I thank you in advance

Hi,

Why do you need clones if it's just for translation.

PrestaShop by default offer you the possibility to set multiple language for your shop.

Hi Mohamadou Ndiaye,

 

It is not only for the translation , I saw the multistore of prestashop and does not provide for the creation of children sites on different servers , my clones must necessarily be on different servers and on different databse.

Can you help me ?

PrestaShop MultiShop = one installation (files/db) for all shops.

 

I think all you really need to do is copy existing shop into it's own space,  files/db to create a 'clone'.  You can search using google for 'prestashop copy production' or something similar to see process for creating clones.

Yes this is a big problem for me, i need to have differents files and different db on differents servers,  I can't use multishop of PrestaShop

that's correct but you can manually copy it to different servers
