OpenCart 2.x. How to move the website from sub-folder to the root<\/a><\/p>\r\n

The following steps should be performed in order to trasnfer the site to the root directory:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    First, open server files and locate the subfolder with the current installation<\/strong>. That is ‘test’ in our case. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Back up the files<\/strong>. Keep the .zip file somewhere in your computer, it can be used to restore the original website in case it is reuqired. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Transfer the content of the subfolder to the root<\/strong> directory. Use drag-and-drop tool in your FTP client for this. Once the transfer is completed you can delete the subfolder <\/strong>as it is not going to be used further. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Next, edit config.php<\/strong> file from the root of installation. Use any available HTML editor <\/strong>for that. Remove all the references of the subfolder<\/strong> from the site link – \\test. Make sure that lines are ended up with ‘ \/ ‘ symbol<\/strong>: <\/p>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    Then open ‘admin’<\/strong> folder in the new installation root and edit config.php <\/strong>file from there. Use the same HTML editor for that. Remove all the references to the subfolder from the site link – \\test within entire file. Make sure that lines are ended up with \/ symbol. <\/p>\r\n

  6. \r\n

    Save changes once done editing. Now check the new site’s URL. The website will appear under the root direction properly. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Note: only sever files are to be used, the Database should not be modified.<\/p>\r\n
