PrestaShop 1.6.x. How to move your website from one domain to another<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Log into your PrestaShop admin panel<\/strong> on the domain you are moving from (olddomain.com).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Navigate to Preferences -> Maintenance<\/strong> and set your shop under maintenance mode to avoid losing new customers or orders while moving the data:<\/p>\r\n

    \"PrestaShop<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Navigate to Preferences -> SEO & URLs<\/strong> and scroll down to Set shop URL<\/strong> section. There you need to change Shop domain<\/strong> and SSL domain<\/strong> to your new domain (newdomain.com).<\/p>\r\n

    Update Base URI<\/strong> if it is different for your new domain:<\/p>\r\n

    \"PrestaShop<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Download all PrestaShop files and folders from your old domain to your computer.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    Log into your phpMyAdmin<\/strong> and create a backup\/dump of the database you are using for your PrestaShop on old domain.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  6. \r\n

    Create database for your new domain (newdomain.com) and import database backup\/dump from your old domain (olddomain.com).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  7. \r\n

    Edit \/config\/settings.inc.php<\/strong> file which you have downloaded to your computer. There you should update the settings for the new database server (with your own settings instead of the examples here):<\/p>\r\n

    \r\ndefine('_DB_SERVER_', 'your.sqlhost.name.com');
    \r\ndefine('_DB_NAME_', 'database_name');
    \r\ndefine('_DB_USER_', 'database_user');
    \r\ndefine('_DB_PASSWD_', 'database_pswd');\r\n<\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  8. \r\n
     Upload all the PrestaShop files and folders from your computer to your new domain (newdomain.com)  via FTP or cPanel<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  9. \r\n
    Remove all the files except index.php<\/strong> in \/cache\/smarty\/compile<\/strong> and \/cache\/smarty\/cache<\/strong> folders on your new domain (newdomain.com).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  10. \r\n
    Log into your PrestaShop admin panel<\/strong> on new domain (newdomain.com) and check if it is working properly.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  11. \r\n
    In your PrestaShop admin panel<\/strong> navigate to Preferences -> Maintenance<\/strong> and disable maintenance mode.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  12. \r\n
    Check that all the links are functioning, all your products, images, modules and themes are still there, and try to create a new account and place an order to make sure your shop is working as expected.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
