If you want to move your cart from a subfolder to the root:
1. Backup your store: take 2 backups, preferably, and keep one safely away from your working files
2. Take one of the backups, and amend the
config,
admin/config, (and
.htaccess if applicable), to reflect the new file paths. For example, in config.php:
Code: Select all
define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/domain/public_html/shop/catalog/');
becomes
Code: Select all
define ('DIR_APPLICATION', '/home/domain/public_html/catalog/');
etc.
Leave the database info untouched.
3. Upload your new shop files, with the amended config files, to the root of your store, eg public_html/
4. IMPORTANT: when you have completed upload, login to your admin panel, and go to system > settings >store. Change the old shop URL to the new URL. Remember
the trailing slash /!
5. Test everything to be sure it works
Think that's it..
