First there are 3 files you need to get from the server to change a very small amount of code, don't let this make you think OH NO! because they are simple changes to URLs and 1 piece of code nothing else.
you are first after the .htaccess file that is in your shops root folder, not the sites root, unless you have the shop in the root that is.
For example:
/public_html/shop/ .htaccess
Place it in a folder just above your shop and site folder on your PC, I did /website/your-domain/adminchanges/subdomain/original/
I also made another folder within that /website/your-domain/adminchanges/subdomain/original/admin this will become clear in a moment
Make another folder mine was website/your-domain/adminchanges/subdomain/changed/
I also made another folder within that website/your-domain/adminchanges/subdomain/changed/admin this will become clear in a moment
That way you can keep things seperate from the main site you have on your pc (or mac)
Open it in an editor such as notepad or notepad+
The line number 15 of text is what you are looking for and it will say RewriteBase /shop/ or something like and you have to change this so it only says
RewriteBase /
Then save this, if you are using a notepad type program you have to make sure you save as and that it is set to ANSI and you change the extension to all files, then save this into the folder you made called /changed/
Then in your site you have 2 config files, both of the same name, which is why I made an extra folder earlier
Copy config.php from your shop root folder, for example public_html/shop/ on your server and you are also after the config file that is in (for example) public_html/shop/admin/
Place that in the admin folder you created earlier, keeping them seperate.
In those files you are looking to see if the URL's in these sections:
Code: Select all
<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/admin/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/image/');
Code: Select all
<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/admin/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'http://www.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/image/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/admin/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://www.your-domain.com/shop/image/');
Code: Select all
<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/admin/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/image/');
Code: Select all
<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/admin/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/image/');
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/admin/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://shop.your-domain.com/image/');
If like me you are still having one or 2 issues after you have done this you need to log into the admin panel and change any links you have set up before in layouts or banners so instead of them reading http://www.your-domain.com/shop/images/ for example they will now read http://shop.your-domain.com
Once you have done all this then you should have succesfully moved the links and URLs to read shop.your-domain.com (or your domain in your case)
