Move a php webshop

by Meloon
8 replies
Hey there!

I just bought a webshop that is developed in php and I was instructed to take over the domain and create a webhotel and put the webshop files in the new webhotel and all would be working.

Wrong! I can't get the domain to connect to the webshop although the files are in the root.

I remember from somewhere that it's not possible to just cut and paste a php-based webpage and make it work just like that. You need to perform some adjustments or configuration.

What should I do?? Anyone?

Thanks in adnvace!

    And what is the error you are getting?
    Is there a database also?

      I use Filezilla to move all files. When I enter my webshop on Hosted By One.com | Webhosting made simple I don't get the webshop presented.

      I don't get any error message neither in Filezilla when I move the files or on my webshop link.

      Did this answer help?

    Hi Meloon.

    There is a message about database connection at the moment.
    Have you transferred the database and set the correct database connection information in script configuration?

    You don't see this error message?
    Link to database cannot be established.
    You say you moved the files. Did you move and install the database also?

      I just moved the files and didn't make any installation. How can I perform any installation you mean?

    You need to edit the the configuration file so that it tries to connect to the new database with correct login/password.

    Configuration file is named differently in different scripts/shops - config.php, include.php, database_config.php etc. You can edit the file in Notepad.
