Move or Copy AShop

Previous  Top  Next

An existing shopping cart may be moved or copied from one location to another.

Before installing AShop in a new location, run the ashoptest.php script, which tests for required functionality and installs the correct IonCube loader for the operating system and version of PHP that is running on the server.

1.	Download the all of the AShop files and export (save as file) the database (structure and data) from the existing site.

2.	Upload the files to the new location.

3.	Set the file and directory permissions as listed in the new installation instructions.

5.	Create a database and import the sql structure and data.

6.	Edit the admin/config.inc.php file if necessary so that it will match the database server, name, user, and password.

7.	Edit all of the path and URL settings in the database so that they match the paths and URLs at the new location. This can be done with a tool such as phpMyAdmin or DB Admin, which are typically provided by web hosting services.

That should do it. If there is trouble with any of the settings, error messages will typically indicate the cause.

License key registration is not required if the domain name is same as what is already registered. If the domain name is different, it must be registered. To register a license key and activate the installation, open admin/register.php in a browser.
