Moving to new server

Hi, I plan to move my domain to a new server and wonder what should be aware of and what I need to do for smooth transition as far as my ZenCart folder.

Re: Moving to new server

That looks to me as though you may have been over-zealous in adding full URLs into your admin/includes/configure.php file, so that the http bit is being included as several levels instead of just via the HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER definitions.

Re: Moving to new server

When moving to a new server, if one follows the instructions in the appropriate FAQ article, there should be no problems with the configure.php files generated by the installer.

Re: Moving to new server

So, if I will upload again my backed up admin will this fix the issue of should I start all over again (removing Zencart and upload again)?
Thanks!

Re: Moving to new server

Did you do step 1c of the FAQ? Are those the configure.php files that you are using?

Re: Moving to new server

Just noticed that "shopping cart", "Log in", "My Account" going to no-where. I guess it could be the ftp client I used as it was suggested. I'll give it a try.
