move store to a different sub-domain

hello!

I want to move my zen cart shop to a different sub domain, that I created.
how do I do that? Do I just move all the folders or is there a different procedure to do??

thanks!

Theres instruction in the tutorials section

Yes, I found this instructions:

Moving your site to another folder on your server

1. Determine the new foldername where your Zen Cart™ files will be running from

2. Go into Admin > Configuration > Sessions and change the Session Directory to reflect the new folder name. If you cannot do this, see the alternate approach in step 5 below.

3. Move/Rename the folder. You may need to use your FTP program to do this.

4. Your /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files are used to point Zen Cart™ to the right folders. In those files, you need to update several entries to match the new path information:
   DIR_WS_CATALOG
   DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG
   DIR_FS_CATALOG
   DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE
   DIR_WS_ADMIN (in admin)
   DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN (in admin)
   DIR_FS_ADMIN (in admin)

5. If you could not set the Session Write Directory in step 1 above, you can use a utility to do it for you. The goal is to make sure that the new path information (specifically the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE setting in your new configure.php file) matches the Session Write Directory setting. If it doesn't, you may end up with difficulties logging in to the Admin area or maintaining login sessions in the store. The Fix Cache Key Utility from the Downloads > Troubleshooting Tools area on the main Zen Cart™ site will help you to do this if you need assistance. There is no harm running it to have it check that things are set properly. Be sure to delete the file from your server when done.

*Determine the new foldername where your Zen Cart™ files will be running from *

is this valid for a subdomain too???

I'm not sure if I have to change FIRST the Session Directory , and then move the files????

what happens if I cannot enter the admin panel???

Step 5 is a catch-all for folks that don't do step 2.

one more question,

is fen cart is in the root directory, what do I write in the next line instead of shop ?

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

all right, the thing is not working.

I would like to change the setting by myself, so this is the inludes/configure.php

** define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.nutricionizam.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.nutricionizam.com');**...
do I have to change the subdomain here? the sudomain name is https://www.subdomain.nutricionizam.com

** define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');**
this is the old position, now it is located in the root folder od the subdomain, so I was tinking of leaving this empty //

...

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/login/public_html/shop/')
this is the old position, now it is located in the root folder od the subdomain, so I was tinking of renaming to '/home/login/public_html/nutricionist/

...

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/login/public_html/shop/cache');
should this be: '/home/login/public_html/nutricionist/cache' ???

all right, I did it!!!!

now I just have to change permissions to configure.php..... I did it sometine before....but i do not rememeber how i did it!!!! :huh:

file manager in your hosting control panel or use your ftp program

thanks, it did not work throug the ftp program, but it did through cpanel.:smile:

Some FTP programs really seem to struggle with changing permissions, CuteFTP won't work on my hosting account but Coffee Cup will???

Glad to hear you're all set now :smile:

I use Filezilla, and in my case, it id not change the permissions :huh:

marinela:

I use Filezilla, and in my case, it id not change the permissions :huh:

... and that's likely a limitation imposed by your hosting company, not by your choice of FTP program.

ah really? I did not know that!
thanks!

Hi,

It does not work for me. Maybe i did something wrong. COuld anybody help me about this? I would be the most appreciated. I'm new in coding.

My zencart installed in webroot and now i want to move it to subdomain.
My subdomain is **wholesale.allsocute.com
**
After i changed in session in admin page to .../html/wholesale/cache

Then i moved admin folder, images folder, cache folder and include folder to wholesale folder.

Then i edited wholesale/admin/includes/configure.php as below:
