chriskingshott1 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Hello. Is it possible to change where my oscommerce site is hosted and stored. At the moment the person that is building it is hosting it but hes saying that I have to host it with him now that he has made. He says he doesnt think I can transfer the site over to someone else. Hes charging me ?50 a month. Can the site be transfered. Many kind regards Chris

Many kind regards Chris <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Chris: You had a number of replies to your other posting on this question yesterday--before some genius posted a commercial hosting advert and got the entire thread removed... Yes, you can transfer. For hosting recommedations, try WHT: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/ "Buy the ticket, take the ride..." -HST
wario Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 actually I am also in need of transfering where osc is currently hosted - my only problem is after backing up the database and downloading all the files, when I go to upload the files to the new server, won't I have to change all the settings to reflect the new server? Or is there an option that allows osc to self-configure according to the new host? Thank you in advance for any suggesstions and tips

It's not too hard tho. :blink:
Wendy James Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 When I change hosts, I also upload the install directory then run the install making sure NOT to click the x that says to install the database, if I have already uploaded that myself. This way it configures it automatically grabbing the info from the host like it did when it was installed originally... if it is on a host I am not familiar with it works well. Otherwise just changing the configuration.php files in both catalog/includes and catalog/admin/includes works =) Wendy James Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
