Switching hosts


wvmlt

Recommended Posts

I have my shop up and running but I don't have SSL. I want to switch to a different host and use shared SSL. Will I have to start over or can I transfer all my files? I really don't want to have to start over from the beginning because it's taken a while to get things the way I want them to be.

1- Make a backup of database in admin->tools (save to your computer)

2- Download a copy of your files from old hosting to your computer

3- Upload a copy of your files to new hosting (copy from old hosting)

4- Restore database (the copy that you have saved on your computer)

5- In both catalog and admin/includes/configure.php , change url to reflect new one, enable ssl by setting it to true

also, when you do setup your SSL, you will need to change your

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://WWW.YOURDOMAIN.COM');

 

and all of your other HTTPS:// paths in your configure.php file

 

contact your new host for instructions on how tou use your shared SSL.
