Hi Folks,

I have just finished setting up an e-commerce site using open cart and am now ready for it to go live.

I have done all my testing and setting up of my site and it is currently www.mydomain.com/test

I want to move it so the website is just www.mydomain.com. How should I do this? I tried just copying all of the contents of the /test folder into the public_html folder on my domain but that didn't work, the index page was fine so going to www.mydomain.com took me to my index page but then all the links still went to www.mydamin.com/test.

I was going to consider installing and uploading opencart again so that is was in the public_html file and then overwriting it with my site (I make regular backups of my site saved on my laptop) but would it make any difference?

Anyhelp here is greatly appreciated.
 
Sorry this is unrelated to your question, but i was just interested how you find opencart? I have only just stumbled across it but the demo site looks very impressive. Is it easy to use and powerful enough / have all the features you need?

i am using it and finding it great as it's so easy to understand, but limited with what you can do. for small shops it's probably great as i'd expect not much will be needed, but when you start wanting to do more advanced stuff and get more advanced information it isn't capable of this out of the box. prestashop apparently is a bit more established and has a lot more features/mods so perhaps worth a try instead. i did look at prestashop but found it much harder to understand straight away then opencart.

re-installing should work, i think file location is stored in the database (though i can't find where) so reinstalling on the server should fix the issue

Edit config.php in public_html and public_html/admin and remove all of the /test entries in the various path locations.
