Magento

Thank you very much !

There was a question about MagentoConnect.

I have used the command “./pear mage-setup .” (using ssh from the installed dir) and then MagentoConnect worked for me.

Another thing that is important to do if you are copying the whole dir (or copying over an old version) is to clear the var/cache folder.

Hope this helps someone

If you want to move your installation form directory or domain, you need to follow this setps.

1) Delete the content of the folder /var

2) Change the values of the file /app/etc/local.xml
There you can find your connection string data (database user, host and name).

3) Once you got your database uploaded, you need to make some changes.

- Run this query:

SELECT * FROM core_config_data WHERE path = 'web/unsecure/base_url' OR path = 'web/secure/base_url';

You gonna get something like this:

+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+
| config_id | scope   | scope_id | path                  | value                                |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+
|         2 | default |        0 | web/unsecure/base_url | http://www.tudominio.com.ar/magento/ |
|         3 | default |        0 | web/secure/base_url   | http://www.tudominio.com.ar/magento/ |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+--------------------------------------+

- Now, change that values for your new url.

UPDATE core_config_data SET value = 'http://www.tudominio.com.ar/' WHERE path LIKE 'web/%/base_url';

If you run the first query, now you gonna get something like this:

+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+------------------------------+
| config_id | scope   | scope_id | path                  | value                        |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+------------------------------+
|         2 | default |        0 | web/unsecure/base_url | http://www.tudominio.com.ar/ |
|         3 | default |        0 | web/secure/base_url   | http://www.tudominio.com.ar/ |
+-----------+---------+----------+-----------------------+------------------------------+

That’s all.
Of ocurse, the url’s that I’ve used are just examples.

In Magento 1.3.2.4, you may simply change the above url setting by going to backend panel : System -> Configuration -> Web (tab).
This will be easier than modify database.  (Making sure you are able to login to backend admin panel)

Could anyone tell me if it is possible to create my site locally and then upload it to my server as I have a Site which is currently functioning but I need to updae it with a Magento site ?

Thanks

Paul, of course this is possible and recommended! The first part of this post describes how you can update your site after you upload.

I will make one more comment, remember to delete your cache directory after you change URLs
