How to migrate QloApps to a new Server?

In this blog, you will learn how to move QloApps from one server to another new server.

For safety, take a backup of all QloApps files and their database.

Move all files of QloApps from the old server to the new server.

Note: Make sure the .htaccess file in the main folder is also moved to the new server.

Download the database from the old server using the export button and import it on the new server.

After successfully creating a backup, users can download the backup file and import the database on the new server.

PREFIX_shop_url (Table): The PREFIX_shop_url table stores the domain and SSL information. Enter new domain values in the “domain”, “domain_ssl”, and “physical_uri” columns

Note: Update the values of the following keys with the new domain name.

Note: if you pull all QloApps files in the server’s main folder then:

the value of “physical_uri” is ‘/’ or if you put all files in a particular folder like “production” then in this case value of “physical_uri” is ‘/production/’

PREFIX_configuration (Table): Need to update the configuration settings to reflect the new domain. Enter values according to “PS_SHOP_DOMAIN”, “PS_SHOP_DOMAIN_SSL” according to the new server.

Note: Update the values of the following keys with the new domain name.

Edit the /config/settings.inc.php file and update the database credentials to match the new server:

define('_DB_SERVER_', '<em>SERVER NAME</em>');
define('_DB_NAME_', '<em>DATABASE NAME</em>');
define('_DB_USER_', '<em>DATABASE USERNAME</em>');
define('_DB_PASSWD_', '<em>DATABASE PASSWORD</em>');

Below shows you the changes in .htaccess file present in the main folder.

• RewriteRule . – [E=REWRITEBASE:/physical_uri/]
• ErrorDocument 404 /physical_uri/index.php?controller=404

By following all the above steps you will move your QloApps from one server to another.

This is the complete process of migration of QloApps to a new Server. I hope I was able to clarify the functioning to you.
