How to migrate QloApps to a new Server?

In this blog, you will know 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 the successful backup, you can download the backup and import the database on your new server.

ps_shop_url: 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/’

qlo_configuration: 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.

Set values of DB_SERVER , DB_NAME , DB_USER , DB_PASSWD

variables according to new server database configuration. These variables are present in settings.inc.php file of “config” directory

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>');
