PrestaShop

Transfer from another hosting provider

You will need to change:

• the ps_shop_domain, ps_shop_domain_ssl settings in the ps_shop_url and ps_configuration tables in the database,
• the localhost value of the physical_URL setting in the ps_shop_url table with /,
• the file $HOME/path/to/the/application/app/config/parameters.php.

Email sending

The use of /usr/sbin/sendmail is not functional. Please choose to set your “own SMTP parameters” and simply provide the SMTP hostname of your account (given in the menu Emails > Addresses of your alwaysdata admin interface).

Enable the PrestaShop cache

If you experience performance issues, a good first step might be to enable the CacheApc cache system. To do this:

• install the PECL extension apcu in your account through SSH.

ad_install_pecl apcu

• then add the extension to your php.ini.

extension=/home/[account]/path/to/apcu-[VERSION].so

• then activate the Cache APC system in the PrestaShop administration interface (Advanced Parameters > Performance menu).
