While, you are moving to new domain you may need to change database setting. In this tutorial, I will guide you to change database setting in PrestaShop 1.7.

Follow the below steps to:

    • Connect to FTP server or file manager and open the file: /app/config/parameters.php
    • Find the parameters with database_host, database_name, database_user and database_password.
          'parameters' => 
          array (
            'database_host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'database_port' => '',
            'database_name' => 'db_name',
            'database_user' => 'db_user',
            'database_password' => 'db_password',
            'database_prefix' => 'ps_',
            'database_engine' => 'InnoDB',
            'mailer_transport' => 'smtp',
            'mailer_host' => '127.0.0.1',
            'mailer_user' => NULL,
            'mailer_password' => NULL,
            'secret' => 'ItZfL8iSIRbCApWhsEPU08DpYRTRfAfo4aYiH7FasdHN0O90y0glXUxk',
            'ps_caching' => 'CacheMemcache',
            'ps_cache_enable' => false,
            'ps_creation_date' => '2018-12-27',
            'locale' => 'en-US',
            'cookie_key' => 'NtAb1tHTS0vTDiLhxYPgjbh9z2smq3ui4STNwCWypoA4QcuJK7hjmPrb',
            'cookie_iv' => '38DiI3T7',
            'new_cookie_key' => 'def000007db62c115928fe5628596548a3d21b7630b7dafe9e4f9b1c5806e07d5f20f96a6e715d896a3a58cfc7bd3c477329add96cac963712eff4c0261de13669a7a76d',
          ),
  • Replace existing values of that params with the new ones.
  • Save the file to apply changes.
  • Now, Remove all the files inside the folders cache/smarty/compile/ and cache/smarty/cache/, except the index.php files.
  • Log into your PrestaShop back-office on new domain and verify if everything is working properly

Hopefully, this tutorial will help you.
