I own two domains with godaddy. One domain (lets call it X) I use for my online store which is made with Godaddy Marketing Ecommerce. On the other domain which I never used (lets call it Y) I installed and customized my new opencart store which I would like it to now transfer to domain X. What is the safest way to do it? Both domains are with godaddy and I have linux hosting. Can I do it myself or should I contact godaddy?
Opencart version 3.0.3.2
Will you point domain X to the server (where your OpenCart store is installed)? If so, you can do the following:Pysiek wrote: ↑Tue Jun 02, 2020 8:47 pmI own two domains with godaddy.

1. Create a full backup of your site (Files and Database)
2. Clear via ftp your system/storage/cache folder
3. If installed, remove any vqmod/vqcache
4. Change the domain in config.php and admin/config.php files
Everything is on godaddy so I see no reason why. Does it make a difference if I installed opencart on domain Y ? Do I have to do it again on domain X ?rjcalifornia wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 5:35 amWill you point domain X to the server (where your OpenCart store is installed)?

Sorry about the confusion. Yes, everything is in godaddy. Right now you can access the site via domain Y. Now, you have to point domain X to your site:Pysiek wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 9:38 pmEverything is on godaddy so I see no reason why. Does it make a difference if I installed opencart on domain Y ?

Then do the steps I mentioned on earlier comments.
If I am reading this correctly:
Domain X points to a website made with the Godaddy Ecommerce builder and Domain Y is your Opencart cart store? You now want to have your Opencart store load using Domain X instead of Domain Y?
If that is the case, the previous suggestions given are correct and there is the possibility that you may need to update the DNS settings for domain X. I can't say for sure without knowing what Domain X and Y actually are to look up the current records. You can use whatsmydns.net to look them up though or contact Godaddy. They may be using different nameservers or different A records right now.
The config.php files currently associated with Domain Y need to be updated to point to Domain X.

I'll have to look for the .htaccess code that you need to have to make sure the icons display properly. It doesn't have anything to do with your theme.

Does it make sense that I opened the .htaccess file and it's empty?EvolveWebHosting wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 11:59 pmI'll have to look for the .htaccess code that you need to have to make sure the icons display properly. It doesn't have anything to do with your theme.
Opencart version 3.0.3.2
okay I just did another test. If I go to https://mydomain.com/store it won't load small icons on the site. But if I go to http://www.mydomain.com/store everything looks perfect. So somehow the "www" makes a difference. I have SSL certificate on my site

Ok, I suggest you to read this if you plan to use SSL certificates:Pysiek wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 12:27 amokay I just did another test.

I did that already and it did fix a problem somehow. But now if I check to use SSL in the settings when I click on a product on my website it says it cannot find the page. It points where it should as per setting on product page. I will check with godaddy next if the apache thing is installed on my server.rjcalifornia wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 9:53 amOk, I suggest you to read this if you plan to use SSL certificates:Pysiek wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 12:27 amokay I just did another test.

Your .htaccess file should NOT be empty. Download the Opencart zip file again and after extracting it, upload the .htaccess file from there.Pysiek wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 12:15 amDoes it make sense that I opened the .htaccess file and it's empty?EvolveWebHosting wrote: ↑Fri Jun 05, 2020 11:59 pmI'll have to look for the .htaccess code that you need to have to make sure the icons display properly.
