      Step-by-step OpenCart Migration to a New Server

      OpenCart is one of the simplest and loveliest e-commerce platforms. In this blogpost we want to present a detailed step-by-step guide of the necessary steps you need to take in order to migrate your OpenCart store to a new server.

      Setting up our station

      Before we begin with our guide, it is best to do some prep and set up our station. As a first,we always recommend backing-up of your OpenCart store and database. Some hostings offer automatic back-ups, so in case your hosting provides this feature, you can fast forward to Importing your OpenCart database. If your hosting does not come with automatic back-up please read on.

      Backing up our OpenCart store contents

      As a first, you will need to connect to your host via FTP. In this example we will use Adobe Dreamweaver, but if you are looking for an alternative, Aptana, FileZilla or any other FTP client will do the job as well.

      This is a familiar picture of how things look when connected to your FTP server. You will immediately spot the public_html folder (at the top of the page). In case you are wondering what this public_html is, it is the web root for your primary domain name. It serves as a master cabinet where you put all website files and fold- ers. Double click on the public_html so we reveal its contents. Now, we need to locate our OpenCart installation folder. In this example we have named it oc1551 folder.

      * Disclaimer: In some cases there may not be a public_html folder or it may be named differently.

      Double click on the OpenCart install folder we will select all of the files in the directory and get them. By get we mean that we will get them from your server and copy them to your local environment. To do this, can click on Ctrl + A/ CMD + A on a Mac and Get/ Copy the files. To have everything organized neatly, we recom- mend creating a folder and pasting the files there in the folder.

      Backing up our MySQL

      Next, we will need to get a copy of your database. A database is an electronic filing system allowing a user to quickly pull out content out of it. We will use phpMyAdmin in this

      scenario, which is available in your Cpanel. Cpanel is a graphical user panel from where we are going to access phpMyAdmin. Your hosting should provide you with access information to your Cpanel.

      Once you login at your Cpanel, you need to go to phpMyAdmin. After this, please select the database name from the left hand menu.
