After I got hacked my main business webshop which is based on Presta 1.6.1.24 was trashed after many days trying to fix it and lots of help from you guys i got it back live but it had problems it was working to the point all the retail stores I run had the ability to operate ok via POS which was a massive help obviously we all need income but it was running with a major online issue, customers could not order online via a mobile device as the cart was missing (fine on a desktop) I tried many reccomendations to fix the issue I have exhaused all backups trying to fix and decided to build a fresh cart with Bees.
Bees is benching faster its easier for me to manipulate to look how i want it too it, was a project in the pipeline anyway just didnt want to be forced into it.
What I have done so far
Installed Bees to website.co.uk/shop
Existing website is website.com/shop
Migrated using migration pro this took a long time 200,000 orders 23,000 customers and 1500,00 products it stalled a few times but always picked up where it left off
Checked data and images (all seem fine)
Checked all orders (all seem fine) some of the stats are blank im guessing one or two stats modules need enabling
Checked customers ( there are password issues ) not sure how to fix this yet but have a set of dummy logins I use to check things and make test purchases etc and it failed, had to reset passwords this could be a problem for the other 23,000 customers I have left the MPro module switched on as I see it requires this for passwords, I will have to look at this later,
Checked paypal is working (all good so far)
Checked mobile users have a cart once adding a product (all works fine)
Installed my POS this seems to be running fine a few missing images I need to work on that and no amount of regenerating the thumbnails works on this instance, im guessing a module issue or maybe image type I will fix that later.
Checked search function and its doing exactly as it is supposed to and very quick too
I have adapted the site got most of my modules working and im nearly finished asthetically, just a few bits go and a little more testing
This is the part im a little confused on
my plan is during a slow period (after midnight on a weekday) run MigrationPro once more to update the latest orders and customers
Put the live site into maintenace Mode
Rename the current live site site old on the server
Transfer the entire .co.uk Bees site (shop folder) over to the .com folder on the server
Rename the new Bees store URLs to .com from .co.uk from the multistore tab (3 shops)
Im guessing I have to regenerate the access file and robots file too
Is there anything else I need to think about during this transistion?, is it as simple as that for the SEO's do all the internal URL's for each product automatically gain the .com extension once I change the main URL? and will google essentually pick up where it left off with my ratings.
Sorry if this post looks a bit newby but im on a huge learning curve with all this, I have learnt bundles so far and its actually been quite interesting and has expanded my knowledge no end but often fall over on what im sure you guys find the simplest of tasks.
