- Files are not to be uploaded via FTP to a server: simply move them in the correct local folder, as indicated above.
- You do not have to create a local domain name: PrestaShop is available through the loopback address indicated above, which is either
http://localhost
orhttp://127.0.0.1
. PrestaShop itself is available at this address by adding its folder's name, for instancehttp://localhost/prestashop
orhttp://127.0.0.1/prestashop
if PrestaShop is in the/prestashop/
subfolder of the local root folder.. When accessing this address for the first time, you should be automatically redirected to PrestaShop's install, at eitherhttp://localhost/prestashop/install
orhttp://127.0.0.1/prestashop/install
. From there on, follow the regular installation guide, starting directly at the "Launching the auto-installerCreating a database for your shop" section.
