Here is how the files are organized:

  • /admin: contains all the PrestaShop files pertaining to the back-office. When accessing this folder with your folder, you will be ask to provided proper identification, for security reasons. Important: you should make sure to protect that folder with a .htaccess or .htpasswd file!
  • /cache: contains temporary folders that are generated and re-used in order to alleviate the server's load.
  • /classes: contains all the files pertaining to PrestaShop's object model. Each file represents (and contains) a PHP class, and its methods/properties.
  • /config:
  • /controlers:
  • /css:
  • /docs:
  • /download:
  • /img:
  • /install:contains all of PrestaShop's configuration files. Unless asked to, you should never edit them, as they are directly handled by PrestaShop's installer and back-office.
  • /controllers: contains all the files pertaining to PrestaShop controllers – as in Model-View-Controller (or MVC), the software architecture used by PrestaShop. Each file controls a specific part of PrestaShop.
  • /css: contains all CSS files that are not attached to themes – hence, these are mostly used by the PrestaShop back-office.

  • /download: contains your digital products, which can be downloaded: PDFs, MP3s, etc.
  • /img: contains all of PrestaShop's default images, icons and picture files – that, those that do not belong to the theme. This is were you can find the pictures for product catergories (/c sub-folder, those for the products (/p sub-folder) and those for the back-office itself (/admin sub-folder}}.
  • /install: contains all the files related to PrestaShop's installer. You will be required to deleted after installation, in order to increase security.
