Migrate EKM Powershop store to AbanteCart
(1/1)
vonnboard:
Hi, I'm brand new on here and brand new to this style of ecommerce websites, so forgive me if I ask stupid questions. I already have a live webstore, which is a hosted by an ecommerce site building 'service' by EKM Powershop. I have fallen out with EKM and I want to move to AbanteCart and I want to install it via Softaculous in CPanel. The install requires me to assign the domain name, but I'm worried that if I do this it will automatically point the domain from my live site to the not yet built AbanteCart and take my store off line. Basically I want to build my new AbanteCart store in the background and when its ready just activite it and re-point the domain. Is this possible? Thanks

sure, this is possible, easy, and preferable.
You have two choices - you can install your abantecart in a sub-folder or in a sub-domain - if you are new to working with Cpanel you might find the sub-folder the easiest.
Softaculous will ask you for the folder (directory) name you wish to use and it will make the folder for you.
Here's and example:
your current domain - mydomain.com
Softaculous pre-fills that dir field with AbanteCart - if that is what you wish to use - just continue one the installation
Then your existing store will continue to works as it currently does. And you can develop your abantecarte store
in mydomain.com/AbanteCart
Once you're happy with your new store - then ask us again how to get it where you want to have the public use it.
