SSH in to your server, head to the Magento install directory and issue command:

./pear mage-setup .

DON’T forget the trailing . Next install the Connect you require…

./pear install magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern

Where “magento-core/Interface_Frontend_Default_Modern” is the key taken from MagentoConnect.

You need write permissions with your shell user in the theme and skin directory.

In brief a ton of PSD designs were sent across along with materials for products. A month later and it’s a working website.

1. Locate the email templates

The Magento email templates are located in (note: “en_US” may change depending on language).

magento\app\locale\en_US\template\email\newsletter_subscr_confirm.html”(28,69):

magento\app\locale\en_US\template\email\password_new.html”(24,41):
magento\app\locale\en_US\template\email\wishlist_share.html”(23,65):

2. Edit your information in

replace alt=”Magento” with alt=”your store name”

replace Magento Demo Store with your store name

replace mailto:magento@varien.com with mailto:email@yourstore.com

replace dummyemail@magentocommerce.com with email@yourstore.com

replace (800) DEMO-STORE with (0800) YOUR STORE NUMBER

replace Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm PST with your own store opening times and timezone

3. Advanced – Automated Shell Script

Another option would be to create a shell script with all you’re information in which goes through the directories in question and replaces text as we need. Note: You will need your Store View Name and Store Name to match your domain name.

1. SSH Script

#!/bin/bash
find www -name .htaccess -exec chmod 604 {} ;
find www -name *.php -exec chmod 644 {} ;
find www -type d -exec chmod 705 {} ;

2. SSH Command Line

find ./ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; && find ./ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

3. PHP Permissions Script

<?php
system(‘chmod -R 744 *’);
system(‘find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;’);
?>

BEFORE YOU BEGIN:

Login to admin panel > System > Configuration > Web and set both the secure and insecure base urls to this:  {{base_url}}

Then change the base url back once migrated across.

BEGIN:

1. Upload a fresh copy of Magento onto the new server (don’t run the installer yet)
2. Copy over your Themes/Templates, Skins, Images, and Custom Modules folders.
3. Export the old database and import it in to the new database. (phpmyadmin export/import works well)
4. Run the installer as usual.
5. Go into the Magento Connect Manager, and install this Magento extension: magento-core/Mage_All_Latest

That should be all you need. If you have other ways / experiences please let us know in the comments!

Simply download, extract and upload the magento-check.php file to your server and head to the URL to see if anything needs enabling, upgrading etc.

You can find the full server requirements here.
