Thank your for replies.
Meanwhile I’m also not a biggest friend of Magento. Problems of Magento is its complexity in the code and configuration. To many technologies and methods in mix with bad (or no) documentation. To many time waste for maintenance or customization.
But it’s still the best one of the open source shops (IMHO)

I guess this post was done way before Bigcommerce came to the market. However bigcommerce is based on interspire ultimate edition and this existed at a time of this article. My argument is magento is not the best ecommerce software there is out there. I have implemented for customers before and none of my customers found it easy to use. Comments from my customers were “The software has great features but to hard to remember how to use it”. One other problem I found with magento is that it is a very heavy software. It requires High hotsing specs otherwise it will be a complete drag. I Personally recommend the Bigcommerce http://bigcommerce.com/

I have modified the core_config_data table and also edited the .htacces file ( RewriteBase /subfolder/). but still it is taking the files from subfolder and css etc from main folder.

Please reply your thoughts

@sulkh

1)
Don’t forget to change configured URL of origin shop to the URLs of new shop in the table core_config_data. You can also use Search-Tool of phpMyAdmin and identify every record where old URL is used – but outside of core_config_data table they are not so important and could be changed later in the Shop interface.”
2) I think, in that case you also have to modify redirection rules in your .htaccess files. Look on both of them. I the root and in new sub-folder.

However it’s not a best idea to copy magento into sub-folder of another installation.

True! Unfortunately there is not so much hosting offering java as flexible as they offering PHP or Perl solutions.
But we already stepped in the time of cloud and meanwhile virtualized machine hosting get more evolved and chiper.
So web development “in small” can now slow step into “professional” java world.:) That is probably what i would

By the way, why I like JIRA more then Bugzilla: because it is pure Java and the configuration is simple (in contrast to CPAN perl, which can be funny on different platforms).

Comment on SSH tunnel without password by shuron

shuron — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:33:00 +0000

Heh;)
Passwordless connection per web-ssh client?
Or problems on configuring such connections using web-ssh clients?
However Webcliets have nothing to do with that.

alfagold –

While we were able to get much of our Magento installation duplicated using the excellent tips here, I was never able to get Magento Connect working properly (a major objective of duplicating an installation).

We eventually abandoned 6 moths of fighting with Magento and now use a Drupal-based cart called Ubercart, which is faster, simpler, more flexible, and broadly supported by the community. Much frustration and anger was relieved by this change.

i m reading the last one and i think i m in this case. Anybody could confirm please :

original path : /home/clients/client7/web9/web
duplicat path : /home/clients/client26/web28/web

i understand that this commands can’t run :

find . -type f -exec grep -q “/home/clients/client7/web9/web” ‘{}’ \; -print

find . -type f -print | xargs sed -i -e ’s//home/clients/client7/web9/web//home/clients/client26/web28/web/g’

That makes sense!
Thank you Gerhard for that hint!

Comment on How to duplicate magento installation by Gerhard Siegesmund

Gerhard Siegesmund — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 09:56:00 +0000

Problem with the connection problems in the downloader result from the simple string exchange in pear.ini. The configuration is stored in a serialized array. If the old path and the new path don’t have the same length, the serialized structure breaks, as the length of the strings is also encoded in the structure.

Therefore the above mentioned command only works if the old path and the new path have exactly the same length.

If this is not the case you have to read in the configuration inside php unserialize the structure, change the configuration and rewrite the file with the new serialized string.
