SVN Write Access to Prestashop

Circa 17th Aug 2010: You cannot modify PrestaShop yourself! Only the PrestaShop developers can. Otherwise, anyone would be able to introduce malware or bad code into PrestaShop. You should post a bug report and wait for a PrestaShop developer to fix it on SVN for you.

First steps

Start the VM and open a VNC console and install the latest security updates. 

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

It is fully preinstalled with SEF URLs. Admin login credentials with initial password: 

Username: admin@mydomain.com
Password: presta123

Change the password and admin email id after logging in.

The configuration is stored at: 

var/www/prestashop/config/settings.inc.php

The admin url suffix for Prestashop is shown in the first startup logs of the Virtual Machine. The URL with the suffix will be of the form http://__YOURIP_ADDRESS__/adminXXXX where the XXXX is alphanumeric.

If you wish to move the blocks around from their default layout areas, then follow the Transplant-a-Module page.

Passwords in PrestaShop v1.3.x

Make a file called pass.php with the following content: 

<?php

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');

if(intval(Configuration::get('PS_REWRITING_SETTINGS')) === 1)
	$rewrited_url = __PS_BASE_URI__;

$pass = (isset($_REQUEST['p']) ? trim($_REQUEST['p']) : 'presta123');
echo "The PrestaShop v1.3.x encrypted value of <br><b>$pass</b><br> is <br><b>" . md5(pSQL(_COOKIE_KEY_.$pass)) . "</b>";

?>

and place it in /var/www/prestashop and use it to get the encrypted MD5 Hash of a desired password as stored in the ps_employee table. For example, to get the hash for password abcdef1234, browse to: 

http://__YOURIPADDRESS__/pass.php?p=abcdef1234

and it returns the md5 encrypted hash. It is this hash that is stored in the password field passwd in the table ps_employee. When moving Prestashop across servers (and / or VMs), please note that this hash is dependant on the _COOKIE_KEY_ defined in the /var/www/prestashop/config/settings.inc.php file.

Upgrading to v1.4

The Prestashop Development Team has now released v1.4 Final with an extended and altered SQL set. The states (same SQL schema set as before) for Argentina (ID 44) have been introduced and Brazil (ID 58) and China (ID 5) removed. Indian (ID 110) States have not been included despite my submission to the team. All these states can be included in v1.4 with these SQLs.

The Development Team has also released a 4 page Migration Guide from v1.3.x to v1.4.x in PDF format (638 KB).
