Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Soho has to be installed in a domain or subdomain.. not just a folder. So if you only have the domain installed and not another addon or subdomain set up.. then you wont get the option to choose.

On the first screen you should get a drop down of which domain to install it on.

No you cannot use BV to design templates for soho.. you can make basically two sites.. one for the bv.. one for the soho. you would have to manually LINK one to the other and vice versa for it to work, and you its not a task id recommend for a beginner.

Thanks for the tip.
I am not exactly a beginner.
Also if you do not experiment, you do not progress.
I gathered eventually that it will be a sub domain and not a sub directory and created one and downloaded soho into the sub domain, although it would be helpful for other users if the word in red below said sub domain instead of directory.
2) Do not install soho on your main domains directory, install it on another directory called /store or /shop or something like that.

thank you for your quick help karen!

Howdy,

I just found out that I can use Soho as the backend and BV as the front (yay for reading the forums). I have soho already installed, is there a way to change the location of soho (from the root to a folder)without uninstalling it? Or do I need to reset my account again?

No uninstall it. Then you must create a SUBDOMAIN. You cant just install it in the folder.. it needs the full use of a domain.

I am requesting additional information on this topic. To date I have created my BluVoda front end and the Soholaunch for my store. I went to Cpanel and tried to create a new folder which I labeled africanartforthecollector.com/buy

I noticed that when this folder was created, the file manager somehow deleted the / after .com Can someone explain why this happens?

Next I go to Fantastico and want to install my completed Soho cart in the sub directory. All I can see is the option to click on Soholaunch. How do I just install my completed Soha cart application in the subdirectory?

Thank you for your advice.

Soho launch needs to be installed in a SUBDOMAIN at the very minimum.. NOT a folder or subdirectory. Soho will then allow you to install in the SUBDOMAIN once you have created it.

Got it.

So I have to uninstall and then re-install under a sub domain name like:

https://www.africanartforthecollector.com/soho_subd

When doing this, would I lose all the data in the cart that I have created?

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

NO..

It would be something like www.soho.africanartforthecollector.com/

You have to CREATE the subdomain just like you do an addon. In cpanel you will find an ICON called SUBDOMAIN.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Thanks again Karen,

I did go to cpanel and create a subdomain sohobuycart@africanartforthecollector.com

This subdomain does not have to be Added-on as the next step in cpanel does it?

So, do I now go to Fantastico, uninstall SohoLaunch and reinstall? If so, will this step be the last step in this process to allow customers to buy from Soho Cart?

Sorry to be so persistent but I am trying to complete this web site for a client and working under a deadline. My intent is to be as thorough as I can possibly be before submitting the site for review.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Yes.. go to fantastico uninstall.. then reinstall

sohobuycart @ is incorrect

It should be sohobuycart.africanartforthecollector.com

Make sure you are doing it as a SUBDOMAIN and not a email address.

There will be a subdomain icon..

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Well that worked. I did go to Cpanel, uninstall and then install Soho in the subdomain. This was sohobuycart.africanartforthecollector.com

Then what I see is that:

1. There are no graphic icons on the Soho control panel

2. I did lose my previously entered sku product data in the Soho cart.

Yes because you removed it.. I cant answer you about the other.. i suggest you clear your cache and relogin.

Re: Can Soholaunch work within Bluevoda?

Hello - I didn't think I was a beginner at this, but I'm beginning to think I'm not as smart as I thought. I wanted to experiment with Soholaunch, so I tried to install it in my main directory, which thankfully I was not allowed to do. I read through this thread, and figured out I needed to add a subdomain, which I did. My domain is www.walshadr.com, and I added soho as the subdomain, so it reads www.soho.walshadr.com.

I was able to install Soholaunch to the subdomain, but now when I click on the link to the admin area, I get a 500 Internal Server error message. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You probably have the permissions set to 777 and they need to be 755
