In this tutorial we will walk you through changing your OpenCart store URL, which can be updated in the config.php file.

When you are using Opencart to manage your Website, there may be a time when you need to change your website's default URL. For example, you might want to test the site on your Temp URL before going live, or you may have changed your domain name.

You can access the admin section on any URL, but when you click a link in Opencart, it will attempt to resolve to the URL that is specific in the config.php file.

Changing Your OpenCart URL

  1. Using FTP or File Manager, navigate to the OpenCart config.php file, it is located in the root of your OpenCart installation.
  2. Edit the config.php file.
    Locate the lines that look like this:

    // HTTP
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://example.com/admin/');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'http://example.com/');

    // HTTPS
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://example.com/admin/');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'http://example.com/');


    Update the addresses to reflect yor new URL:

    // HTTP
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://newdomain.com/admin/');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'http://newdomain.com/');

    // HTTPS
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://newdomain.com/admin/');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'http://newdomain.com/');

    You will then be able to use OpenCart on your new domain.


Congratulations, now you know how to update your URL in OpenCart!

Hello Juned,

We do have an article on how to set up SEO Friendly URLs in OpenCart 1.5 that may be helpful. Other helpful information is also found via the Support Center search, so always check there first.

We do not currently have any information for OpenCart 2.x, however.

Kindest Regards,
Scott M
