How to change base url from https://www.example.sg/ from https://www.example.sg/aaa? I would like to permanently append "aaa" next to https://www.example.sg/. Usually, when I click, for example, "test" category, the base url is https://www.example.sg/ and the url for "Test" category will be https://www.example.sg/test. What I would like to be right now is that the base url is https://www.example.sg/aaa and the url for "Test" category will be https://www.example.sg/aaa/test.

You can change your base URL of the store by following any of the below methods
From the Admin Panel
System >> Configuration >> Generel >> Web
See the below screen shot
Or the another way is you can directly change it from the database using phpmyadmin changing its value in the table:
core_config_data
Or either you can change it using command line follow the below steps:
1 Log into the client's server using terminal
2 Gain access to MySQL using m or mysql -u root -p.
3 Access their database using the following command, where database is the database name.
use database
4 Run the following command:
select * from core_config_data where path like '%base%url%';
This will display the current base_urls set in Magento
To change the base URLs, execute the following commands:
update core_config_data set value = '
http://domainname/aaa
' where path = 'web/unsecure/base_url';
update core_config_data set value = 'http://domainname/aaa
' where path = 'web/secure/base_url';
Your website base url will be changed now.

You're missing some vital knowledge about domains and URLs to be even thinking about working with Magento. I highly suggest you familiarize yourself with it. The short version is that the domain that you have to register ends with the /. Anything you put after it is whatever you want it to be. I suspect your site is not working because both answers here tell you to add
aaa
to the url, while it should beaaa/
. The base url MUST end with a slash.– user4351Commented Oct 9, 2014 at 7:15
You can go to
System > configuration > General > Web
to change Secure Url
.
Or you can go to database core_config_data
, then replace url https://www.example.sg/
to https://www.example.sg/aaa

Can I change even though I do not register example.sg/aaa? because I already registered example.sg and what I want to do is to append aaa next to the registered url example.sg. Is it ok?– May18Commented Oct 9, 2014 at 2:37
