Local frontshop category's doesn't show (backend is working fine)

[Don-H]

Hello,

 

I have a live shop witch is working fine, but I want to modify the layout so I installed it on my local PC.

The backend is working fine. But the frontend is giving problems.

 

1) On the home-page I can see the banner (images) ect. but I can't see product images (from bestseller, populair products etc)  when I click on a category I get a 404 message.

Do I have to point to the category's or images somewhere in the phpadmin ?

 

 

2) The debug mode doen't work

 

In defines.inc.php I changed the files to:

 

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

@ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

 

 

Anybody an idea what's wrong

Try to delete .htaccess file, and check back office and section SEO and URLS , it should contain link to local store.

And try to turn off and on again Friendly urls.

[Don-H]

Ok thanks, now it's working fine, I deleted the .htacces file and turn the seo friendly URL's OFF.
 

 

One more question,

 

If I go to modules themeconfigurator >> and click on "Live Configurator" the life configurator doesn't show on the new page

[razaro]

Try to turn friendly url ON on local too, if not working check if php extension mod_rewrite is enabled.

 

For live configurator, not sure,  try to clear cache in back office > advanced preferences and if you

working on local leave cache off .

 

 

P.S check http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/256751-read-first-forum-rules-and-best-practices/

Ok thanks Razaro, I will handle the second question in a new topic (didn't know that) keeps the forum clean...I get it.

 

P.S. can you tell me where can I find this PHP extension mod_rewrite

[Don-H]

I looked at my local apache server and can't find the mod_rewrite, so I think this is not installed, can you tell me how I can turn this on in apache ?

[razaro]

Do you use some program on localhost, what is your OS ? 

 

In apache , httpd.conf file line

 

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

 

needs to be uncommented.

 

But if you are using Windows WAMP should be easier just from menu, and for linux think there is one command to type.

[Don-H]

OS = windows 8.1

 

As programme i use wamp

[Don-H]

Weird,...I uncommend the LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so in the (In apache , httpd.conf)

Deleted the .htacces

turned OFF and ON the friendly url's

 

Butt then I still get the 404 error when friendly url's are ON

[razaro]

Try other way then from wamp icon menu, Apache > Apache Modules and tick rewrite_module , also restart server.

Unfortunately not working, I have a red tri-angel in the module list from apache at the re-write module
