  1. Although a slow server can result in the problems, as I said in an earlier post: “Musicmaster's triple edit program allows editing to the prestashop products without running into those error messages”. If his script allow edits to be made quickly and without getting errors, does the server’s performance really matter, or is Prestashop’s script simply full of bugs? I was once told that there’s no such thing as a “minor bug”; the scripting is either right or wrong, and if wrong, crashes will occur throughout the program. I left my copy of Prestashop on the server for the future, but have gone back to updating and revising our simple HTML shop I built long ago. I’d love to modernize, but this (prestashop) is a tough way to go as it is now. Best wishes, John
  2. Hi; Thanks for the suggestion, but I did that already and it still refuses to accept any password. I cannot get into the admin panel to change anything and the site is set to maintenance. Since my IP was changed (cable co), I can't even view the prestashop shop that's in progress. Very frustrating! Deleting cookies, cache files, etc., doesn't fix it. If I knew where in the prestashop files the IP address or password is, I could use ftp access to change it..... Thanks for the reply, John
  3. Old topic, another problem. My prestashop 1.6.0.9 is in maintenance mode. My IP has changed and now I am unable to log in to my own prestashop program. I can not log in to the admin panel, since it now will not accept any password. Was there a resolve for this? If so, what was it?
  4. For what it's worth..... Musicmaster's triple edit program allows editing to the prestashop products witrhout running into those error messages. Since his program does not presently allow for the addition of a new product, I begin by adding the product (name, etc) and add it to the category of choice. To do so, I had to disable every .htaccess file within the program. The entire process takes too long for me, and I have all but abandoned Prestashop due to that. This error problem has been around a long, long time and has yet to be resolved (although the bug cases have been closed as "resolved"). You may want to check your host server settings also. I found that there are many files and directories that I cannot change the permissions to, edit, or delete the files. My host has yet to resolve that problem. Since this error problem is as sporadic as it is, the server might be reason for these problems....... Prestashop is a great program, and it is important to get this problem resolved. Simply saying it's been resolved isn't doing it for me. It may be "free", but when you lose hours, days and weeks trying to get it working, it's not quite as "free" as it's said to be to the merchant attempting to use it. Oh well. Good luck, John
  5. The inability to add products due to the three errors mentioned at the start of this thread remains. After each change and/or deletion of an .htaccess file the problem temporarily disappeared, but the original problem would return once again anyway. This “bug” has been marked as “solved” and the report closed, with the note that the “fix” for this will be included in the new version release. http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCSX-3796 The continual re-write of the Prestashop root .htaccess file possibly being responsible for the inability of various other files to be written to, has not been addressed, and is being considered as an individual host server (file permission) problem. If the Apache server has to write to this file and so many are having a problem due to their server’s inability to write to it, why not change the requirement for having that file to begin with and solve the problem for all users? Anyone experiencing this problem should voice their situation by generating a “bug report”. Each previous report one has been marked as closed, but it should be made known that this problem is serious and needs more immediate action. If no immediate action is possible, then at least tell those that are knocking themselves out, to stop trying to fix what can’t be fixed without a total re-write. It’s a lesson in futility; frustration with a capital “F”. It’s free, however… For that, I’m thankful. John
  6. You do realize you’re making an old grown man cry, right? I suppose creating a csv file of products wouldn’t be a bad idea… But what about themes, and modifications to themes, etc? Is there a safe way to backup the mess so a revision/new version won’t result in a ton of work? There should be a “sticky” explaining how to save the basics to use after an upgrade. (It might be easier to add a product upload form and purchase order form to my present (and equally as old) HTML website. My efforts are to make things easier for my [spam-filter] and her Ipad…. after 50+ years, it’s too late for a pre-nup….) So far the temporary work-arounds listed above have enabled the addition of products. The last addition took about ½ hour however…. I’m still attempting to resolve the “errors” issue… I’m hoping the scripting guys will get it figured out the right way… You can only fix things with duct tape temporarily. Thanks for the “head’s up”, el, John
  7. Some helpful information for those (like myself) that are struggling to get version 1.6.0.9 to list products. This is what has helped (for me): Go to your: Dashboard / advanced parameters / configuration information And scroll to: “Check your configuration” It will list any files or directories with problems with permissions, etc. Set permissions to all files and directories to 775 using a suitable FTP program (such as FileZilla). That should help clear some errors. I changed the .htaccess file name in the Prestashop root directory to taccess (no period) rather than delete it totally. Disabling it provides a way to restore it quickly if necessary. With any luck, prestashop will not replace that .htaccess file as it normally does (it, so far for me, has not been replaced). Adding a new product may still produce the error reports (not in category, language not set, etc), but you might find that it has saved the addition anyway. I saved the product after using only the basic “information” tab, then edited the balance of the information after it was saved. Same error reports, but the item was listed and appears in the proper category with the proper shipping, image, cost, etc. Adding products takes much too, too, too long using these alternative methods and can be very frustrating, but until a permanent and proper re-write of the Prestashop 1.6.0.9 script is accomplished (sans bugs), this may take you through the night. (maybe) John
  8. I remember your post! Thanks for the input! Tried that, but it didn't work for me. This product problem has been around awhile, and from what I've read, remains to be around to this day (obviously). It doesn't effect every installation, and can be intermittent making it very elusive.... Can you still add and modify products? John
  9. The "bug report" is now active: http://forge.prestashop.com/browse/PSCSX-3796 Hopefully we'll have a final remedy! I'm a die-hard and hate to toss in the towel; just stubborn, perhaps? (is that a sign of an aspiring programmer? Stubbornness?) I had a choice of working out an easier way to: upload products to our present HTML/cgi website, add an easier method for a customer to purchase products, and a way to include dynamic USPS postage schedules for the specific product. Difficult to do with a simple HTML site, but perhaps even more difficult with a css/php/tpl/html site, ehh? Let us prey…. (/humor) Thanks el... John
  10. Update: associations tab Attempt to save or change error: This link_rewrite field is required at least in English (English) language tab Pop-up Error: Warning on line 1925 in file /home/fantiques/shopcart/classes/Tools.php [2] fopen(/home/fantiques/shopcart/.htaccess) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied The Prestashop (root) .htaccess file is 73 lines long, is that normal, or could this be the source of problems with the inability to add products? Temporarily disabling the htaccess file allowed a change to the product, but a new htaccess file (25 lines long) was generated and added new problems, while also making it again impossible to add or change a product and producing the same errors. ----- # ~~start~~ Do not remove this comment, Prestashop will keep automatically the code outside this comment when .htaccess will be generated again # .htaccess automatically generated by PrestaShop e-commerce open-source solution # http://www.prestashop.com - http://www.prestashop.com/forums ----- I ain't a young guy..... this is making me even older.
  11. I use FTP for all file transfers; I never trusted the "auto-install" operations. Since the addition of products had worked intermittently, I had little reason to question the permission settings. But I had to have the hosting company techs reset the PHP server settings, since the program was reporting errors regarding PHP server limitations. The problem of not being able to add products had gotten much worse since then....... It would be handy to have a list of the recommended permissions for directories and files for all of Prestashop. If one already exists, the url should be posted, or the information included with the download. Thanks for your input, it's appreciated! John
  12. Update: The error: Warning on line 170 in file /home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/gamification.php [2] file_put_contents(/home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/views/css/advice-1.6.0.9_324.css) [<a href='function.file-put-contents'>function.file-put-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied Has been resolved by changing file permissions in the /shopcart/modules/gamification/views /advice-1.6.0.9_324.css (etc) files to 664. Apparently group writing is necesssary. The problem of not being able to add products due to the same three errors, continues. Re: * This name field is required at least in English (English) * Products must be in at least one category. * This product must be in the default category. I hate to give up, but I can't do a thing if I can't add products and I've tried every "fix" out there so far (as have others experiencing the same problem). The github files did not resolve the problem. In fact, for me, it added a problem of the save buttons being greyed out as if having been pushed, and the "save" indicator spinning continuously. (nothing was saved, however). Does anyone have a resolve for this problem? Is there anything else I can do to locate what's going wrong? Is there a way to set the program to ignore the language and category errors? What's wrong with my version 1.6.0.9?
  13. I tried Github files, and ended up with the same probem that the original poster remained to have. I may try the github files again, but I'm putting an awful lot of time into all the repeat attempts. Most "remedies" have not resolved this problem for others experiencing this problem, adding to the frustration of seeing "problem resolved" and "thread closed", when the problem remains. When so many users are reporting the exact same errors when attempting to add a product, it seems to me that it's a generic problem and something fairly simple just need to be addressed. While true, that: "there's no such thing as a little bug", I seriously do not think it is a "bug", but merely an oversight. It isn't crashing the program, it's just sending the wrong message for a specific part of the program..... Ajax related? (by the way, I don't have the ability to change the server settings as indicated in your post; that option is not provided here) Thanks, John
  14. I had tried that remedy, but just tried it again anyway... No luck. Since the file can be accessed, it doesn't appear to me to be a permission problem, although....... The most frustrating thing about this problem, is that it is intermittent. I managed to get 9 products listed since starting to run this version, with a terrible fight with each one listed. The problem seems to have gotten worse and is now more contunuous. The "error report" posted in my first post is what concerns me: == Warning on line 170 in file /home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/gamification.php [2] file_put_contents(/home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/views/css/advice-1.6.0.9_324.css) [<a href='function.file-put-contents'>function.file-put-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied == I'm obviously not a programmer (although I managed to build fantiques back in the 90s), and dealing with multiple files to generate one html page is a bit mind-boggling at best. I would like to know how that above "warning" can be resolved. Thanks for the input! John
  15. ( I've previously posted this problem as an additional reply to other posts rather than starting another thread; sorry if this post appears redundant) Oh well, here goes: I've tried every remedy posted so far, without resolve. I'm running Prestashop 1.6.0.9 on a Apache host server. I get three 3 errors that prevent adding products: * This name field is required at least in English (English) * Products must be in at least one category. * This product must be in the default category. It's not only impossible to upload a product, but the program deletes everything you've typed in while it tells you there's an error. The error reporting module returns this message when entering the product editing module, and/or every attempt to edit within that module: ===== Warning on line 170 in file /home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/gamification.php [2] file_put_contents(/home/fantiques/shopcart/modules/gamification/views/css/advice-1.6.0.9_324.css) [<a href='function.file-put-contents'>function.file-put-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied ===== How do I fix this? Thanks, John fantiques.com/shopcart
