Thank you Maskca, though I can navigate the BO I cannot "save" any selections I make. example, if I go to advanced parameters/performance/, I can select the radio to not cache-select save, nothing happens, there is no response from the machine or software at all. I do appreciate your input.
El Patron, I think that is the most frustrating thing about this issue. I am a sys admin and set up the servers for the Prestashop to begin with. We have always been an IIS foundation company, we don't do hosting but we do our own servers for the company, I am a ColdFusion programmer actually but cross trained to a little of everything. After a decision to switch to Prestashop was made, I set up two CentOS machines, the MySQL, apache, the whole deal but contracted the first site out to a marketing company. And though I was never a canned shop kind of guy, I do think template based shops are a good thing and Prestashop along with eMagicOne will result in a far quicker deployment of multiple sites. But I digress, I had an older Dell that came with XP at home so I installed CentOS 5.10 on it like I did here at work and everything went smooth, work machines are 64 bit and my older machine is i386 but I installed the correct software. I copied all the files, installed them, actually mirroring everything I have at work but have had no success. Sorry for the long winded explanation. I do appreciate any and all tips, I am stumped!
