Prestashop Backoffice issues

[arnie81 0]

Hi,
I have installed a brand new prestashop instance in the last few days having spent a number of years using Zen Cart and I was looking to migrate across to Prestashop. However, i have just run into so many problems with prestashop to the point where i havent even manage to design the basic of the site:

I get a 500 Error everytime i try to save a Custom Text update (it doesnt save)
I get error messages when trying to create new categories and products

Is Prestashop always this buggy....pretty disappointed after hearing good things if this is the case?

500 internal server error is due to underpower hosting. Make sure you have a good hosting before starting. Several shared hosting companies limit to simple blogs and static websites only. Make sure you verify the minimum requirements. https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/basics/installation/system-requirements/

Hi Paul, 

Yes, this is ok to have php 7.4. But make sure you have version prestashop 1.7.8 or later installed. 

Thanks

Version 1.7.7.1 is the last released version. So 1.7.8 will be some alpha release.

Better to play safe and stick to 1.7.7.1 and PHP 7.3.
