Development environment nightmares....

[SeanKimball]

I can't seem to get the development version to work at all, been at it for several days & all I get are weird errors...

Using, Windows 10 WSL, using Ubuntu, php 7.3 and all required php modules etc,  all permissions and ownership check out. 

Tested with phppsinfo.php script - everything comes up green - no issues.

• Installed using git clone
• composer install
• ran the web installer

It seemed to install fine with no errors.

Try to log into admin-dev:

• Admin comes up without any styles applied
• I can view source and open/browse .js/.css files no problem
• There are no 404 errors in browser dev tools

Admin seems to work it just has no styles applied!

Trying to log into the front end I get:
 

(1/1) ContextErrorException
Notice: Undefined offset: 0
in ImageRetriever.php line 304
at ImageRetriever->getNoPictureImage(object(Language))in FrontController.php line 1536

 

No errors in server logs, display & error logging is enabled in php.ini

 

All I need to do is modify a theme ... how do I get this installed??

Dear @SeanKimball, 

i had the same problems when trying to install via git clone.
Then I used the zip-File from https://docs.prestashop-project.org/1.7-documentation/getting-started/installing-prestashop and it worked. 

(Be sure to remember to delete the "install" folder afterwards and rename the admin folder). 

h2h, 
Ben
