Blank Admin Panel

[mehmetsen80]

I installed prestashop according to the instructions.. I changed the admin folder name, I also deleted the install directory

 

I always see a blank page when I type website/admin123/

 

any solution for this? I see that many people experiencing the same problem?

[Radu]

in config/defines.inc.php do you have?

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

 

That allows you to see the eventual error you get

[vekia]

if you've got access to error log you can also check it. If something doesnt work with php scripts, you will find solutions there

Thank you Radu, I did what u suggested to me

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

I realized that I had some write permission errors on cache folder, so

 

I did:

 

chmod -R 777 cache/*

 

after that I could login but this time there was warning at the top of the page

 

then I had to give the entire root folder the same 777 rights

 

chmod -R 777 html/*

 

It is working now but is it not too dangers that the Presta forcing us 777 in whole root folder?

[Radu]

Presta doesn't force to change the folder to 777. If you run php under fastcgi/cgi and suexec, you won't need to chmod any folder at all because php runs under your user. So it depends on your host.

 

Maybe it's a nice idea to contact your host and talk to them to find a solution.
