Old database, new installation PS1.7

[Bas_1981]

Hello all,

 

I have a question: I worked on a prestashop-site (1.7), but when I tried to update, there was an error and the webshop wasn't accessible anymore.

 

I've made an new install and imported the old database (i backed up the old database) in PHPmyAdmin. But that doesn't work, I can't acces my front-end (rederection error) and when I want to enter the backend, I only see the plain backend (without images and css).

 

Is there a way to get it working? 

 

Many thanks in advance and greetings from Holland!

Did You make a files backup too ? Or only a database ? What is the link to Your store ?

 

Change in ./config/defines.inc.php and paste the code error.

if (!defined('_PS_MODE_DEV_')) {
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);
}

to

if (!defined('_PS_MODE_DEV_')) {
define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);
}

Hello,

 

thank you for your answers. Unfortunately I don't have a back-up of my files, I wanted to upgrade by using the AutoUpgrade function in PS 1.7 and then my shop wasn't accesible anymore. Then I wanted to install it again but it didn't work, see also this topic https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/606590-error-installing-prestashop-1711/

 

The file ./config/defines.inc.php is empty in 1.7 I thought? (can't check it from here, I'm at work now).

I don't get the impression that you spent much time investigating the suggestion I made. This software needs only the database and the parameters.php file with the settings from the old shop.

I started a new installation, next time I backup my site before I make some big changes.

 

Thanks for helping!

 

(can't find where I can mark this topic as "solved")
