maninthemoon Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I am receiving the same message when attempting to upgrade from version 1.3.5 to 1.4.0.7beta. I have followed the instructions in http://www.prestashop.com/wiki/Installing_And_Updating_PrestaShop_Software/#Update_PrestaShop to the letter, but when I attempt to run the installer I get the Javascript message, in both Firefox and Chrome.

maninthemoon Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 UPDATE:I found the problem. It's due to the permissions of the /js folder. For some reason, it comes out of the archive with 700. I changed it (recursively) to 777 and it works now. Jaap, you might want to check your /js folder as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for the info, though you should be using chmod 755 instead of chmod 777 on directories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maninthemoon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks Rocky. I wasn't sure what was needed so I just went overkill. This is all on a local offline server right now anyway, so I'm not so concerned about security as I will be when I move it to production. When I downloaded the 1.4.0.7 zip and extracted it, all the directories and files were 700. I had to go through the whole thing and add user permissions just to get the installer to run. I don't know if I unzipped it wrong and wiped the permissions that were set in the zip file, or what, but if not, is there a place to go to find out what all the file and directory permissions should be in a production environment?

rocky Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It's pretty simple. All directories should be chmod 755 and all files should be chmod 644. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warman Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 It's pretty simple. All directories should be chmod 755 and all files should be chmod 644. Rocky, how can I do If I'm trying to install in local environnement (easyphp 5.3.9) and WinXP ? I'm still getting this error : This application needs you to activate Javascript to correctly work.
