Multiple errors, linked to encoding? Please help.

[JakeGreeziak]

I have successfully installed PrestaShop 1.6.1.20 through Softaculous installer.

I have configured the software perfectly, and everything would be perfect if it weren't for these two issues I have ran into.

 

I have looked far and wide for an answer to this question, and I did find a peculiar website which has exactly the same issues I am facing, and it tells me how to fix them, but I am unsure on where to find the files talked about and wouldn't know where they are located. Furthermore, I should note - I have tried disabling debug mode.

Thread: http://prestatuts.com/tutorials/prestashop-how-to-fix-technical-error-unable-to-load-form-details-error-thrown-object-object-text-status-error/

 

New registrations are denied by the following message/s:

TECHNICAL ERROR: unable to load form. Details: Error thrown: [object Object] Text status: error

and (when trying to click "Add to cart")

Impossible to add the product to the cart.
textStatus: 'error'
errorThrown: ''
responseText:

 

Thanks.

Can you share the site's url? You should inspect the network response with the debug tools (f12 on chrome)

Hello, 

Thanks for the quick reply. I have been asked to not sure the site's URL until it's finished... I understand if this causes issues. I'm sure you can understand this agreement.

I did look at the response, and got the following message:
Failed to load /index.php?rand=1534160200115 : Response for preflight is invalid (redirect)

I also looked at the response when trying to create an account (Create an account):
Failed to load /index.php?rand=1534160477784 : Response for preflight is invalid (redirect)      index.php?controller...n&back=my-account:1

 

Both the issues I am encountering here relate to the issues encountered in the thread I linked, which details how to fix it. My question was how I go about performing that action. The thread I linked stated: "To solve it  just change the encoding in the corresponding translation file you are dealing with. Open the file with a text editor like Notepad++   and change  “encode UTF-8” to “UTF-8 without BOM”   and save the file.". How would I do this, I don't know which file they are referring to.

Thanks again.

Bump?

Are you using https? Make sure the request is coherent with the protocol of the actual page

The option to enable SSL was disabled. I changed this by running an SQL query, but it then the store page wouldn't load, and instead would redirect me infinitely... Causing the page not to load.

I should also maybe point out this redirect issue happens on a fresh installation, and is fixed when I disable SSL on all pages. 

I am using CloudFlare, which has a page rule to apply SSL to all pages. I have tried pretty much everything I can find, however it doesn't seem there's much support...

Any way you can test without cloudflare?
