trouble shooting : someone has already registered with this e-mail address


Recommended Posts

Hi, guys ! Is there anyone that may help me regarding the following issue?

I sucessfully installed Prestashop and I tried to register as a customer but failed to make it. It shows that “someone has already registered with this e-mail address “. I tried with different emails addresses but still cannot register. Please kindly give me some instruction if you can. Thank you very much!

I guess there was some error during creating new account.
go your back office to check if there is any records created.

Back office
Customer tab

Please also enable following errors displaying at /config/config.inc.php to see if there is error occurs

ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
define('_PS_DEBUG_SQL_', true);

Dear shokinro,

Thank you for your advice. I have checked the back office. There are records created. But from a new customer's perspective, the registration failed. I just don't know why.

And I will try to enable the errors displaying later and come back to you.

Thank you so much!

I don't think it is Session related, because PrestaShop doesn't use Session, it uses cookie instead.
If you can PM me following information, I can take look for you.

FTP access info
back office Admin access info


DearShokinro,

I have already PM you. Please kindly help me out. Thanks a lot!

Hi realstone,
I have just spent nearly an hour to looked into your site and tried to find out the cause. But I was not able to fix the issue.

The issue is caused by cookie lost. When I try to log in, log in itself is successful, but when redirect to my-account.php, the cookit is lost and it redirect back to authentication.php page, it become dead loop. I have no idea how to fix this cookie issue. Maybe you have to wait for someone with expertise on cookie to help you out.

But I have suggestion. Because back office seems ok, so I guess maybe it is cause by some other module that is called at authentication complete. So my suggestion is
1. Remove everything, include database, try a clean instaltion
2. Choose to not install any module at the installation.

see if the problem still happens. If it still happens. I guess it must be your server configuration related,
(I am not sure if you are using IIS or Apache)

you can have one more try. This is easy to do.

How about move your shop to a sub folder, so the URL will be something like http://youdomain.com/shop/
What you need to do is move the all files to new folder and change __PS_BASE_URI__ to '/shop/ in file /config/setting.inc.php.

The reason I am asking you to try is that because cookie works back office which is sub-foler.
