  1. here's how to set permissions from the command line: chmod 755 . chmod -R g+rwx img mails modules themes/prestashop/lang translations upload download chmod g+w config upload download tools/smarty/compile/ sitemap.xml config/settings.inc.php chmod -R a+rwx img
  2. Oh hooray - that worked! All this time fiddling around, and it was just the directory permissions I had to fix. For the record, here they are (copied from the config dialog): SYSTEM AND PERMISSIONS The following settings are required. Please make sure the following checklist items are true. If you have any questions, please visit our Documentation Wiki and/or Community Forum. PHP settings (modify via your PHP admin software): PHP 5.0 or later is installed Allowed to upload files Allowed to create new files and folders GD Library is installed MySQL support is on Write permissions on files and folders: /config /tools/smarty/compile /sitemap.xml Write permissions on folders and subfolders/recursively: /img /mails /modules /themes/prestashop/lang /translations /upload /download Optional set-up PHP settings (modify via your PHP admin software): Allowed to open external URLs PHP register global option is off (recommended) GZIP compression is on (recommended)
  3. That's basically the exact same thing I tried the first time. The back office looked mostly right - with the obvious problem that the little colored pictures on the back office home page were not showing up. But the front office did not show up at all. Just a blank white page. Couldn't figure out what was happening. Anyone else have any suggestions? What exactly does that install script do? Thanks!
  4. Can anyone tell me how to migrate my prestashop install to a new web host? I've done a bunch of customizations to the theme and applied a number of bug fixes to the source code (following suggestions in the forum), so I don't want to have to reapply all of these from a fresh install. Is there a simple way to migrate the site to a new server? I tried this and it didn't work: -scp the entire directory to the new server -recreate a new mysql db from a backup of the old one -point the config file to the new db I tried running the installer on a clean install and it works ok, but how do I get all my old data connected to it? Also, is it safe to copy over my repaired source files? If someone can give me step-by-step directions I'd be most grateful. I can't seem to find this anywhere in the documentation. Thank you!
  5. great idea. i'm [email protected]. Although now is not a great time for me... I'm usually free around 8:30 am or 8:30 pm PST. Either of those times work for you? +Hayes
  6. I don't recall, but try editing the image file in the theme directory.
  7. I'm going to post the whole css file (attached) in case i put the wrong bit in the post above. I realize it's probably too much to ask someone to read this whole thing, but maybe it will help.... Thank you, prestashop community! +Hayes
  8. Dear sarmenhb, thanks for the tip how to make ie6 look at a different css file. Now I just need to know what part of the css to fix! (I'm learning the hard/slow way here, by trial and error...). I'm posting the css here, but I don't know what part to fix. Basically this is from the stock css file that comes with the standard prestashop theme, with a few colors changed. I don't want to post the whole css, because it's so much, so I'm hoping I grabbed the right part! This is from /themes/prestashop/css/global.css /* global layout */ #page { width: 980px; margin: 0 auto 2px auto; text-align:left; } h1#logo { float: left; width: 29%; margin-top:0.5em; } #header { float: left; height:100px; width: 71%; text-align: right; } #left_column, #center_column, #right_column { float:left; } #left_column { clear:left; width:190px; padding-right: 15px; } #center_column { width: 556px; margin: 0 0 30px 0; } #right_column { width: 190px; padding-left: 15px; } /* block top user information */ #header #header_user { width: 99%; text-align: right; clear: left; margin:0.6em 0.6em 0 0; } #header_user p { color: #595a5e; } #header_user span { font-weight: bold; } #header_user ul { margin-top: 0.3em; } #header_user li { float: right; line-height: 2em; margin-left: 0.5em; white-space: nowrap; } #header_user #shopping_cart, #header_user #your_account { font-size: 0.9em; } #header_user #shopping_cart a, #header_user #your_account a { background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; padding: 2px 0 4px 26px; height: 20px; text-decoration: none; } #header_user #shopping_cart a { background-image: url('../img/icon/cart.gif'); } #header_user #shopping_cart span.ajax_cart_quantity { padding-right:0.5em; } #header_user #your_account a { background-image: url('../img/icon/my-account.gif'); } Thank you for your help! +Hayes
  9. My site is based on a slightly-modified version of the basic prestashop theme. However, I'm having a problem making the index page look right on IE6. The problem is that the header block ("Welcome, Log in. Your Account. Cart: (empty)") shifts to the left and down in IE6, which makes the whole layout look pretty awful. The site looks fine in Safari, FF (mac and windows), and IE7 and IE8. The images below show the difference between IE6 (Picture 2) and IE7 (Picture 4). I'm not so good with css, and I can't figure out how to make the header block stay in the right place. Can anyone help? the site is at http://secure.topobo.com/ thanks! +hayes
  10. My brain went bad one late evening, and I removed everything called "voucher" included a database table. If anyone can advise how to put this stuff back in, I'd be most grateful. When I use the "quickaccess" tab to create a new voucher, I get the reply "tab does not exist." Oops. And if the only way to get it back is to reinstall, I'd appreciate any tips on how to back up all the data (including themes, database) to do that. Thanks! hayes
