CS Cart 4 - Close Storefront?

Just installed 4 and it is all working, but I cannot readily locate the close storefront option that v 2/v3 has.I do not want the store to be visible to search engines until ready, so how can I close it as was possible with other previous versions?

Just found it hidden in general :)

Thanks, I couldnt find it either. :-) Probably good they hid it, I had staff member accidentally turn our store off once. After that, I tightened up Admin privileges. :shock:

Hi i've installed CS-Cart 4.1.4 on localhost, its opening fine via http://localhost/cscart but i receive store closed for maintinaince message when accessing through http://127.0.0.1/cscart , please help.

I had this problem also. I have a mirrored site and a test site for each of my 5 stores. I backup the databases via cron jobs and then download and restore them once a week to my test server.



The problem is that Version 4 stores the url of your store in the database.



The solution is to use phpmyadmin, go into your database and look for the cscart_companies table. Use Inline Edit and scroll to the right to get to the storefront and secure_storefront fields. You will see that the url from your live store is stored in these 2 fields. Change them to the url of your test store and save.



You should then be able to “open” the storefront.



Hope this helps, it works for me.

Thanks :)

Now facing another problem, it displays “site front closed” even when accessing admin.php

I have resolved it, sessions table was crashed actually, fixed after repairing it.
