[quote name=‘stevethompson’]I’ve just completely deleted and reinstalled 2.1.2, including the database, and I’m still getting the server error. I can’t even run Admin.

hi Steve,



Who is your web host?

#22

[quote name=‘sellon’]Who is your web host?[/QUOTE]



CrazyDomains.com.au

I’ve sent an email to support but no reply yet.

No shell access and no access to error log.

$ cd ~

$ find . -type f -print | xargs chmod 644

$ find . -type d -print | xargs chmod 755[/QUOTE]



Does this mean that ALL files should have 644 permissions and ALL directories should have 755 permissions?

If so, I can do that with my ftp client.



Thanks, Steve.

Reinstall the software but before you do the actual install, change this in /config.local.php:


// Default permissions for newly created files and directories
define('DEFAULT_FILE_PERMISSIONS', [COLOR="Red"]0644[/COLOR]);
define('DEFAULT_DIR_PERMISSIONS', [COLOR="Red"]0755[/COLOR]);

Yes and also make the change to config.local.php as stated above.

I took my webhost account right back to original setup, then installed a clean 2.1.2 with the permissions suggested above. Seems to be working. Now to go through setup and add some products.



I hope that future upgrades will be much more trouble-free.



Thanks, STeve

Only if your cart stays original with no modifications.

I’ve had all manner of upgrade problems with other carts that have been modded and tweaked. This one, I’m leaving absolutely stock standard. But then I had a completely stock standard 2.1.1.a few days ago and the upgrade to 2.1.2 completely trashed my site.

I would never upgrade live site directly, all previous attempts failed with rather long downtime.


  1. Backup live store DB.
  2. Install WAMP + cs-cart 2.1.1 on localhost
  3. Restore DB to newly installed cart on localhost
  4. Run upgrade.
  5. Backup localhost DB
  6. Install 2.1.2 on server, restore localhost DB.



    If you got VPS and file manager, then sixth step can be done on subdomain, later live store and subdomain /home/…public_html… dirs can be switched with few seconds site down time…





    Install wamp & fresh install of cart 2.1.1 on localhost, run upgrade
#31

Just upgraded from 2.1.1 to 2.1.2 … one of the easier upgrades I’ve done… Very few changes to any visual templates

    Can I get more details on the step 3 and 6 ? Will the old DB be compatible with the newly installed cart? Pls help.:confused:
#33

After installing 2.1.2, the admin links in the top section go to a “page not found” error. It seems the links are missing “admin.php?dispatch=”



Any thoughts would be appreciated!

#34

What does your status bar at the bottom of your browser say when you hover over the link? You’re telling your assessment of the problem, not the symptoms…

#35

UPDATE: I removed ALL previous files and data, reuploaded and reinstalled. All is well now.



Thanks. :slight_smile:



-----------------

When I hover over the link… its missing “admin.php?dispatch=”



Therefore it shows (for example): www.domain.com/site_layout.logos



I’ve checked permissions, which seem to be fine. Also checked .htaccess and my config.local.php file but can’t find anything wrong.
