I'm trying to update my store from v4.3.6 to 4.7.2.
My 436 store is at the root of a shared FastComet domain public_html.
I copied the site and database locally, added a subdirectory and used Store Import to upgrade to 472. It works fine locally. Using wamp64 on a Windows machine.
After copying the subdirectory to the live site, the front end works fine but the admin page won't load. It seems to try to load but the progress circle thingy next to the url in chrome seem to go into an erratic infinite loop until it times out. By that, I mean it doesn't just go round and round a a normal page that take a long time to load does. It starts to do that but then starts over and over again.
I changed the storefront and secure_storefront urls in the cscart_companies table to 'www.domain.com/cscart472'
I've deleted the /var/cache directory,
The php log file is empty.
When I cancel reloading and view source, this all that appear:
In config.local.php, I changed the settings at the bottom of the file to:
//if (PRODUCT_STATUS != '' && !defined('DEVELOPMENT')) {
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', true);
define('DEVELOPMENT', true);
//}
And the endless loop stops and this is the page source:
I added to .htaccess:
RewriteBase /cscart472
No change.
I disabled the seo addon by setting seo status = 'D'
No change.
I tried php versions 70 and 56
php memory_limit is set to 512m
I'm stumped. Got any ideas what else I could try?
