!SOLVED! 500 Server Error on Fresh Installation FRONT OFFICE ONLY


Recommended Posts

Fresh Install of Prestashop 1.4 Final (1.4.0.17), installed OK no problems, Back Office works perfect, Front Office will not load, get 500 Server Error

Tried both with and without a blank .htaccess in the root, also tried after using the back office to generate the .htaccess

Server is a physical box running:

CentOS 5.5
WHM & cPanel 11.28.27
Apache/2.2.17 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.3.6
MySQL 5.1.56

Thanks.

Hi

I am having the same problem as you. I can log into the backend but the front end does not load in IE and in opera it just says this page object has moved. My database is on a hosting package and I am very new to PHP. How do I install mbstrings?

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Did you check the file permissions?

While you have your FTP connected to your Web hosting server, make sure the following PrestaShop folders have ‘write’ permissions (also known as “CHMOD 777” – explanation of file permissions here) but do not apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /config, /upload, /download, /tools/smarty/compile. Then make sure the following folders have ‘write’ permissions and apply these permissions recursively (to their subfolders): /img, /mails, /modules, /themes/prestashop/lang, /translations

Got it, SOLVED!

Found a thread elsewhere by accident that explained a similar problem, the result was that Apache had not been compiled with mbstring support, so I recompiled and added that package and the sites working now.


Could you please explain what is needed to change to obtain the same result as you?

Reading more threads, seems like this problem can be solved by installing mbstrings on Apache server.

The point is: How to install mbstrings if you can't, for example, ask the administrator?

Is there any way to do that using the .htaccess file?
A line added to code, maybe?

Thank anyone for answering this.
