paypal image on home page - URL link going to an error page if clicked help

[kpresta]

First time installer/user of prestashop – but I’ve downloaded the latest release, and actually done 3 full installs now. I’ve removed my database, all ftp files, and still get the same error when I enable the paypal module from the back end of prestashop.

modules/paypal/about.php – is the path to the file ( on the store home page – right hand side, there is a paypal image. If you click it, it goes to that directory)

The about.php file is in that paypal directory, but it errors if you try to click the paypal icon on the screen.

I am beyond frustrated. Can someone please inform me of what can be done to resolve this, or ditch prestashop?

I have the same problem, aind with sent to friend module too, i read in web that we need to change permissions files to 644 and dirs to 755, i have done this allready, but still not working...

I've seen this problem on a site I have now...usually related to file permissions this sort of error. I'll try and fix it and let you know.

EDIT - SOLVED: it is indeed file permissions. I logged in via SHELL access using Mac Terminal.
I ran the following two commands in the modules directory...

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

This sets all directories to 755 and files to 644. You can also do it for individual files too.

that it!
755 -dirds
644 - files
for all

Thanks!
