Hello,

No one have a solution for this error ?

The error message indicates that PrestaShop is trying to generate a URL for the route "admin_mbo_catalog_module", but the route doesn't exist in your system. This is usually related to the Marketplace in Back Office (MBO) module.

Possible Causes & Solutions:

1. MBO Module Not Installed or Disabled

The admin_mbo_catalog_module route is part of the PrestaShop MBO module, which is responsible for integrating PrestaShop with the module marketplace.

✅ Solution:
Check if the module is installed and enabled:

• Go to Modules > Module Manager
• Look for Marketplace in Back Office (MBO)
• If it’s disabled, enable it.
• If it’s missing, install it from the official PrestaShop Addons marketplace.

2. Cache Issue

PrestaShop might not have correctly updated the available routes.

✅ Solution:

• Clear the cache by going to Advanced Parameters > Performance and clicking Clear cache.
• If that doesn't work, manually delete cache files:

Then refresh the back office.

3. Module Corruption or Incomplete Installation

If the MBO module is installed but still causing issues, it might be corrupted or outdated.

✅ Solution:

• Uninstall and reinstall the MBO module.

4. Routing Issue in PrestaShop

Sometimes, routes are not properly generated or refreshed.

✅ Solution:

Run this command in your PrestaShop root directory:

• bash
• CopyEdit
• php bin/console cache:clear
• If you're using PrestaShop 1.7 or newer, try:
• bash
• CopyEdit
• php bin/console debug:router | grep mbo
• This will list available routes related to MBO.

5. Version Conflict (PrestaShop Upgrade Issue)

If you recently upgraded PrestaShop, the MBO module version might not be compatible.

✅ Solution:

• Check your PrestaShop version and install the correct MBO module version.
• If needed, download the latest version from PrestaShop Addons.

6. Manually Register the Route (Advanced)

If you suspect the route is missing, you can manually check and register it in:

• config/routes.yml
• config/routes/admin.yml

Thanks @El Patron for your reply very complete (can you share which IA generated this pretty text please?)

I try different solutions but it's not working for me. I tried to install ps_mbo module from GitHub but I have another error which is a little bit different (there are an underscore at the beginning of the route name): 

An exception has been thrown during the rendering of a template ("Unable to generate a URL for the named route "_admin_mbo_catalog_module" as such route does not exist.").

Thanks for your help

I recommend asking chat gpt, else if you do not receive help in forum you can post in job forum....for debugger there is more information  required,  ps / php versions etc..

if you  try to install and get error, then it would seem tech hands on is better approach.  else post new post, with your shops specific versions etc....fior best community support 'always' open a new topic rather than use existing post.
