500 error when viewing contents of cart (except when empty)

[40grid]

I looked around to see if the same issue was posted, but didnt find a post of this issue.

 

in both 1.5 & 1,5,1 I've been having this problem:

 

500 error when viewing contents of cart. If the cart is empty there is no problem and it displays properly, but when there are items in the cart I get the 500 error.

 

Checked it in chrome, FF and opera.

 

Attempts to resolve:

I tried changing permissions on order.php (and other files with "order") and on files in a folder (i cant remember) that had files containing "cart".

 

I dont know what else I should try. In "configuration checklist" on admin home page I have yellow alert/warning for "smarty optimization". Thats the only warning I have.

 

Since this doesnt seem to be a common thing, anybody got any ideas?

 

BTW: Its not on my live shop. I decided to test it out before upgrading on the live shop, which is 1.4x.

 

I can understand if this is some kind of compatibility detail that will eventually get worked out, but i figure that getting a customer to/thru checkout is a pretty important step

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Hi,

try to edit /config/defines.inc.php , change define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

then you should be able to debug a problem...
