I follow the developer guide and the step two say go to the site "http://myprestashop.com/api/" in my case it's

"Localhost/prestashop/api", but when i try to go a message show error 404 page not found. I have looking in google

for days but I don't find a solution.

Hi, did you ever get this figured out?

[El Patron]

solved.

 

I had been meaning to enable mod_rewrite on my localhost for 'ages'. This is required for PresaShop Webservices, now working perfectly..

 

rock on

[guybrush07]

there is no "Localhost/prestashop/api" folder where did u enable permittions mod_rewrite!

[El Patron]

you have to enable mod_rewrite on your localhost apache server...if you don't know how to do this...use google, don't search in prestashop...once you have the mod rewrite turned on...you should be able to use the webservice on your localhost

Hi All,

I am also facing the same issue with prestashop_1.5.4.1.I have checked my httpd.conf file AllowOverride is configureed as all

still i am not able to access the webservices.Please see the below some part of my my httpd.conf file.

===========================================

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">

#

# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",

# or any combination of:

# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews

#

# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"

# doesn't give it to you.

#

# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see

# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options

# for more information.

#

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

 

#

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.

# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:

# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

#

AllowOverride all

 

#

# Controls who can get stuff from this server.

#

 

# onlineoffline tag - don't remove

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from 127.0.0.1

 

</Directory>

=======================================

When i try to access the webservice using url http://localhost/prestashop/api or http://127.0.0.1/ps1541/api/

I am getting page not found error i am getting instead of web service response.

It should be great someone please guide me to fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Hi NAveen,

 

you need to have the mod_rewrite module loaded by apache.

 

search outside of ps for how to do this as it's not related to ps and you will get better results.

Hi EI Partron,

 

Thanks for the update.Now i got the answer -how to load mod_rewrite module by apache

 

To enable those modules,

Left click on wamp tray icon -> Apache -> Apache modules -> rewrite_module (server restart)

 

This solved the problem.

 

Thanks for your suggestion.
