(4) changed my database to one provided by eu5org

 

result from host

500 Internal Server Error

 

For security reasons, we no longer allow custom Options for .htaccess file.

Just comment out the lines starting with Options, php_value or php_flag and your script will work without problem.

 

Possible reasons:

1. Bad .htaccess file - you must remove .htaccess file until you find and solve YOUR errors.

2. MySQL database server is restarting. Wait few minutes and, if error persists, contact us. Be sure that you don't have a bad .htaccess file somewhere!!

I guess your host doesn't allow you to make your own .htaccess file ?

 

If so you won't be able to use things like friendly urls and other features

I believe the .htaccess files are required by Prestashop to work.

 

Have you tried something like Wordpress on your host to see if that works?

[sddqshahid]

i dont think that .htaccess is the prob coz by reading ur reply, i deleted the file from my localhost folder & cleared cache, but still the shop is working on my localhost.

thinking of doing it allover again, setting shop directly on host, but i dont know about how to export my shop which i have setup on localhost

about wordpress, i'm completely new about all this stuff & i have spent more than a month setting up my shop on PS. i dont have much knowledge about development to try new stuff

sorry & thanks

Good idea - try a fresh install on your host direct and see how you get on

Hello,

Just jumping in to confirm you both that .htaccess is not needed at all for prestashop to work unlike PHP5.

However if you try to use the friendly urls that won't work if that makes any sense.

 

About your problem waiting for me to have some time to write a comprehensive and synthetic tutorial for everyone to read, you may find what you are looking for in that thread of mine discussing about cloning a shop.

 

Note that you require some skills to be able to do such a thing, I mean you at least need to know what the functions are for.

 

Anyway, hope this helps.

 

Cheers!

Thanks for the heads up re the .htaccess

 

I know some hosts require some settings within a .htaccess to get PHP5 to work etc
