[solved] Restoring backup failed. Need help.


Recommended Posts

My 1-click upgrade from 1.4.3 to 1.5.4.1 failed and the rollback didn't work so I have had to resort to restoring the backup of my 1.4.3 site which I had saved to my hard drive.

 

However it doesn't work, I have the back office but the front office does not load. My site has been down 3 days and I'm stressed! The shop has been up for two years and has many products.

 

I followed the Manual Update documentation (http://doc.prestasho...?pageId=5374295) but when deleting my server files some files remained, 'access denied' in Filezilla.

 

So I contacted my Hosting company and they changed the PHP 5 support from 'run as an apache module' to run as a CGI application'. I was then able to delete the remaining folders and make the full upload of my backup. However my site still still not work, no front or back office, so I changed the PHP 5 support back to 'run as an Apache module' and then the back office worked but still not the front office.

 

I would appreciate any assistance urgently!

 

 

I also get these errors in the Configuration tab but I have set all folders to 755 and files to 644:

Thanks Alexander.

 

My Hosting provider showed me the error logs:

I have changed the smarty folder to have 777 and 755 and it still does not work.

Can you or anyone else assist?

My site is working again. I manually uploaded a backup from my hard drive then changed the server PHP5 setting to 'Run as Apache module' and that solved it.
