Shop doesn't show up after migration

[dogiecutiepie]

I've done everything I'm supposed to do best to my knowledge, however after migrating my shop from an online hosting service to my offline local host machine, the shop only reports this error instead:

"Internal Server Error

 

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

 

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

 

More information about this error may be available in the server error log."

 

So I then went to check the error log of my Apache, it says this:

 

[Fri Jul 05 07:42:03 2013] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/z154/.htaccess: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters, referer: http://localhost/z154/xm503/index.php?controller=AdminMeta&token=a5eaa54d506ca18cb6700ef3afce7417

[Fri Jul 05 07:45:58 2013] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/z154/.htaccess: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters

[Fri Jul 05 07:46:05 2013] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/z154/.htaccess: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters

[Fri Jul 05 07:46:09 2013] [alert] [client 127.0.0.1] C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/z154/.htaccess: RewriteCond: bad flag delimiters

 

What is wrong? I have modified my settings.ini file, modified the .sql file (changed all the xyz.com to localhost) before loading into the local machine, also deleted all files except index.php in the smarty cache folder.

 

Do I need to be connected to the internet for prestashop migration to work? I'm on 1.5.4 now, previous versions of 1.5.3 didn't have this issue. My local machine is windows XP on Apache 2.2 and PHP 5, MySQL 5.

 

Please help.

THanks!

Hi,

 

go to config/defines and allow showing errors from off to on

 

@ini_set('display_errors', 'off'); 

TO

@ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); 

 

This way I could help.

Have you edit the URL in config/settings.inc.php? Have you changed the URL in database?

[vekia]

it looks like the problem is strictly related to the .htaccess file

what kind of software you use on localhost ? xampp? wamp?
