Paypal Fatal error

[cindy.yu]

Hi

 

I newly installed Prestashop 1.5.5.0, which has built-in PayPal Europe.

 

But when I click "install", it get below fatal error. Anything wrong?

 

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module paypal:
syntax error, unexpected T_SL

The following module(s) could not be loaded::
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name
    [paypal] An error was found in config file: StartTag: invalid element name

 

Then I use FTP to delete all files under module/PayPal. I download V3.5.9 PayPal from Prestashop Add-on page and want to upload to newly install it. But couldn't upload. Above error shows up again.

 

Please find below screen shot. Under Paypal in Module, there is no icon like "configuration", "delete", "enable" etc.

 

Thanks

I have the same problem, 

 

Downloaded the latest version of PS 1.5.5. and installed a fresh install then tried to install the paypal module 3.5.9 and hit the same error. Does anybody know how to fix this ?

Hi

 

Just wonder if you also installed a free URL rewriting module "cleanurls_v0.4.2.zip" through forum: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/204935-override-friendly-urls-without-id-number-for-v15/

 

It is the only module I have set up before I configure PayPal, except default theme built-in moduls

 

To test if it is the problem, I remove the module and delete all files it has generated. The error is still there.

 

I think this might be the cause. See attachment. PayPal cannot set up its folder "PayPal" under /module. One folder with a long numeric name (like "71934cf140c9781f704ea030c597bc3c")  will take place. PayPal is installed under this folder.

 

All other payment gateway can NOT be installed either. Really a big headache!

 

Thank you

CIndy, 

 

as I have said I did a fresh install and no other modules were turned on. Paypal was the first module I wanted to install. 

 

I didn't install a URL Rewriting module but I do have the Friendly URL turned on. So I tried disabling the Friendly URL still the error is there but the below error is what I get when I click install

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module paypal:
syntax error, unexpected '<<' (T_SL)

I have the same problem..; Any solutions?

[Kahndryl]

I solved my problem by deleting the cache and forcing the recompilation

[archproject]

Kahndryl,

 

How did you did it again ? I tried Clearing the Smarty cache and enabling the force compile but the paypal error is still there.

Hi,

 

You must delete all directories who have paypal from module directory + cleaning the smarty cache + force compile and test on an other web navigator...?

Hi

 

Thanks, Kahndry1. After I did everything, problem still exists for me and couldn't find a solution in forum or Google.

 

Now, I give up "PayPal Europe". If I never touch this module, then everything goes fine for my site. Maybe it is the module problem.

 

To enable PayPal gateway in my site, I find a useful module "Agile PayPal" in paid module in this forum.

 

My problem should be solved soon.
