product page is blank what have I done?!


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody

I have been in prestashop back office to try and rectify a problem I have as customers cannot leave comments on my website. As far as I can see, everything is ok and it is activated. I accidentally went into products category instead of products comments and I updated. I also saw a facility for hooking, but I don't think I interferred with this. Like a bull in a china shop in the back office :(
Anyway, the product comments still don't work and now when I click on a product on the live site it goes to an empty page. What the heck have I done??
Please help, as now, customers cannot open pages for products. Disaster!!
Thank you in advance for any advice

Thank you dioniz so much for replying, I am here biting my nails (and a few tears).

I am completely NULL at this stuff, I have managed my website and built it
with basic knowledge and talent, so what you have written I really don't

understand, sorry !!
You'll have to explain as if to a 10 year old child please :) this will probably save my life

Ok you need to download and open file located in "yourdomain/config/defines.inc.php" with some text editor.

 

In that file you need to find this line of code:

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', false);

and change it to:

define('_PS_MODE_DEV_', true);

and upload file again.

 

This will hopefully show error on your page

I am wasting your time, I don't even know where to find

 yourdomain/config/defines.inc.php

or I am being completely thick and yourdomain = my domain name

 

tried this and page couldn't be found, removed www. and then it said forbidden

 

I can't do this :( 

 

In fact, I need to find a webmaster

repeat after me, yes you can.

 

use ftp or file manager in your hosting account

 

the file path is config/defines.inc.php 

 

this is an important new learning that will serve you well in the future, there are loads of little things to learn to run a website.

thank you very much gentlemen for your valuable advice and encouragement, the problem is now fixed (not by me unfortunately, there may be many things to learn with running a website but I have neither the time nor the inclination to do this, I have found an expert, like your good selves, to help me)
