Modules missing after installing 1.6.0.9

[fordtman]

I have just installed PrestaShop Version 1.6.0.9 on a local host (Xampp) and evwerything seems to run correctly except when I try to display modules in the backend (modules->modules). I get an "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error" (The website cannot display the page). Was there something missing in the install? Modules->Modules & Themes Catalogue works correctly.

 

I found this URL posted by Paulito on another post showing the list of modules I should see http://screencast.com/t/5qq8l3SsnHp5. However this does not happen. Could someone tell me what is missing.

posting that you get blank page or 500 error is not enough information, I think once you get underlying error you solve no problem.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I guess my post was not clear enough. The error reported is "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error", the page is not blank and the message on the page says "The website cannot display the page". When I click on Module->Modules in the backend the URL it generates is "http://localhost/prestashop/g&cadmin/index.php?controller=AdminModules&token=67fa71df342d255c08b558f02540cfc7" which results in the 500 error. An edited full description of the message which appears on the page is:

 

The website cannot display the page
                                                                                            HTTP 500

 Most likely causes:

The website is under maintenance.

The website has a programming error.

 What you can try:

Refresh the page.Refresh the page.

Go back to the previous page.Go back to the previous page.

More information

 

It appears to be looking for the directory containing the modules which in this instance is directly under the PrestaShop top directory i.e. PrestaShop->Modules.

 

 I will try your suggestion of turning on debugging and do a crash course in PHP programming so I can debug PrestaShop which I don't believe I should have to do.

I was getting the same thing. I solved this by screwing around with the settings on my server, I have no idea what I did to make that go away but now IIS is not playing nice with the mod_rewrite.

Now that I have turned on error reporting I get the following error information :

 

Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: Unable to load template file 'controllers/modules/modal_not_trusted_country.tpl' <-- thrown in D:\Xampp\htdocs\Prestashop\tools\smarty\sysplugins\smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 129
[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module smarty_internal_templatebase:
Uncaught --> Smarty: Unable to load template file 'controllers/modules/modal_not_trusted_country.tpl' <-- thrown

 

Having just started looking into PrestaShop to see if it has any advantages over Joomla! the error message doesn't mean much to me at present, but I will persist. When I installed PrestaShop an admin directory called G&CAdmin was created, there is also a PrestShop/admin directory that appears to contain the same directory structure. (Question: Does anybody know when/how G&CAdmin is created (in addition to PrestaShop/admin)?). Anyway moving right along, the module 'modal_not_trusted_country.tpl' does not appear in the G&CAdmin/themes/defaults/template/controllers/modules directory as it does in the admin/.... version therefore I copied the file modal_not_trusted_country.tpl from admin/........controllers/modules into the G&CAdmin/......./controllers/modules directory and lo and behold the error disappeared. Perhaps the PrestaShop team should fix this problem with the missing 'modal_not_trusted_country.tpl' file ????

 

Is there any documentation on the web that provides an internal walkthrough showing how PrestaShop works as there is for Joomla! I have purchased the only two books that appear to be available for PrestaShop (PrestaShop for Developers and PrestaShop v1.6 Under the Hood....) but  they leave a lot to be desired.
