Prestashop adding language issues

[Guest]

Hej Any1

I've just began to use Prestashop as a part of a school project. So I'm pretty new to Prestashop.

The installation completed without trouble and I could login. But when I try to add a language, or if I install a language pack, Prestashop kicks me back to the login screen. when I try to login again I'm getting this . It won't redirect me to the Dashboard. I've tried to reinstall Prestashop a few time, but with same result.

I'm not sure what is going on here.

I can't go to the frontend either.

Any1 else having same experience?

Btw I'm using the last version of Prestashop (1.6.1.5).

 

Best Regards

Hey and thanks

I tried to clean my cookies and tried to access my site from four different browser, but same result.

I should have mentioned it before, but my site is a local project.

 

Did you deleted the install directory at first?

Yes I did deleted it

This looks like the infamous login loop. Try searching the forum for login problems.

 

Symptoms are that you don't get a wrong password message when you type the right password but are yet redirected to the login screen. I don't know a sure solution.

make sure allow_url_fopen is enabled.

 

also you can download the pack locally for install

Thanks for the suggestions, but I figured out it had something to do with the database table prefix.

may i know what was wrong with db prefix? this sounds strange, was this prestashop issue?

[Guest]

Truth to be told, I don't know if the prefix was the real issue.

I've tried to delete Prestashop and its database a number of time and they all had the same database prefix.

But when I changed the prefix to something different the language problem stopped.

Btw here were a few other prefix giving the same issue, but when I found the right one it worked.
