The problem is that I cannot even find the file country_module_list.xml.  Any help would be appreciated.

[shokinro]

this file should be under following folder along with other files.

 

/config/xml/default_country_modules_list.xml

[shokinro]

by the way, the file location is defined in /classes/module/Module.php

 

   const CACHE_FILE_MUST_HAVE_MODULES_LIST = '/config/xml/must_have_modules_list.xml';

 

I think this file will be created and maintained by PrestaShop back office admin page, so please make sure the folder is writable (permission 755).

Please see default_country_modules_list.xml file exist in config/xml folder.

 

If it does not exist, it means permission is not written for config and xml folder.

 

Set permission 777 for these folder and check it.

[preoteasa]

The file default_country_modules_list.xml is in the /config/xml/ folder. I have also setup permission 777 on /config and all subfolders/files, but nothing changed.

[preoteasa]

I removed the file default_country_modules_list.xml, and the problem seems fixed. The file was generated again.

Thank you for your help.

That's very good. Now you can mention [solved] in your post.

 

Thanks

[shokinro]

I guess the file was locked/opened somehow by some other process - that caused it not updating.

[solved]

Is this what you mean? I cannot find anywhere to set the status solved.

I encountered the same problem in one shop of my customers  today 

in this case it was enough to clear cache (adv. parameters> performance)

while we clear cache - prestashop rebuilds these .xml files

Had same problem, Fixed by deleting the old file default_country_modules_list.xml. thank for sharing solution.

It occured here while a server-update with a new linux-version. I think, the creation of that fiile finished in that moment, bit it wasn't completed. Thanks for the solutions here.

I have the problem that admin panel doesn't even open when trying. I opened a ticket with my host's support and they send me on this topic. I followed these steps but nothing changed: renamed (to not delete) the .xml file and checked permission to the folders.

What else could happend?

[juancaco]

Cleaning cache is not an option if access to backend is not possible. The way to go is renaming or deleting default_country_modules_list.xml as I did. It worked and I can now access backend succesfully.

 

Cheers, thank you guys

 

Have a great day

[Claudiocool]

You should try both, one of these solutions will help
