Wrong path error

[phonestreet]

Hello there,

I have succesfully installed prestashop but when I try to log in to the back end i get the following error message

There is 1 error
1.Path is not the same between your browser and you server :

- Server:
home/phonestr/public_html/admin_PS/login.php

- Browser:
~phonestr//admin_PS/login.php

It seems that it is a common fault with the code or something. Can someone advise me on what to do. I cant even log into the back end to try and enlist any sub domains.

Thanks

It is normal for that to happen when you are using a URL like 10.20.30.40/~username. Once you use a domain name instead of the temporary URL, the error message will go away.

Hello, I have completey removed prestashop from my hosting and starting from scratch. I tried to login via the actual domain name aswell e.g. www.phonestreet.co.uk/adminxxx and still got the same error message

That's weird. When I encountered this issue before, using a domain name made the message go away. Edit config/settings.inc.php and make sure the __PS_BASE_URI__ is / not //

I can't think of anything else that would cause that error. Luckily, you can ignore the error and most things should work fine. I think it is just filtering in the Back Office that won't work.

I came across a similar problem - my Apache uses Virtualhosts.
As default, there was "VirtualDocumentRoot" parameter configured only.
That was causing the similar error message.
The problem dissappeared after I set the "DocumentRoot" parameter as well.
The thing is Prestashop uses DocumentRoot variable, not VirtualDocumentRoot.

Hi! I am also getting the same message... but with some other problems. I have relocated my installation to another server... I am using a temporary address (i.e http://91.186.29.83/~dorsetho/shop/) until I know that the whole installation is working on that sever and then I will point the domain towards that installation. My problem lies with the site not displaying any images or using any theme settings. I just get a plain text version of the site. Also, I can't log into the back office. All I did was copy the files over to the new server, import the database and edit the settings.inc file to update with the new database details. Any ideas?

Ok.... sussed the problem with the images and themes.... I was missing a / on the settings file. However, I still can't log into the back office or as a customer. Is this normal until I access using the correct domain name or am I missing something?
