PrestaShop™ 1.4.0.14 Generating .htaccess produces a PHP Fatal error / 500 Internal Server Error / 404

[Billy]

Ok this is a fresh install with innoDB toggled, Apache2, PHP Version: 5.2.16, MySQL Version: 5.1.54-log

This is what I found in the log file
---
[27-Feb-2011 02:57:52] PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function display() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/classes/FrontController.php on line 278

Now I can regain control of my BO by deleting the .htacess file but the url for the FO keeps going to...
---
http://xxxxxx.co/en/

Not Found

The requested URL /en/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas???

Thanks you a lot for your report but yes it has been fixed for the next release. The cause was sample data for url rewrite wasn't correct.

This quick fix can solve your problem :

open classes/Tools.php

find line 1571-1572 :

                foreach (Meta::getMetasByIdLang($language['id_lang']) as $key => $meta)
                   if (!empty($meta['url_rewrite']))

replace by (only 1572 changed):

                foreach (Meta::getMetasByIdLang($language['id_lang']) as $key => $meta)
                   if (!empty($meta['url_rewrite']) AND Validate::isLinkRewrite($meta['url_rewrite']))

this wont work...

i got a php error on every front office page after activating the url rewriting on RC6

[jacky75]

In RC6 there were still present some wrong predefined data about predefined rewrite (e.g. rewrite with spaces or special characters in Italian). To solve you have to change or remove all wrong info before generating the .htaccess.
But, please note from this morning is available the 1.4 stable version, so.. try with that one before.

i'm using the lastest version 1.4.0.17

what must i do ???

[jacky75]

to solve the issue in previous version I made the following: use only the languages you need and then in the Back office, preferences, SEO, modify the url rewritten with spaces on special characters. Check all enable languages. If also in 1.4.0.17 the error is related with sample data, you could solve it.

re generated htaccess without url rewriting. now front office loads but only after i click on index.php. also, front office displays following error"We're sorry, but the Web address you entered is no longer available" and it's not actually the home page. did not attempt to implement the rewrite of Tools.php as the lines in file were different(maybe wrong prestashop vrs, for that fix) i'm on a shared server so i can't change the Mbstring option in apache as per bug report resolution. is there a patch available or can i change some code somewhere? thanks in advance
