Index of /prestashop

[silversurfer5150]

Hey there,

I am trying to install the 1.4 beta and I am getting the strangest problem, everything installs fine and I can get into the back office but everytime I try to view the shop font, it just brings up the directory structure in the browser

Index of /prestashop etc etc

what on earth is happening? Why can I access the back and not the front?

Any help much appreciated
thanks

1. maybe it's just a cache issue
2. maybe it's a problem with the server configuration

going to /index.php works fine? have you tried a different browser?

[silversurfer5150]

Hey no,
I've cleared the cache, testing locally on apache atm, I am just about to upload it to try remotely

[Radu]

in http.conf of apache what DirectoryIndex variable say?

[silversurfer5150]

Hey thank you
yes it says,

DirectoryIndex index.html

but I am not using that folder as I want to test other things on this server so
my prestashop root my path is:

http://localhost/prestashop/admin***/index.php for the back office and that works fine, I have also tested version 1.3 and the front end on that works fine too, maybe it is a bug with the beta version, but why haven't other people said anything?

[Radu]

not sure, anyway DirectoryIndex index.html should be at least DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
than restart the browser.

just for curiosity let me know if it works

[silversurfer5150]

Hey there it is now completely blank, no directory tree or anything just a blank browser page and yet again I can view the back office fine

[Radu]

maybe there is an error in your index.php of presta? have you tried in config/config.inc.php to enable errors reporting?: @ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

[silversurfer5150]

Hey there ,
yes we now have
Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_convert_encoding() in C:\server\htdocs\prestashop\classes\Tools.php on line 1508

[Radu]

that's the problem actually.
to solve it locally (on remote it will work), enable mbstring php extension (inside your php.ini you'll find a commented line.)
restart the webserver afterwards

[silversurfer5150]

Hey I can't thank you enough, really, I have been at this since 3pm !

Thanks Radu, you the man!

[Radu]

you're very welcome

I have been having the same problem for weeks. I found this thread and I got real excited I was going to get the homepage to work. I took your advice and changed the php string in the php.ini file.

However, I still get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mb_convert_encoding() in /home/icsportp/public_html/classes/Tools.php on line 1503


In my php.in file I think I have everything correct. Can you be more specific of where to turn on the mbstring???

[Radu]

aee156, have you solved your issue? I wrote you a PM how to turn on mbstring extension. Are you on linux or windows?

[aee156]

No it did not solve my issue. I am on a linux server

the site I am working on is http://www.icsportsandpromotions.com/index.php

I have a index.html file and when the .php files throws an error it goes to the .html file automatically. When I delete the index.html file I get an error like one that says tools/page on line 1503 still. Any other ideas??? I have been stuck like this for three weeks searching for an answer.

Should I reinstall the software and try again with the php.ini file edit?

Also, one other thing I had a ? About/

In prestashop it seems it always says tax included. Cant I have the tax shown and added to the order once they click the checkout button. This way my price will look lower until they click checkout.

[Radu]

in linux is different like on windows you can check what is stated here: http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=873543
if it's not your server than contact your host to enable mbstring.

Please note that the solution provided above with whm involves recompiling php so the server will be down a little.
