AlighaThor Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi everyone. I cannot uninstall/deactivate modules in my BackOffice in Prestashop 1.7.5.1. Some red strange error pops up with: Error! Could not perform action disable for module undefined In some other site I read it may be folders permissions problem. I'm on a shared hosting. I have checked, and all my folders are 755 and files 644. I managed to do it simply by renaming the module's folder I want to deactivate. But I'm unware of what's happening with the normal options in the BackOffice. Thanks in advance. Good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janett Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Problem come from cache, on uninstall a module, Prestashop try to clear cache. If cache is big, process to clear cache can be too long due to high amount of files to delete or if you have a quota of IO (read/write limitation on disk). So cache is not cleared entirely and this can cause some problems like this one. Try to delete every folders and files inside /var/cache/ and Prestashop will regenerate them properly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlighaThor Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hi Jannet! Thanks for your reply. So, it is safe to delete this /var/cache folder? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janett Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) It's 100% safe to delete, rename it to cache_old is totally useless, PrestaShop will regenerate all files in cache Remember what I say, do not delete /var/cache/ but all files and folders INSIDE Edited May 24, 2019 by Janett (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlighaThor Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks @Janett, it worked. BTW, before I deleted them, I noticed two folders: DEV, and PROD. Now I only got PROD. I assume that DEV is created when I set the Developer Debug mode in the BackOffice, right? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leozhang84 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 some people didnt solve module undefined problem after delete file in cache. Pls notice the following setting backoffice/Advanced Parameter/Smarty/Template compilation - force compilation. Clear cache - Clear cache everytime something has been modified.

To manually delete the module I believe I need to remove the folder and the entries from the database. Never done the latter, first need to find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
