looks like you forgot ssl:/ as protocol in the settings.
See example here https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/7372837/Mail+Settings

do you have fast_checkout extension installed?

you should to run sql queries manually via phpMyAdmin.
Regarding error i guess you should to start since line 1091
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/master/public_html/install/abantecart_database_upgrade.sql#L1091

Do not forget to replace table prefix with yours before

if index does not exists just run this sql and start upgrade process again.

CREATE INDEX `ac_lang_definition_idx` ON `ac_language_definitions` (`language_value`(500) ASC);

Do not forget replace ac_ prefix in the names with yours before.

Paypal Commerce extension do not have a management of your Paypal buttons on checkout form. These buttons loaded from their API, it's a third-party code.
So you should to ask their support team hot to enable venmo button inside your merchant account.

Hi Core Devs,

I've noticed that the stripe_customers, stripe_orders, and task_steps tables were not converted to the InnoDB engine during the upgrade process.

Was this intentional?

not critical, please ignore

probably you don't need to clone template.
You can try our new Novator extender extension to make css overrides

I am also working through problems with upgrade (1.4.2), permissions, as well as ftp unable to log on etc. Abantecart needs to create a better system for upgrading through hosting sites (A2webhosting) if I find anything substantial I will post again....in the mean-time I am also stuck in the ditch....

You see all these permissions "issues" because of security reason. AbanteCart thinks how to forbid injections from other hosting providers accounts and other worms.
If we made easy upgrade this mean weak defense. What do you prefer, easy upgrade or weak defense?
Please provide how do you see upgrade process. We'll try to make it better

Hello,

I tired to upgrading from V.1.4.1 to V. 1.4.2 but i couldn't and got next error log and screenshot.


2025-05-02 19:54:07 - Unknown Error: AbanteCart core v.1.4.1 SQL-ERROR: "array (
'error_text' => 'Can\'t DROP INDEX `fuw2_lang_definition_idx`; check that it exists',
'errno' => 1091,
)" in /core/lib/package_manager.php on line 832
What shall I do in my case?

this index must be presents in your language_definition table.
See 1.4.1 install.sql script, line 983 https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/blob/1.4.1/public_html/install/abantecart_database.sql#L983

To solve just create it manually via phpMyAdmin and run upgrade again

hi,
it's a db skeleton for extensions

Sorry if I'm missing something but I have permissions set properly according to that article.

php files set to 644
folders set to 755

Should I just turn off message notifications? Or is there actually something incorrect about my permission settings?

try to set 444 for php files

https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/3473448/Warning+Incorrect+file+permissions

You should to ask your hosting provider why they disabled function proc_open() on your host.  Some hosting providers do that by security reasons.
Or ask them how to enable it via cPanel.
Also you can try to setup dsn inside your system/config.php file and change mailer setting on admin-side to "take from config"


// details about allowed DSN settings  https://symfony.com/doc/6.0/mailer.html#transport-setup
const MAILER = [
    //'dsn' => null,
    // OR
    'protocol' => 'smtp', // or ses+smtp, gmail+smtp, mandrill+smtp, mailgun+smtp, mailjet+smtp, postmark+smtp, sendgrid+smtp, sendinblue+smtp, ohmysmtp+smtp
    //we use "username" also as ID, KEY, API_TOKEN, ACCESS_KEY
    'username' => 'merchant@yourdomain.com',
    'password' => '****super-secret-password****',
    'host'     => 'your-hostname',
    'port'     => 465 //or 587 etc
];

Thank you

Can you help me with debugging?
Please replace your file public_html/core/lib/mail.php

Then replicate the error and post error message here.
Thank you.
