Hello,

 I am being told by my webhost that my site cannot get the permissions 777 or 775 because I will be hacked. They are requesting I asked for the specific permissions breakdown that I should have.  Currently the issue is I cannot import/export, or update anything within the website as I keep getting this error:

Temporary Directory /home/heartpetsupply/public_html/admin/system/data/ is not writable! Please change permissions to proceed.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

hello AbanteCart Team,

can you tell me what to do to remove the Physical Address from the settings in the contact us webpage?  because there is an option for working remotely and all jobs done online from desktop.

Thank you,  I had made a significant contribution, however I never received any type of receipt, which is beneficial for my business tracking. If and when receipts are automatically sent to contributors after they contribute,  I will again contribute. Having said that I appreciate all your work and for all of those in the open source world.

Hello.
One important thing to note is that when you clone an AbanteCart site and switch to a new domain, the installation ID remains the same unless manually updated. This can cause conflicts with your AbanteCart Marketplace account, especially for purchased extensions. The marketplace checks both the domain and installation ID for license validation, so mismatches can result in unexpected behavior or license errors.

After cloning and updating the domain in your settings, it’s also essential to:
Clear the AbanteCart cache to remove any stored data tied to the old domain.
Reconnect or reconfigure services that rely on domain-specific callbacks or credentials, such as PayPal, Stripe, ElasticSearch, and others.

Hoping this message still gets some recognition. As this post is relevant to the problem we have with inodes filling up on our hosting site. However the script in this message is not a link just text. Anyone know where we can find this clear_cache.sh ?
Thank You,

Hello.
Can you tell which version of AbanteCart you're using and the number of products you have?
You can create the clean_cache.php script like this
<?php
// File: /home/public_html/clean_cache.php

$cacheDir = __DIR__ . '/system/cache';

// Ensure the directory exists
if (!is_dir($cacheDir)) {
    exit("Cache directory not found: $cacheDir\n");
}

$files = scandir($cacheDir);
foreach ($files as $file) {
    // Keep index.html and skip . / ..
    if ($file === '.' || $file === '..' || $file === 'index.html') {
        continue;
    }

    $filePath = $cacheDir . '/' . $file;

    if (is_file($filePath)) {
        unlink($filePath);
    } elseif (is_dir($filePath)) {
        deleteDirectory($filePath);
    }
}

// Recursive deletion function
function deleteDirectory($dir) {
    $items = array_diff(scandir($dir), ['.', '..']);
    foreach ($items as $item) {
        $path = "$dir/$item";
        is_dir($path) ? deleteDirectory($path) : unlink($path);
    }
    return rmdir($dir);
}
and set a CRON job to run it like
*/6 * * * * /usr/bin/php /home/public_html/clean_cache.php >/dev/null 2>&1
