Support / Re: Upgrade to AbanteCart 1.4....
Last post by Ali Arslan - June 27, 2025, 09:31:33 AMThank you for the response earlier.
Just following up on this issue regarding the failed upgrade to v1.4.2 due to the DROP INDEX IF EXISTS syntax. As mentioned, our MySQL server version is 8.0.38, which supports this syntax yet the upgrade still fails with the SQL error referencing:
DROP INDEX IF EXISTS `ab_lang_definition_idx` ON `ab_language_definitions`

Tips and Tricks / Exploring Cursor AI for Clonin...
Last post by Basara - June 27, 2025, 09:08:58 AMHi everyone! 👋
I've been experimenting with Cursor AI to clone the Novator theme into a new extension for AbanteCart. The process involves copying PHP, SQL, and XML files, updating paths, class names, and layout configs etc.
It worked quite well, but as Cursor AI adapts based on the input, I'm curious:
👉 What prompts or approaches have you tried when using AI tools with AbanteCart?
👉 Any tips for improving the cloning process or making templates more flexible with AI?
Would love to hear your experiences, suggestions, or even test cases!

Support / Upgrade to AbanteCart 1.4.2 Fa...
Last post by Ali Arslan - June 27, 2025, 04:22:46 AMHello,
While attempting to upgrade the core from version 1.4.1 to 1.4.2, we are encountering a critical SQL syntax error during the upgrade process. The upgrade consistently fails with the following error logged:
SQL-ERROR: "You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'IF EXISTS `ab_lang_definition_idx` ON `ab_language_definitions`' at line 1"
The error is being triggered from:
/core/lib/package_manager.php on line 832
This suggests that the upgrade process is executing a DROP INDEX IF EXISTS statement, which appears to be incompatible with the current MySQL server version.
Request for Support:
Could the team or anyone from the community kindly advise:
Where exactly this DROP INDEX IF EXISTS statement is being generated from during the upgrade?
If this is a known issue in the 1.4.2 upgrade package?
Recommended approach to prevent this SQL error and complete the upgrade successfully?
Looking forward to any guidance or a possible patch from the core team.

Support / Re: 403 error only for the set...
Last post by barricademan - June 24, 2025, 09:08:00 AMI did find and fix the problem. It was in fact a false positive between Abantecart and Mod_Security.
There were three wrong permissions,
The permissions could not be reset with ftp, they had to be changed using the Terminal.
Although I'm happy that I fixed it, maybe this post will help someone in the future, I've decided to delete Abantecart due to the lack of resources available for free. I feel that Abantecart would have been so more popular if the resources were more widely available as they are for other shopping cart platforms.
There were three wrong permissions,
- Index.php inside the root directory
- Vendor Folder
- System/config.php

Last post by Basara - June 24, 2025, 02:29:24 AMHello.
Based on your description, it does sound like a Web Application Firewall (WAF) configuration issue. Most often, it is related to ModSecurity or similar server-side security rules.
Temporarily disable ModSecurity again, and this time wait at least 1 hour before testing the admin settings area.
If the issue still persists after that, it's best to reach out to your hosting provider's support team.

Support / 403 error only for the setting...
Last post by barricademan - June 23, 2025, 01:24:22 PMI'm getting a 403 error (forbidden) only when editing the settings inside the admin area.
I checked the .htaccess, everything seems to ok.
Turned off Mod_Security - did not fix it, turned it back on
changed php version to 8.2 instead of 8.4, did not fix the problem
within the error message, it also states this: Please be advised that LiteSpeed Technologies Inc. is not a web hosting company and, as such, has no control over content found on this site.
This is a new install
I can't be the only person experiencing this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
