Thank You for your reply Obalabo.

I went back to an earlier version, before my previous attemp to upgrade. But that just created an even bigger list of problems..

Anyway to remove the columns first and duplicate and rebuild new column..

It's not going very well :0(

I might have to start from the beginning.

Looks like you had ran upgrade twice.
Your database structure now under v1.4.2, but php code is 1.4.1.
Just restore database from backup and run upgrade again

General Support / Upgrade 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 error

Last post by MGBReg - August 08, 2025, 04:37:56 AM

I sorted a few errors whilst trying to upgrade& found answers within the support forum.

Now I have a different error (below) and I cannot find anything similar within the forum.

2025-08-08 9:56:02 - Unknown Error: AbanteCart core v.1.4.1 SQL-ERROR: "array (
'error_text' => 'Duplicate column name \'supplier_code\'',
'errno' => 1060,
)" in /homepages/10/d********/htdocs/mgbregalia/core/lib/package_manager.php on line 832

Any ideas?

Regards

I can only say that I know next to nothing about Apache server files and editing .htaccess files so I haven't touched them at all. please help. 

Hi, this error depends on your current apache version.
Thank you for your report. Good catch.

To solve try to replace content of file C:/wamp64/www/abantecart/admin/.htaccess with this:

Code Select Expand

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    # Apache 2.2
    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    # Apache 2.4+
    <FilesMatch "\.php$">
        Require all denied
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

and tell us result. If all fine we'll give you instruction what other places should be edited.

Thank you.

AI for AbanteCart Ecommerce / Got an Idea? Build and Sell I...

Last post by Basara - August 06, 2025, 04:51:01 AM

Hi everyone!

I just published a new video tutorial that walks through how to build and customize an AbanteCart theme using AI tools — specifically the Cursor AI coding assistant.

In the video, We take a basic idea — changing the Novator theme from blue to green — and show how to:
• Use Cursor AI to intelligently update CSS
• Clone the official AbanteCart GitHub repo
• Locate and modify theme files
• Preview the changes live

AbanteCart is incredibly powerful, but sometimes building or customizing themes takes more time than we'd like. So we explored how AI can:
   • Speed up CSS changes
   • Maintain clean, standards-compliant code
   • Help sellers build and launch faster
   • Even assist with writing descriptions and creating images

💡 Now we want to hear from you!

We believe this is just scratching the surface. So we'd love to open up this thread for ideas and collaboration:
   •   Got a cool theme concept you'd like to build?
   •   Want help using AI with your store?
   •   Already testing tools like Cursor, ChatGPT, or Copilot?
   •   Interested in teaming up to build and list a theme?

I went to check the folders and all of them are writable by Apache.
The Apache error log is as follows:

[Wed Aug 06 08:15:28.662119 2025] [core:alert] [pid 16828:tid 1268] [client ::1:50113] C:/wamp64/www/abantecart/admin/.htaccess: Invalid command 'order', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration, referer: http://localhost/abantecart/index.php?rt=index/home&s=randompassword&token=RandomTokenHereInputO0000000

I can only say that I know next to nothing about Apache server files and editing .htaccess files so I haven't touched them at all. please help.

Hello.
First, check the file and folder permissions under the /admin/ directory to make sure Apache can access them.

Then check the server error log (C:\wamp64\logs\apache_error.log) to see what's causing the 500 error when trying to load the admin CSS files.

Last post by emintah92 - August 06, 2025, 02:23:41 AM

I got the latest version as at 05/08/2025 AbanteCart v1.4.2 installed on windows through WAMPSERVER with all required modules and extensions installed and activated.
The landing page and the customer-view works perfectly without any issues. The problem lies with the admin dashboard when logged in. The admin area fails to load any of the styling CSS and layouts for admin view.

I tried accessing the files through direct link clicks from the view-source on Chrome and Microsoft Edge, yet got an internal server error.
Renaming the .htaccess.text to .htaccess too didn't work though I have mod_rewrite.c and other required modules installed and on.

Please help me find out how to resolve the issue.
