I'm troubled. AbanteCart seems to be the perfect choice for a small business. I have tried several other shopping carts and I have abandoned them because of their lack of functions or fearsome backends.
But when installing AbanteCart it fails.
The installation tells me to disable OPcache, so I disable it in the htacess-file.
Every test checks out well, only green marks here.
Next page, fill in database and user names etc. No questions here, it's standard procedure. I even check that the communication with the database works, and it does.
Next page again. A few seconds, then it fails. "Following error has occurred during installation: Internal Server Error: "
The error log shows: "Call to a member function write() on a non-object in <b>/(webadress)/core/lib/cache.php</b> on line <b>53</b>"
The "cache.php" on line 53 says: " $this->registry->get('log')->write('Cache directory is not accessible or writable. Caching operation was skipped!'); "
If I understand this right, it must mean that the /core/lib - directory is not writeable. So I change the permissions to chmod 777. I also change all of those folders and files mentioned here: ww.abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/installation - to chmod 777.
It doesn't help.
Do I have to abandon AbanteCart, or is there anyone who can help me solving this problem?
I'm not a programmer but I thought I had experience enough to install a simple server side program; after all, I have done it several times before with Magento, Wordpress, eCommerce, Prestashop and so on. English is not my native language, so maybe i'm missing something obvious. If I do, please point me in the right direction.
I will be happy to contribute to the community later on with a translation of the program, if I only can get it to work.
