Unable to update products

[danodemano]

This is what Yum says: Package php-5.3.8-1.fc15.x86_64 already installed and latest version.

Other than the Facebook like and G+ button that's all the mods I have I believe. I would be happy to share more info about the install if needed, just let me know.

Permissions are 777 on that directory for the moment while I work out the bugs.

Sorry if this wireless keyboard misses stuff from time to time.

Ok, you seem to be checking the webserver logs which is good, BUT

have you checked your /cache folder, as this is where zencart stores php errors with filenames like

mydedug-23072011-12345.log
or
mydedug-adm-23072011-12345.log (especially these adm ones for admin)

There is no sign of any errors in the cache folder, not from the past few days anyway. How does the admin side handle SSL? I have it set to use it but if I disable my forces SSL redirect in my .htaccess file I am able to edit the products again. It looks like after the login to the admin area it no longer uses SSL?

This is what I'm using for the SSL rewrite in my .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Is that what's causing the problems? I also noticed that I can't change any configuration options with the forces SSL.

Thanks!

Alright I took the easy way out and just tweaked the rule forcing SSL to exclude the admin area from this requirement and everything seems to be fine now. In case anyone was wondering this is what I did to the rule:

RewriteRule ^(admin|xxxadmin)($|/) - [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Thanks everyone!!!

yes that is probably what was causing it

If you want to force ssl for the admin do that in your admin config file, set them both to https

// Define the webserver and path parameters
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

read the note that is part of point 3
