New Account Creation not working.

@bislewl

No, but thanks.
I don't have any SSl certificates so the HTTPS dirs are empty.

and the second option shows no change.

Are you using an actual server from a hosting company or a local host from your computer?

[Kennym]

It is a hosting company. http://www.storminternet.co.uk/hosting_asp.asp

[lat9]

a couple things to try to change:
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.railworks.marleyman.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.railworks.marleyman.co.uk');
and
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/');

plan b
in the admin
configuration->sessions->Add Period... change that setting

either one of theses work?

Please note that plan A is spot-on. With the original values for the HTTPS_SERVER and DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG, an HTTPS_SERVER value of just "https://" could easily set off a Server 500 error.

@bislewl

No, but thanks.
I don't have any SSl certificates so the HTTPS dirs are empty.

and the second option shows no change.

Did you actually make the change to your /includes/configure.php file (remember to change its read-only status before re-FTPin ... can't tell you how many times I've done that!)? If not, please make the changes suggested by bislewl and retry.

[Kennym]

ok, inclues/configure now reads;

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.railworks.marleyman.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.railworks.marleyman.co.uk');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/');

Still cannot create a new account

[lat9]

I found an obscure issue (http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...06#post1165106) that affects me running on a localhost/windows install. On the off-chance that it's related, I've attached a zip-file of the updated two template files (one of them is the tpl_modules_create_account.php). Just replace the two files in your template override directory and let me know it that helps.

minacct_changed_files.zip

[Kennym]

Added files to includes/templates/aberdeen_neutral/templates (just checking that is the correct folder. Still no change there.

[lat9]

You could try installing the Zen Cart Notifier Trace plugin. That plugin "monitors" the notifiers thrown by various Zen Cart modules and will give you/us an idea of how far the page is getting before the server 500 is thrown. If you'd like to go that route, just post the contents of the /cache/notifier_trace.log file after you've tried to create an account.

[Kennym]

I don't understand the instruction (How to use it) and what it actually wants me to do.

[lat9]

The "How to use it" is primarily for developers who want to use the plugin to help them debug their new code.

For your case, I'm suggesting simply installing the plugin (use the v1.5.1 version of the files). The files simply "drop in" to your store (no overwrites) and then you'll need to run the zen_trace_install.sql file that comes in the zip file. Once you run the SQL file, the trace function is enabled and each access to your store will result in the file /cache/notifier_trace.log file being written. The enable/disable setting is present in your admin's Configuration->Logging tab.
