trouble with paradise--admin/market dame link

www.fantasiesrealm.com/market/
version: 1.5.8a
PHP 8
barebones nothing but store files.

since I have to go to the newer version I decided to save all my 1.3.9h files to external then install the cart software totally especially since most my add-ons probably won't work anymore, yet...LOL

I tried to upload the latest greatest 2.0.1, but it just wouldn't install. so I decided to try 1.5.8a files, joy-- it installed after 3 days of trying, reuploading files again and again. only as the title says the main store link is seen by both admin (btw the admin link shows up correctly in the browser but shows main store pages NOT admin.

Should I just make myself more confused by replacing store files with 2.0.1 or attempt to fix this one then attempt the upgrade later.

You might as well delete that and try 2.0.1 again. Make sure your ftp client is uploading images as binary and php, css, htm, txt etc as text. Then if you get an error on zc_install again, tell us what that error is.

I was afraid you would say that but it does make sense. will do so and ater I pick up my brain from the floor I will report back. Thanks

What is this file: /home/fantasies/public_html/market/XXX/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/._lang.ckeditor.php

The distribution contains a file named lang.ckeditor.php, but not one with a leading ._

Sorry hun, since he wanted me to install 2.0.1 I deleted all the files in the server and uploaded the fresh 2.0.1 files and that one is not in there anymore.

I use FileZilla Client for uploading and managing any uploads and the bad thing is I used to be able to upload a folder at a time with no dot files going up there but with the newer versions (there was a dif 15 yrs ago) I have no clue how to get it to NOT upload dot files.

Now I have reinstalled twice since this post the version 2.0.1 by uploading clean fresh files and t goes thru all the way to the page where you go to admin area or store and now I get that dang white page of nothingness.

The "white page of nothingness" (which I'll steal, BTW) implies that there are one or more myDEBUG*.log files present in the site's /logs directory patiently waiting to let you know what the underlying issue is.

will check them soon and let you know.

OK, this is what the last 4 or 5 logs say....note that now I am even more confused since it is August 3rd here in Kansas but it claims on one of them August 4...LOL

I forgot to ay the PHP version it is set to is 8.3, I have tried with 8.0 thru the now 8.3 and still nothing...LOL

If you dont have any debug logs newer than theinstall logs, look for and post an error.log from the market directory or from public_html/

ok I found some in the cache folder [brain is fried from installing and reinstalling and am nearly certifiable now.] I think that is right and it claimed some folders were missing from includes>laravel folder so I put them in and now am seeing the same as last time....both store link and admin link are the exact same. So will need to see what else is missing....after checking this last error file for just now. So all for now and thanks for the shove in the right place to peek into.

ok, still looking but I can't figure out how to make the logs to have the correct date...this is showing the error for 3pm today Aug 5 but right now I am sitting here and it is 11:04 am CST

hmmm, my post disappeared. those error logs show date correct but not the time, they claim to have been done at 3pm today the 5th but it is 11:14 CST right now? How's that for adding to my confusion?

This is the message that finally came up when trying to access admin area...I can at least now get the store to load but that is all:
(none) 172.103.65.146 /XXX/ fantasiesrealm.com Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0 404

I have tried this with Chrome, Waterfox, Safari and SeaMonkey just to try it since it seems to be obstinate right now yet they all have the same message.

There's a timestamp difference between dates/times recorded in the myDEBUG*.log files and the actual files' timestamps, similarly with the site's raw-access logs which you've posted.

The timestamp in the raw-access logs (and the files' timestamps) will be the server's time. So, if you're in Los Angeles but your site's hosted on a server in Texas, the server's time will be Central time while the date/time recorded in a myDEBUG*.log file will depend on whether you've updated /includes/extra_configures/set_time_zone.php to identify

  $TZ = 'America/Los_Angeles';  // eg: 'Europe/Oslo'

Thanks will see that is taken care of  soon, as for accessing admin area I just tried it again and HALLELUJIA...I have the login page---it has let me in to the admin area to add info so if all goes well it now works. Will let you know, now fingers crossed....

taken care of...and since brain is gone, I installed this software fresh, nothing from old market DB so to re-add my customers/ their paypal info and products, will I need to do them manually or can I just upload the old db to the new one?

Now that I have my admin bookmarked it is easy to get there however---if I just click the "home" link in admin it takes me to the storefront not page 1 of admin, where do I fix that at?

Are you able to navigate to other admin pages? Are you using a URL manager (like Ceon URI Mappings or Universal SEO URLs)?

For your database, you delete the database you just created, import the old database, reupload the ZC_install folder, rerun the zc_install so it can update your old database, and delete the zc_install directory again.

Yes I clicked all the links in the menu and below, everything loads like it should but not the ones that show you the way to admin.

I will try the suggestion from gothstone and hope it behaves and also will then behave with the links.

I forgot to mention to you lat9, I do not have any mods installed this is a totally new files with only what comes with 2.0.1 .
I don't even have any old files nor anything in the download folder but will try removing the database, reinstalling the old 1.3.9h one then re-running zc_install. But that needs to wait for the day to start freshening up.
