Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

Use the debug thingy by Drbyte and the error will show up in your /cache folder. Copy the contents here and someone will be able to help you from there.

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

Which checkboxes does the upgrade screen have already-checked for you?

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

Is your /cache/ folder writable?
Are there any zcInstallxxxxxxx.log files in it? If so, please zip them and attach them here.

Are you running your live site on xampp?

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

None of the logs you posted are related to the installer/upgrade process.

But they are certainly telling you that you've got problems in your addon template:```
[14-May-2008 10:59:18] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in C:\xampp\htdocs\bathscale\includes\templates\free_blue\templates\tpl_product_info_display.php on line 86

DrByte:

Are you running your live site on xampp?

MachaNeko:

Well, the screenshot you supplied earlier shows that you've got a www.bathxxxxxxx.com domain running, but indicates that it's running from c:\xampp\htdocs......

I don't understand why you're running a live website on a xampp setup .... when xampp does not have any security protection on it.

No, the installer/upgrader only puts its logs into the /cache/ folder.

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

its my boss who did this. i have no idea nor control over this xampp.

so since there are no logs, there is no help as to why the upgrade isnt working?
there isnt even any code when i view the source to the blank page.

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

For fastest results you need someone who is experienced in these matters to sort everything out. As mentioned already by DrByte, if this is a Live site and being run from a personal computer using XAMPP, then you are going to be hacked fairly soon. Best to get a good Hosting account which will give better security -- and Tech Support by knowledgable people in these areas. :wink:

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

Make a post in the Commercial Section of the Forum. Should be able to get qualified help.

But... my suggestion to get a proper Hosting account still stands. Do not Host Zen Cart or any site for that matter, on a personal computer. Even within a Business setup -- using Networked Servers -- one still needs someone who is familiar with Security for Hosting.

Re: blank page after clicking upgrade

I say the following in all honesty.

Why would someone invest the time / money in a Web site if it is not going to be properly maintained and with good security?

Problems will always come up within a Hosting account and that is why Hosters have Tech Support. Also why Hosters make the investment to secure their Servers. Much easier to prevent a Hacker / Spammer than to clean up their mess afterwards.

The learning is in the doing.
