Akiba Mart Is Broken http://www.akiba-mart.com/blog/e-commerce/omg-akiba-mart-is-broken/ http://www.akiba-mart.com/blog/e-commerce/omg-akiba-mart-is-broken/#comments Sun, 17 May 2009 00:43:05 +0000 Toku http://www.akiba-mart.com/blog/?p=437 I tried to update Magento from 1.2.1 to 1.3.1 via Magento Connect, but installation process ended up with error! Damn! I’ve searched the internet and tried to find out some solution to resurrect Akiba Mart, but no good answer was there.

OK, then let’s try clean installing and see how it goes.

But clean installation did not work. Magento requires “Safe Mode Off” in PHP5 to run, but my contracting hosting service does not support that. Do I need to reinstall 1.2.1 again? I made some research in the service of the hosting service and found that they had newly started to support “Safe Mode Off”!

I configured PHP5 and tried to access to backend. It worked! But for the frontend, the top page shows white screen while other pages placed deeper are fine. It took a lot of time to figure out that the reason was that the upgrade of magento overwrited /app/code/core/Mage/Cms/etc/config.xml file that is used for installed skin.

To conclude, I will reiterate the reasons of the problems:

  • PHP5 Safe Mode
  • Overwritten config.xml

Now our site is back online :)
