Oops!

OOPS

Create logs file into your /var/www/YourPrestaShopDirectory/var/

sudo mkdir logs

Give permissions to www-data into logs directory

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/YourPrestaShopDirectory/var/logs

4. Store Information and Content of your store#

5. System configuration#

  • Database server address: 127.0.0.1 or localhost
  • Database name: use database name what you gave to your database using CREATE command in MariaDB
  • Database login: root
  • Database password: If you didn't give any root password while creating database, leave this empty. (It didn't work everytime)

If PrestaShop doesn't find your database, you can try to give new root password to your database. You can give it by making new secure installation.

You should see Database connected.

Connect database

6. Store installation#

You should be able to get into store now.

You can't get into admin side of PrestaShop, before you delete install folder from your PrestaShop directory.

Delete install 1

cd /var/www/YourPrestaShopDirectory/
sudo rm -r install

Delete install 2

Now you should be able to connect admin side of PrestaShop!
