Prestashop 1.7 Update Error

Question

When I try to install or update modules in Prestashop 1.7 I get the following error appear in the top right of the screen.

I have tried to login but it won't let me because of a server setting which is there for security reasons. Is there anyway around this?

If you want to be able to fully use the AdminModules panel and have free modules available, you should enable the following configuration on your server:

• Enable PHP's allow_url_fopen setting.

Answer 1

you just need to login here https://addons.prestashop.com/ then install the app again. install the whole app again not restarting the same app installation.

Answer 2

The error is from "Addons store" server which host the modules, not with your PrestaShop installation. Wait for PrestaShop to fix it.

Answer 3

I solved my market logging problem yesterday with the following procedure. You'll need an access to the WHM panel to fix it (or alternatively use SSH, but you'll need a good knowledge of Linux command line).

Once you're logged in WHM:

1. Type "apache" in the search box.
2. Click on the "MultiPHP in Editor" menu.
3. By default, you should be in "basic mode".
4. Select your current version of PHP (by example: 7.0.X.)
5. Enable the "allow_url_fopen"

6. Scroll down and click on the "apply" button.

7. I'm always restarting the Apache service to be sure that the new configuration applies.

Alternatively, if you don't have access to WHM:

1. Download the module directly from the marketplace: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/
2. Login in the back-office.
3. Click on the "modules" tab in the vertical menu.
4. Click on the "upload a module" button (sorry this setup is in French).
5. Drag and drop the module archive in the white box.
