Common Queries During Installation

  1. After​ ​I​ ​Installed​ ​the​ ​Extension,​ ​the​ ​Store​ ​Gives​ ​an​ ​Error​ ​or​ ​Blank Page:
  • Change​ ​the​ ​owner​ ​of​ ​the​ ​extracted​ ​extension​ ​files​ ​to​ ​the​ ​web server​ ​user​ ​and​ ​set​ ​775​ ​permissions​ ​on​ ​them.  
  • Clear​ ​the​ ​store​ ​cache​ ​and​ ​try​ ​again.

2. How​ ​to​ ​Clear​ ​Your​ ​Cache:

  • After​ ​installing​ ​or​ ​uninstalling​ ​extensions,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​recommended to​ ​clear​ ​your​ ​cache.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​more​ ​preferable​ ​to​ ​flush​ ​your Magento​ ​store​ ​cache​ ​by​ ​deleting​ ​all​ ​the​ ​content​ ​in /var/cache/.  
  • You​ ​can​ ​clear​ ​it​ ​via​ ​Back end​ ​->​ ​System​ ​->​ ​Cache​ ​Management: select​ ​all​ ​cache​ ​types,​ ​then​ ​choose​ ​the​ ​Refresh​ ​action​ ​and click​ ​the​ ​Submit​ ​button.

Don’t​ ​forget​ ​to​ ​re-login​ ​after​ ​both​ ​these procedures.

3. How​ ​to​ ​Make​ ​a​ ​Database​ ​Backup:

  • Before​ ​you​ ​make​ ​any​ ​changes,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​recommended​ ​that​ ​you backup​ ​your​ ​data​ ​first.​ ​In​ ​Magento,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​use​ ​a​ ​native backup​ ​tool​ ​in​ ​Admin​ ​Panel​ ​->​ ​System​ ​->​ ​Tools​ ​->​ ​Backups.  
  • Click​ ​the​ ​Database​ ​Backup​ ​button​ ​-​ ​the​ ​tool​ ​is​ ​now​ ​copying the​ ​data​ ​from​ ​your​ ​store’s​ ​database​ ​to​ ​your​ ​local​ ​database. The​ ​Magento​ ​backup​ ​file​ ​appears​ ​in​ ​/var/backup/​ ​after​ ​the procedure.

4. How​ ​to​ ​Enable​ ​Error​ ​and​ ​Exception​ ​Logging​ ​in​ ​Magento:

  • By​ ​default,​ ​Magento​ ​does​ ​not​ ​register​ ​messages​ ​about​ ​errors and​ ​exceptions;​ ​so​ ​if​ ​something​ ​bad​ ​happens,​ ​you​ ​won’t​ ​even know.
  • To​ ​turn​ ​on​ ​the​ ​logging,​ ​you​ ​can​ ​navigate​ ​to​ ​System​ ​-> Configuration​ ​->​ ​Developer​ ​->​ ​Log​ ​Settings​ ​and​ ​set​ ​the Enabled​ ​option​ ​to​ ​Yes.
  • Don’t​ ​forget​ ​to​ ​set​ ​full​ ​access​ ​permissions​ ​(777)​ ​to​ ​the following​ ​folder:​ ​/var/log,​ ​since​ ​that​ ​is​ ​the​ ​place​ ​where​ ​those log​ ​files​ ​are​ ​stored.

5. How​ ​to​ ​Re-Index​ ​Your​ ​Data:

  • In​ ​order​ ​to​ ​re-index​ ​product​ ​catalog​ ​data,​ ​go​ ​to​  ​System​ ​-> Index​ ​Management.
  • Select​ ​all​ ​elements,​ ​choose​ ​the​ ​Reindex​ ​Data​ ​action​ ​and​ ​click the​ ​Submit​ ​button.​ ​It​ ​is​ ​not​ ​necessary​ ​to​ ​re-login​ ​to​ ​complete the operation.This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 8.png
