All the HikaShop settings are stored in the database in the table hikashop_config. 2. Such file doesn't exist so I can't give that. I don't know why Joomla would display the error when you save HikaShop configuration and not when you save Joomla configuration, but the fact remains that the problem is with the Joomla configuration.php file. It should normally be in the root of your website and is created by the Joomla installer interface. The default file should be configuration.php-dist that Joomal renames to configuration.php and modify with your settings.

As we keep saying, the error doesn't come from HikaShop but from something else on your website/web server so reinstalling HikaShop won't help. I suppose that it might be linked to a security system like suhosin or mod_security. So if you have them on your server, try deactivating them and see if that help. If so, then there is some setting to change in them as they must find a false security issue when saving due to the amount of settings in the HikaShop configuration.
