Please activate temporarily the debug mode in the joomla configuration and try again. If you still get a blank screen, please activate the errors display:
[ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...-install.html#errors](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/59-hikashop-how-to-install.html#errors)
That should enable you to get an error message instead of a blank screen.
Otherwise, you will need to ask your hosting company for the PHP error logs of your website.

The error is either because of a memory limitation of your hosting (it might be possible to increase it), or a processing limit (it's also possible to increase it), or maybe a bug in hikashop (but way less likely since it works everywhere else...)

Hi Nicolas,

I just contacted my hosting provider and they said to setup a php.ini file, and asked this: "You may need to check with the developers of the script to see which memory needs to be increased and what the value should be."

Thanks for your help ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)")

First in your php.ini, you should activate the display of errors like explained in the link of my previous message. That way, you should get an error message instead of a blank screen and we will be able to tell you more precisely what is the problem.

There is only one memory_limit parameter in the php.ini configuration. You need to add it like that in your file:
memory_limit=64M

Hi Nicolas,

I tried the debug mode and nothing happened, then I looked at the php.ini file and it looked like this:

register_globals=Off
safe_mode=Off
allow_url_fopen=Off
allow_url_include=Off
disable_functions=show_source, system, shell_exec, passthru, exec, phpinfo, popen, proc_open
open_basedir=/home/c/public_html:/tmp:/logs

and was too scared to touch it because I have stuffed things up before by not knowing what Im doing! Do I need to add display_errors = On to the file?

If I reinstall will I lose what I have entered into Hika Shop?

I just got this error now:

500 - An error has occurred.

JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1062 - Duplicate entry 'MFLS7' for key 2 SQL=UPDATE &#96;jos_hikashop_product&#96; SET &#96;product_name&#96;='Honourable Sample',&#96;product_url&#96;='',&#96;product_meta_description&#96;='',&#96;product_keywords&#96;='',&#96;product_code&#96;='MFLS7',&#96;product_tax_id&#96;='',&#96;product_sale_start&#96;='',&#96;product_sale_end&#96;='',&#96;product_quantity&#96;='4',&#96;product_min_per_order&#96;='0',&#96;product_max_per_order&#96;='0',&#96;product_weight&#96;='10.000',&#96;product_weight_unit&#96;='kg',&#96;product_length&#96;='5.000',&#96;product_width&#96;='5.000',&#96;product_dimension_unit&#96;='cm',&#96;product_height&#96;='5.000',&#96;product_published&#96;='1',&#96;product_access&#96;='all',&#96;product_group_after_purchase&#96;='',&#96;product_type&#96;='main',&#96;product_description&#96;='

I'm very confused sorry :huh:

Hope this helps...

Thanks ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)")

Yes, you need to add the line display_errors=On in the php.ini file

If you reinstall hikashop you won't loose your data but I doubt that it comes from that since apparently other pages works ok.

Where did you get the update query error ?

Thanks ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)")

I just added the display_errors=On to the file and uploaded it, tried clicking on configuration backened again, and still a white screen...

Update query error? 500 error?: I just got that error when I clicked save in a product after changing settings etc

Can other extensions cause this?

You replaced the file amdinistrator/components/com_hikashop/types/quantity.php by the file components/com_hikashop/view/product/quantity.php
Please only modify the views of HikaShop via the interface in the menu Display-&gt;Views so that such problems do not occur.

For the product issue, I just created a product called "test_hikashop" on your website and then tried to save it again and didn't had any problem.

I figured out why i was getting the 500 error, I was trying to save a product with the same product code as one that already exised. When I changed the product code, it worked fine ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)")
