Magento

The 1.2 upgrade has been causing me a lot of headaches, but I’ve finally worked my way through to this last one. I first upgrade using Magento Connect, and everything seemed to go smoothly. I had some problems with the checkout process and decided to use Magento connect - ‘mage all latest’ to try to get a better upgrade. This time, it uploaded again and started throwing 500 errors. I cleared these up by fixing permissions, but since then all I get when using Magento connect is 404 errors. I’ve reset permissions everywhere, uploaded the ‘downloader’ folder from a clean download, etc. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for any help!

I had this same issue, check your error logs. changing the perms of /downloader/index.php to 644 (from 666) fixed this issue for me.

Thanks RickDC This worked brilliantly for me after updating to 1.3

Take Care.

Thanks! fast fix

what worked for me was removing .htaccess in /downloader/
then i had an error on cloning, so i put
ini_set (’zend.ze1_compatibility_mode’, 0);
in /downloader/index.php

Sorry if I am resurrecting an old topic, but haven’t been able to find an answer in my searches. One of the magento stores I am building is giving me problems in the magento connect area.
It seems to connect just fine, download ok, tell me everything installed the right way.
But when I then go to use what I supposedly downloaded, it isn’t there.

I am trying to get the iphone theme, so I can have a mobile version of the store in question.
Could someone help me if they have experienced this before.
Thanks,
Daniel

P.S. I am using magento 1.3.2.4 on a godaddy economy hosting plan for this particular store.

RickDC’s fix worked for me too thank you

I had the same issue, but I had to set the permissions of the “download” folder to 755 and now it’s working.

Anyone a fix for this, I’ve this problem with different versions of Magento (1.3.xx and 1.4.xx)
A used the cleanup tool, checked permissions, cleared cache but nothing seems to be working
Any help appreciated

I’ve this problem with ver. 1.4.1. I set to permissions of ‘downloader’ folder to “755”, but don’t working.

Is there any ideas.

It may be an issue with your hosting account. I had the same issue and nothing else was resolving the issue.

It turns out that Host Gator has a rule in the firewall that was causing the error. They whitelisted the rule for my account and the problem was resolved right away.

Hope that helps.

ini_set (’zend.ze1_compatibility_mode’, 0);

Just ask Hostgator to set that for you.

Bob

Thanks!! solved my problem.
