Getting “An error occurred while updating object. lang ()” in PrestaShop

June 3, 2011/4 Comments/in Linux/FreeBSD, PrestaShop/by Stefan Helander

If you get the error message "An error occurred while updating object. lang ()" when updating a language in PrestaShop, this is caused when the system doesn’t have permissions to write in the .htaccess-file in your root directory.

If the file does not exist, just create an empty .htaccess-file and make sure it is writeable by the user running the webserver process, for example by issuing:

chmod 666 .htaccess

An error occurred while creating object. lang (Unknown column ‘is_rtl’ in ‘field list’)

Trick with .htaccess can’t help me 🙁

You have any other solution ?
Thanks !
