    Hi, Firest of all, you MUST NOT set permission of folders and PHP files to “777”. That is really bad for security. It can actually cause this very problem that you described as some servers will try to block execution of PHP files if the file permission is set incorrectly (some hosting providers do this to protect you).

    So, the first thing to do is revert those permission changes that you did. Folders should have a permission of “755”. PHP files should have a permission of “644”.

    Once that is done, load a fresh copy of eStore plugin (just in case):

    https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/re-install-or-load-a-fresh-build-of-the-plugins

    Then share the URL of a page where I can go and see the remaining issue and I will guide you as to what you can do next.

    hi, i have deleted entired folder’s site and relative database tables, installed new version of wordpress and latest update of plugin wp-estore, deleted other wordpress plugin and used default template. Then i add 1 product, you can see it here : [http://www.wordpressdiprova.com/5/shop/] but when i checkout the error is the same : “Internal Server Error – The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.Please contact the server administrator at [postmaster@wordpressdiprova.com] to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error……”

    i don’t modify yet file permission, i leave it as default for the moment. Any idea? thank’s. Fabio

    Hi, Please try the following:

    Open the eStore_advanced_configs.php file and look for the following line of code:

    define('WP_ESTORE_ENABLE_NEW_CHECKOUT_REDIRECTION', '0');

    Once you find it change it to the following:

    define('WP_ESTORE_ENABLE_NEW_CHECKOUT_REDIRECTION', '1');

    Let me know how it goes.

    Yeah ! Work fine. Now it no longer gives the error message. But, just to understand, why need this fix? Thank you. Fabio.

    Your server configuration is slightly different and was blocking the standard eStore checkout operation. The above mentioned secondary method works good on some servers.
