I'm working on a website that has suddenly started throwing up 500 Errors on the any checkout/cart related pages.

I've run through all of the usual "fixes";

  • Permissions changes
  • Turning on ini_set('display_errors', 1) & Mage::setIsDeveloperMode(true); in the index.php file and that doesn't display any errors
  • I've tried upping the memory limits and it's not that either

All I seem to be getting from the system log is;

And from the exception.log the following;

I'm stumped as to what could be causing this error. We recently updated a plugin (Temando) which didn't seem to impact the functionality at all. This morning it started spitting errors so we rolled back the version to the previous (working) plugin version and the 500 error was still happening..

This website is running: Magento ver. 1.9.3.1

I will note; this is an inherited project from previous developers that have taken a considerable time.

  • Better check apache or nginx log in /var/log/%your_web_server_name%

  • Are you using default checkout? Also Make sure that your php files have the correct permissions. Try 644

  • @ChiragRajput it seems the One page checkout is being used. All file permissions have been tried with 644 and 755 but not working

Reset to default

It seems your magento have compilation enable. Please make it disable and clear cache.

Use Below Steps:

  1. Via Magento admin

    Navigate to System > Tools > Compilation page and click on Disable button
    Navigate to System > Cache Management screen and use Flush Cache button.

  2. Via FTP, by editing the includes/config.php file

    To disable compilation in Magento, edit includes/config.php. comment both line as below :

    #define('COMPILER_INCLUDE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'src');
#define('COMPILER_COLLECT_PATH', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'stat');
