I am new to Magento and this is my first project.

I am using Magento CE 1.9 I have made all the set up required. Now when I try to test by creating an order I face an issue in last step :

When I click on the "Place Order" button, it goes back to "Shopping Cart" page.

I also noticed that though the order is not placed, stock is getting reduced!

With a little bit of debugging, I understood that if there is any "failure" in Ajax requests (I use Magento's standard OnepageCheckout), it will get redirected to "checkout/cart" page.

I can see that all the details are entered - billing and shipping address, shipping method, payment method (Cash On Delivery).

In the browser console I see the error - "500 internal server error". What does this actually mean? I am testing using a logged in customer.

This is the first order I am trying to place. I really appreciate an suggestion or hints on how I can tackle this.

PS: I had a local installation of Magento community version and it worked perfectly fine.

I checked this link already : Magento Place Order on Checkout redirects back to cart

Here are the contents of the log file:

I have searched for this exact error, none of the solutions worked for me. I even tried disabling the SMTP send email settings in Magento backend, but it did not help.

SMTP settings are as below :

Host : localhost port : 25

    Check your apache/webserver logs for the 500 error (if applicable), also good to check your magento var/log/system.log and exception.log

  • Hello both, I have added the contents of the log file to the question. Please help me. Thank you very much! Nov 15, 2015 at 12:25
  • After checking the exception.log and scratching my head around it for long, I figured out that one of my custom modules was the culprit. I am not sure why, but it worked perfectly with my local installation but failed on the project installation. @kaska I would want to accept your comment as answer for guiding me to check exception.log which had never occurred to me. Not sure how I can do that... Dec 4, 2015 at 3:06
