woocommerce activation fails in local setup – timeout

Hey @keneso ,

Thanks for reaching out!

It seems like you are experiencing issues activating WooCommerce, is this correct?

On the site I see the pages (shop, account, cart, checkout), the tables in database are there, but on admin, after hitting the browser back button, the plugin is not activated, and no WC menu

Hmm, this is indeed odd behavior. Can you see if logging out of your wp-admin and back in makes any difference? Also, can you see if this issue is present in various browsers, or only a specific browser?

Can you please also share any errors you may identify when inspecting the console on the page displaying the error message?

You can read more about?using your browser console to identify errors here.

Additionally, can you please share a clear screenshot of the error message as you are seeing it on your end? If you do not already have a screenshot tool installed, Snipboard.io can be used for easily sharing screenshots.

Looking forward to your response!

Hi there,

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, I hope that you have managed to make some headway in getting this resolved!

I’m going to mark this as resolved, however, feel free to create a new topic if you need any further help.

Cheers!

Hi Roxy

Sorry I could not reply any sooner, I had some urgency to take care of.

I tried Opera, and Firefox, same result, also more than once I logged out, and back in. Thank you.

Hi @keneso

The error message you’re receiving suggests that the connection to your localhost server is timing out.

This could be due to several reasons, such as a slow internet connection, an issue in the localhost server, or a conflict with another plugin. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Make sure you have a stable internet connection.
2. Try deactivating all other plugins except WooCommerce to see if there’s a conflict causing the issue.
3. You might need to increase the PHP time limit on localhost. You can edit the php.ini file to increase it. If you are using XAMPP, then you can follow the guide shared here: https://yourictmagazine.com/howtos/859-howto-increase-maximum-execution-time-in-xampp-wamp.html
4. If the issue persists, enable WP Debug and check logs for any errors that might give a clue as to what’s causing the issue.

If you’re still having trouble after trying these steps, please get back to us with any error messages or logs you have, and we’ll be happy to help you further.

Hi Shameem

Thank you, I will follow your suggestions, and report back.

Hi again

I increased the php max_execution_time = from 90 to 180, and it kept failing, I disabled plugins, save the WC, I restarted Apache, and failed; I then removed the plugins from plugins directory, and failed. Meanwhile I did a few Apache restarts; I did all while WP_DEBUG was set to true.

I did add WP_DEBUG_LOG and set it to true, I tried one more time to activate WC, and it did activate. I really don’t know what happened, I am guessing there was/is some issue/conflict with Apache/php/MySql as the Apache logs does report some errors I need to investigate more.

That said the WP debug reports 10 deprecated and 2 warnings of WC.

Hey @keneso ,

I did add WP_DEBUG_LOG and set it to true, I tried one more time to activate WC, and it did activate. I really don’t know what happened, I am guessing there was/is some issue/conflict with Apache/php/MySql as the Apache logs does report some errors I need to investigate more.

I’m really glad to hear that you managed to get WooCommerce activated!

This seems to be pointing to more of a server-related issue, and it’s possible that the server just needed a restart.

You can also check that all the?WooCommerce Server Recommendations?and?WordPress requirements?are met to avoid these types of issues.

That said the WP debug reports 10 deprecated and 2 warnings of WC.

Would you mind sharing these with us here so that we can take a closer look?

Just to add – Deprecation notices shouldn’t break any functionality of your site in any way. These typically outline functions that have been replaced with newer ones and are no longer recommended for use.

As a first step, could you make sure that WordPress and WooCommerce are both updated to their latest available version? If that looks good, it’s possible that the deprecated functions are being called by another plugin, theme, or custom code.

However, before suggesting a full conflict test, I’d like to have a better understanding of your sites current environment so that we can see if there is anything there that may help us identify what may be triggering these notices.

Please can you share a copy of your site’s System Status Report which you can find via WooCommerce → Status.

Select?Get system report?and then?Download for Support. This will download a TXT file that has the contents of the SSR which you can then share with us here.

Cheers!

Hi Roxy

Thanks, I am aware of that, I just thought to share it with you for maybe future versions, here are the WP debug lines (sorry for I am not aware of how to share a file, so just pasting it here):

And here is the WC status report, in case you need translation for some of the lines please feel free to ask, i.e. SoapClient: ? Il tuo server non ha la classe SoapClient attiva - alcuni plugin gateway che usano SOAP potrebbero non funzionare correttamente. Your serve does not have SoapClient class active – some gateway plugins that use SOAP could not function properly.

Hello @keneso,

Is it possible that your antivirus software might be causing the problem? :?)

Also, may I ask what’s the localhost service you’re using?

I personally use LocaLWP for testing purposes, and it’s been performing excellently.

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi Saif

Is it possible that your antivirus software might be causing the problem? :?)

Could be, but since now WC is functioning I am notconcerned about it.

Also, may I ask what’s the localhost service you’re using?

I manually installed MySql, Php, and Apache on my Windows pc.

Cheers

I manually installed MySql, Php, and Apache on my Windows pc.

I don’t mean to come across as promoting WPlocal, but it’s significantly easier than manual configuration. ??

Also, I forgot to mention, regarding the deprecation notices, they’re expected with PHP 8.2.

As for the following warning error, it was already fixed in version 8.3.0.

PHP Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null in C:\localhost-path\kamaleu-wp\wp-content\plugins\woocommerce\src\Internal\Admin\Translations.php on line 84

Let us know if you have any other questions! :?)

Hi Saif

I plan to test localwp. I just posted the notices as it was requested. This may be closed.
