ok the server doesnt have SSL enabled - as mentioned in my previous post - I couldnt see this being a requirement - is this required now?

It is highly recommended to use SSL with Opencart but not an enforced, yet, requirement even though it should be due to the remote payment and shipping providers that may highly enforce the issue on anyhow.

Hence I upgraded to 2.2.0.0 with the community script which worked just fine and did hold off further upgrades ... if those upgrades however supposed to work from 2.2.0.0 to recent then I might give it a shot to see if that resolves the issue ...

might need to roll back and start over to see if that does the trick ... thanks for the help though its much appreciated

You can also try to disable the .htaccess file from the root and see if the problem persists before heading ahead.

the config is the same in root/admin - thats the same for the current live one - so I didnt modify the testing ...

What was posted previously was only the first three lines of your config.php file. As per the above statement, the root and admin config.php files are not identical out-of-the-box. If both are identical, it may be the cause of the reported issue. There are slight differences between those two files.

I did edit one post earlier to post the full config after I had posted it ... well ... any options to get an anonymised version? so I can align my setup?
