I installed a new plugin, went the plugin config page and got a 404 error page.  This is another issue with Magento, you need out of Admin and login again.  Really annoying when you don’t know what is going on!

Using the Magento backup tool from within magento 1.9 causes my store to show an internal server error.

To reset this I had to change the permissions of the index.php file in the root dir to 644 from 666.  It is a known issue.

There is an alternative is to upload a php file called magento cleanup more info here and more general info here

After struggling with finding the correct location of the file to edit I found it here 

Find this file in folder via ftp skin/frontend/default/THEMENAME/css/styles.css – my THEMENAME was rwd

Search for logo in the file – approx line 3267 and change the max-width and max-height from 300 and 90 to whatever.

On my store the logo was pretty small and unclear plus there was a massive white blank space next to it which looked silly.

To change the header blue bar from #3399CC to plain white in the same file go to header-language-background approx lne 3184 and change background -colour to #FFFFFF for white or check www.color-hex.com for other colours

Fatal error: Class ‘Zend_Log’ not found in /home/MyStoreName/public_html/shop/app/code/core/Mage/Core/functions.php on line 247

I set up this domain with the minimum package, I changed the package to a larger package from my cpanel reseller hosting control panel and it did the trick.  There is another fix where the files from /var/sessions can be deleted but there was no var folder.

The other issue I had was during the configuration after installing, the domain was a new domain extension not a standard .com etc, I could not save the e-mail address in the e-mail config, the fix was found here:

File: lib/Zend/Validate/Hostname.php
protected $_validTlds = array(…), line 136.
Add ‘xxx’ to the end of the array.

xxx is the domain extension.  Just download the file, add the domain extensions and upload.
