Weird errors when loading Magento page

Question

When I load my frontend my browser returns those weird errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: Mage is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: Varien is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: decorateGeneric is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: VarienForm is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: VarienForm is not defined

And when I try to access my backend via /admin I'm being redirected to the frontend (home).

Tried a million things to detect whats going on but nothing seems to work.

My Apache error.log is full of entries like:

File does not exist: /var/www/skin
script '/var/www/index.php' not found or unable to stat
script '/var/www/cron.php' not found or unable to stat

By the way, my magento install isn't on /var/www, it's placed on /var/www/magento

What am I doing wrong? Can I get some help pretty pretty please?

have you tried running in other browser? – Kalpesh Jan 17 '13 at 14:31 — Kalpesh, Jan 17 '13 at 14:31

open "CATALOG.XML" file into your theme

add this code

<default>

    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addJs"><script>varien/product.js</script></action>
        <action method="addJs"><script>varien/configurable.js</script></action>

        <action method="addItem"><type>js_css</type><name>calendar/calendar-win2k-1.css</name><params/><!--<if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>
        <action method="addItem"><type>js</type><name>calendar/calendar.js</name><!--<params/><if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>
        <action method="addItem"><type>js</type><name>calendar/calendar-setup.js</name><!--<params/><if/><condition>can_load_calendar_js</condition>--></action>
    </reference>

</default>

Under "default" tag

i hope it works...

Not exactly what I was looking for, but it pointed me in the right direction. Needed to open the custom themes page.xml file and copy over the page/html_head addJS scripts from the default page.xml theme — cnizzardini, Nov 22 '13 at 02:28

You have to set two entries in core_config_data table in your database:

entry with path column with value web/unsecure/base_url should have value column set to something like

http://127.0.0.1/magento/

(assuming that you are working on a local development server) and the same goes for path column with value web/secure/base_url.

These two table entries define the root of your magento installation.

Isn't it on core_config_data? – Jan 17 '13 at 11:16
You are correct. I was just looking at core_variable table and wrote the wrong table in response... I corrected my answer. – Domen Vrankar Jan 17 '13 at 11:19
Already did that, I'm being redirected from the backend to the exact path that I've inserted on web/unsecure/base_url. – Jan 17 '13 at 11:20
If you change those two entries you should also clear cache form admin or delete /var/www/magento/var/cache/ content. – Domen Vrankar Jan 17 '13 at 12:14
Did it before too... I can't understand why something is looking for those files in /var/www and why I'm being redirected from the backend to the frontend. – Jan 17 '13 at 12:54

Have a look into the .htaccess and set the RewriteBase correct to /magento

Next try: I didn't know "Uncaught Reference Error" (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2075337/uncaught-referenceerror-is-not-defined)

But obviously it is something with JavaScript. Are you sure, that your PHP code is executed? What looks the "HTML" sourcecode like?

Everything works fine on the frontend, people are still able to purchase etc, I think is something related to Apache conf, my error.log is crowded with those "not found" and "does not exist" strings. – Jan 17 '13 at 17:04

I solved by update core_config_data set value = 'http://yourdomain:8019/' where value = 'http://yourdomain'; in Magento 1.9.1.1
