I CREATED BRAND NEW FLUTTER PROJECT AND REPAIRED PUB CACHE! USING : dart pub cache repair
I REDOWNLOADED and opened FIREBASE CLI INSTANT.EXE FILE. AND LOGGED INTO IT.
I redownloaded FIREBASE-TOOLS USING, npm install -g firebase-tools.
I CREATED THE FLUTTER PROJECT AND CREATED NEW FLUTTER APP THERE IN FIREBASE CONSOLE.
I TYPED " flutterfire configure " in newly downloaded firebase-cli-instant window. and it successfully fetched the projects and i selected my created project and i selected the platform ios,android ...
and it configured!!
you could also type flutterfire configure --project: ....

According to https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/97500#issuecomment-1044083031 this is fixed in the master branch, which means you will need to wait until the fix reaches the beta branch and is released to the beta channel. Alternatively you can revert to the stable channel.
I switched to the stable flutter channel by typing flutter channel stable in the terminal and that worked for me!
If the following command is run in cmd, the problem will be solved.

I think the program is trying to read data from the server, but the server is not working, so it makes an error. Check that the API is working.
Good evening friends,
I've lost contact with my developer years ago and kept running the same M1 backup i had from 2017 whenever something stopped working.
However, now that fails too, even if i erase everything and put the 2017 backup or load a backup from when the site worked, it doesn't load anymore. Please be kind and share some thoughts so that i can restore the backup i have and have it run until i manage to build the new site.

This seems to be an issue with the server, not the actual website.
Try contacting your hosting provider and ask them to install/enable PDO on the server.
Edit:
You can run php -m to see all active PHP modules. In the resulting list, you'll want to see pdo_mysql, but I'm guessing you won't.
Just to be safe, you could try to install the PHP module :
apt-get install php7.2-common php7.2-mysql or sudo apt-get install php7.2-common php7.2-mysql. If the response says php7.2-mysql is already the newest version, then more debugging is necessary as you probably have some conflicting configs.
Otherwise, there is a good chance this will fix your issue.
We are utilizing Magento 2.1 and installed this Store Pickup module that did not install correctly.
The module is disabled through SSH and now we get errors on Checkout related to Store Pickup.

From what I gather I should try and find the extension_attributes.xml and possibly remove it from there?
If so I cannot find it; is this what I should even be looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated as users cannot continue past the Shipping Options screen on checkout now.
Also from this answer I am a bit worried to delete ALL the folders in my generation folder. Whenever this Magento 2 instance generates new folders and files / deploys content it always seems to mess something up.
1) Place the store into maintenance mode
bin/magento maintenance:enable
2) delete generation and DI contents
rm -rf var/generation/*
rm -rf var/di/*
3) re-generate these, using the compiler
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento setup:di:compile
4) disable maintenance mode
bin/magento maintenance:disable
What do you mean by always messes things up? That's probably due to permissions issues on your setup..
I am having these two different exceptions in Magento ver. 1.6.0.0 and would like to resolve them. This is for an existing site so I am not sure about the history of modules installed. I believe the first one is actually missing the extension files. I searched for this folder "Fbintegrator" and could not find it. Also, not sure if it can be in some other folder. I also looked at the installed extensions in the Magento Connect in the admin and could not find anything related to Fbintegrator which Iam assuming is a facebook_integrator. So I would like to de-register it or if there is a way to resolve this issue would be appreciated.

This second extension is actually found in the Magento Connect. I actually also tried uninstalling it and then re-installing it and still getting the same error below. I found the folder: Ezapps/Zoom/ but not the file Ezapps/Zoom/Handler.php even after re-install.
2013-11-18T03:02:56+00:00 ERR (3): Warning: include(Ezapps/Zoom/Handler.php) [<a href='function.include'>function.include</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home1/gumballm/public_html/lib/Varien/Autoload.php on line 93
For the first extension, it's hard to say exactly. I see Aitoc as part of the stack trace which can complicate things. The extension itself can normally be disabled by finding the extension's file in app/etc/modules and editing the xml to set active to false. Aitoc complicates things by trying to work resolving extension conflicts itself. If you can live without the Aitoc extension, the easy solution is to get rid of it. If it's necessary, try to look through the various Aitoc configuration sections to find their conflict resolutions and remove it for fbintegrator. It was probably installed when the Aitoc extension was installed, it resolved a conflict by making itself extend fbintegrator, then fbintegrator was removed breaking that dependency.
For the second extension, Ezapps_Zoom_Handler is the class name in the file ezzoom.php. Part of the installation requires you to add include('ezzoom.php'); immediately after the opening php tag. If you don't, when line 533 of app/code/local/Ezapps/Zoom/Helper/Data.php checks if the class exists, the class won't be loaded already and will rely on Magento's auto-loader which will look in the wrong place.
I'm trying to install Magento 1.5 Community Edition on Mac OSX. I'm using MAMP Pro to redirect the url test.com to run a specific Magento 1.5 folder.
I get a set of error messages before I even begin the install process. Can anyone help decipher?

Are you trying to install the latest RC1 release candidate? I just downloaded it myself, and it looks like their build process (accidentally?) left this information in. The local.xml file is where Magento keeps come configuration information, such as the username and password to use for a database. In previous version of the system, it shipped without a local.xml. This file was created during the installation process.
My guess is, as mentioned, the file was included accidentally. I'd try renaming it to something else, or removing it from the folder, and starting your installation. If that doesn't work, then I'd just enter your mysql DB information in local.xml to work around the problem
Worth reporting as a bug
http://www.magentocommerce.com/bug-tracking
My name is Dmitriy, i'm technical project manager of Magento Core Team. 1.5.0.0-rc1 packages were wrongly packaged and contains local.xml file from test installation. Please remove local.xml file from app/etc folder or download package one more time. We have fixed packages. Sorry for this issue but like you know the old saying sais "He is lifeless that is faultless".
Thank you for pointing this out.
Access denied for user ''#'localhost'...
You are missing a username.
Edit:
Look in the /app/etc/ directory for both local.xml and config.xml. Either of those might already have database details set in advance which would derail the installation process.
Yes, please remove local.xml comming from downloaded archive. It's definety bug.
