Error: Deleting Sale Not Working, shows “Something Went Wrong Please Try again Later”
Issue:
Sometimes, when attempting to delete a sale, the system may display the following error:
“Something went wrong. Please try again later.”
This usually occurs due to a database configuration issue.
Solution:
Follow the steps below to diagnose and fix the issue:
Step 1: Check the Error Log:
Navigate to your application’s log file located at: pos/storage/logs/laravel.log
Step 2: Identify the Error:
If the log shows the following error: General error: Prepared statement needs to be re-prepared
Step 3: Update Database Configuration:
Open the database configuration file located at:
pos/config/database.php
Find the MySQL configuration block and ensure it includes the following option:
- ‘mysql’ => [
- ‘driver’ => ‘mysql’,
- ‘url’ => env(‘DATABASE_URL’),
- ‘host’ => env(‘DB_HOST’, ‘127.0.0.1’),
- ‘port’ => env(‘DB_PORT’, ‘3306’),
- ‘database’ => env(‘DB_DATABASE’, ‘forge’),
- ‘username’ => env(‘DB_USERNAME’, ‘forge’),
- ‘password’ => env(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”),
- ‘unix_socket’ => env(‘DB_SOCKET’, ”),
- ‘charset’ => ‘utf8mb4’,
- ‘collation’ => ‘utf8mb4_unicode_ci’,
- ‘prefix’ => ”,
- ‘prefix_indexes’ => true,
- ‘strict’ => false,
- ‘engine’ => null,
- ‘options’ => extension_loaded(‘pdo_mysql’) ? array_filter([
- PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env(‘MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA’),
- \PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true, // Add this line
- ]) : [],
- ],
- Important: Make sure the line \PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true is included under the options array. This setting helps prevent the “re-prepared” error by enabling emulation of prepared statements.
Step 4: Save Changes:
After updating the configuration save the file.
