The deactivate button of the compilation does not appear

[toni_vartrano]

I am the community manager in a clothing store.

I am trying to connect magento with the facebook extension but first I must deactivate the compilation and the deactivate button does not appear... I can't continue.

Thank You.

Hi @toni_vartrano ,

It seems you have some permission problem on your server. Probably the user that runs the webserver (Apache or Nginx, probably) can't write into that directory.

Maybe you can try using the Magento 1 shell.

Go to the shell directory (is the shell directory into your Magento's root directory) and then run:

php compiler.php state

Now you'll see the current status of or compiler. If is enabled and/or compiled, please, execute this commands:

php compiler.php disable
php compiler.php clear

Now is disabled and you've cleared all the generated files.

Can you try it and check if the compiler was properly disabled?
