Category Page in Administrator Goes Blank

I am getting the most frustrating error.

Everything in Virtuemart is working great - except for the category page in the admin area.  When I click on Product Categories, the page goes blank.  I have to hit refresh several times in order to get the page to display. 

I turned on the error reporting.  When I do get the category page it displays:

Message

I have checked and optimized the database.  I have updated to the latest VM.  I am running PHP 7.4 with Joomla 3.9.24.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Find info how show error if you see blank page.

Definitelly is not turned on the error reporting in VM, but on joomla or server and see the log.

blank page is 500 error:

I installed the plugin that emails the fatal error.  I cannot use Joomla's debugging because nothing shows - just a blank screen,

Here is what I got: (I edited out some revealing paths)

RuposTel.com plg_system_fatal_catcher plugin detected a problem with your site.
Your site caused a blank screen upon a visit of this URL:

https://hallmarkrarecoins.com:443/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category

Error message data:
1 Illegal length modifier specified 'f' in s[np]printf call in file: /xxx/xxx/public_html/libraries/src/Cache/Storage/FileStorage.php line: 346

timestamp: 2021-02-19T11:01:08+00:00


A Google search shows that this might be related to PHP 7.4.  I switched back to 7.3 - same issue. 

Thanks!

Previously I have seen a cache storage error with a site using JCH Optimise. This may not be the same, but removing JHC resolved the problem.

Really?
I wrote about Joomla debugging?
No, you don't read my post.

Joomla error maximum is onl y firts option.
If you see blank page still, then you must write to server and see error log on the server.

This is from the VM error log:

2021-02-19 12:29:02
ERROR vmError: Could not find product with id 3, entries exists for language? en-GB

Jörgen

Spend some time looking at product with id = 3, you have language issues, maybe could be this that breaks your page. Maybe not.

Delete product with id = 3 or edit accordingly.

Jorgen -

Thanks.  There is no product #3 anywhere - and I looked throughout the database.  I have no idea where that is coming.  Where do I look for language issues?  I thought I had kept everything that same.

I am attaching the error log.

Jörgen

Check that you för not have some old entrance in a  product for patent product id. Clear this or if you have some leftover orphaned language strings for if 3 in database.

Getting  there, sorta.

I deleted the related fields in virtue_customs table (could you have hidden it any better!).

Went back to the admin, hit the categories menu selection - it worked.

Then I hit it again - blank page.

Refreshed three times - categories came up.

Hit it again - blank page.  Then refreshed three times.
