Problem with rendering address field on profile page

Question

I have a problem like in attachment. I don't know why address isn't rendering. Please help me how to debug this.

Answer 1

The issue is caused by inability to load address attributes from EAV tables in the database. Magento assumes values of certain IDs invariant and thus they're hard-coded in a PHP code for performance optimization purposes. Attribute set ID = 2 is hard-coded for address attributes. However, the field eav_attribute_set.attribute_set_id is AUTO_INCREMENT and thus is governed by MySQL settings auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset. Having non-default values for those settings is the root cause of the issue.

The fix:

1. Make changes to the MySQL config my.cnf:
   • auto_increment_increment = 1
   • auto_increment_offset = 1
2. Restart MySQL to apply the config changes
3. Create a new empty database
4. Re-install Magento from scratch to the new database

Note: Changing MySQL settings above will not recover the existing database.
