New classes won't show

When creating new classes (content in my case) they won't show in the content class list. This all started after trying to _edit_ a class and insert new attributes. The new attributes I added would not show up when viewing the class, but would show up when choosing 'edit'. It just seems like the new attributes I add don't get stored.

After removing the troublesome class, and trying to make a new one, I noticed that _no_ new classes whatsoever would show up in the class-listing. I've had a peek in the eZ database, and all new classes and attributes are indeed there, but there seems to be some kind of missing connection.

I know some people have had somewhat similar problems, but I couldn't find anyone with problems exactly like this. Does anybody know how I can repair this, and get eZ on it's feet again?

I'm using eZ Publish 3.3-4 with MySQL, Debian Stable.

Great software, cool design, however I am also having this problem when doing the "Building an eZ publish site" tutorial. The members class was created fine, got to the guestbook entry class, go through the same steps to create it, but it never appears in the list of Content classes. Help!

I also have another instance of ez publish containing a site derived from the news template. This also allow creation of a class and "failed" on the 2nd class (I too can see entries in the database for the 2nd class, but it never appears on the list).

Am using ezPublish 3.3-4 with mysql 3.23.39 php 4.1.2 apache 1.3.23 and rehdat 7.3

Hi people,

I just wrote a reply to a mail from a fellow who seems to have the same problem. Could one of you please re-check all settings (make sure that evertything is correctly set up) and try to reproduce the problem from within a clean install? Just throw in a new version of 3.3-4 with plain design and attempt to create the classes as you did before. Does it work? Does it fail? If it fails: please file a descriptive bugreport using the bugtracking system:

(you'll have to be logged in to use it)

Thanks in advance.

Update:

I had 5 min. to spare so I installed 3.3.4 with the plain scheme locally (debian unstable with apache 1.26, PHP 4.3.2, MySQL 4.1.0). I was able to create new + alter existing class definitions (I also created instances of these classes) - everything seems to be just fine.

I haven't had time to test with a clean install yet, but I'll see what I can do. However I'm starting to wonder if this could be related to what browser the admin-interface is being accessed through? Or perhaps if the interface is being accessed from a logged in admin from two separate locations?

This might be totally irrellevant, but I just wanted to pose these questions in case. I appreciate that a more detailed bugreport is more useful for you, so I'll try to reproduce the artifacts with a clean install in the near future.

Hi,

The problem is because of the old php version ( some bug with session ). If your php version is 4.1.2, you will encounter this problem. Note that eZ publish require php version > 4.3.x.

Have downloaded and installed php 4.3.6 and now have successfully added 3 new
ez publish classes.

During the installation I was warned "Your PHP version, which is 4.1.2,
is known to be unstable." but chose to ignore it !

Will now return to complete the tscm site.

Not only great software, but great support too.

Thanks.
