ezimagealiashandler and moving the var directory

Saturday 31 May 2008 9:49:21 am

I've upgraded a site from 3.9.4 to 3.10.0 to 4.0.0. I had a problem getting caches cleared in 4.0, as my main public site had VarDir=var/eznewsletter_site. We're not using the newsletter yet, so I decided to consolidate the var directories into one regular var. I've cleaned the tables so there's no reference to "eznewsletter_site/" in the database. You can see the images in the admin interface now.

However, the site hangs when trying to access a template with a line like:
{content_view_gui view=billboard content_object=$node.object.data_map.billboard.content}
or
<img src={$node.object.data_map.billboard.content.data_map.image.content[billboard].full_path|ezroot} />
or even
{$node.object.data_map.billboard.content.data_map.image|attribute(show,2)} (but not {$node.object.data_map.billboard.content.data_map|attribute(show,2)}).

What might I need to fix?

In case it helps, in settings/override/site.ini.append.php I'm using:
[URLTranslator]
TransformationGroup=urlalias_compat

Does that affect images?

Many thanks!

Another update:

I've tried yet again going all the way back to 3.9.4 to 3.10.0 first. It runs fine on 3.10.0. Going to 3.10.0 I did not run bin/php/updateniceurls.php, as it's recommended that we wait until 4.0.0. However, the 3.10.0 upgrade check for the database has concerns:

To synchronize your database with the distribution setup, run the following SQL commands:
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_act_org;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_act_org ( action, is_original );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_action;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_action ( action, id, link );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_act_id_lnk;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_act_id_lnk ( parent, action, id, link );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_lnk_txt;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_lnk_txt ( parent, link, text );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_txt;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_par_txt ( parent, text );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_text;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_text ( text, id, link );
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml DROP INDEX ezurlalias_ml_text_lang;
ALTER TABLE ezurlalias_ml ADD INDEX ezurlalias_ml_text_lang ( text, lang_mask, parent );

I tried leaving this to 4.0.0 to handle.

In 4.0.0, first tried omitting updateniceurls.php; but the site runs with the same problem (, but /user/login works fine):

Fatal error: eZ Publish did not finish its request

The execution of eZ Publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

I then ran updateniceurls.php, but the problem remains.

I'll next try running the queries 3.10.0 recommended, but I welcome your suggestions. I'm running in circles.
