Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in...

Hi, my webpage is working since 2 or 3 months, everything was running so fine when i come on my page and it shows message like this:
Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/tom/domains/tompouceuh.info/public_html/lib/ezutils/classes/ezini.php on line 1322

Notice: Only variables should be assigned by reference in /home/tom/domains/tompouceuh.info/public_html/lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebug.php on line 215

for like 100 times, look http://tompouceuh.info
what the hell?! and it says: Error Kernel (20)
Module not found
The requested module index.php could not be found.

Possible reasons for this are:

The module name was misspelled, try changing the URL.
The module does not exist on this site.
This site uses siteaccess matching in the URL and you didn't supply one, try inserting a siteaccess name before the module in the URL .

but when i do http://tompouceuh.info/index.php/site
it shows a lot of errors but the content of my website works...
look at the admin too: http://tompouceuh.info/index.php/config

am i loosing my website or what? yesterday everything was going fine, and i dont touched nothing on my server... Please help me.
Thanks!

Hi,

as a quick solution, you can follow this short workaround-instruction:

create a file 'php_log' in the var subdirectory and give write-permissions to the Webserver-User (wwwrun, nobody or something like that.)

Open index.php in your editor and find a line like:

error_reporting ( E_ALL );

(You never should have this line in a productional environment!!!)
Leave this line as is and put the following three lines after this line:

ini_set('display_errors',0);
 ini_set('log_errors', 1);
 ini_set('error_log', 'var/php_log');

Now all Your notices, warnings and error-messages will apear in php_log instead of beeing displayed on the screen to every_one

Hi Frederik,

it is just a 'quick and dirty' workaround in the case that only PHP 4.4 is available on the host and there is no Version eZ publish 3.7 for productional use available for download.

On the other hand, I mention that using error_reporting ( E_ALL ) in a way, that displays all errors to <b>every user</b> in a productional environment, is never a good solution. (I would say it is not acceptable).
So one should have a look on this issue, when setting up a new Site and change this settings to either

error_reporting(0)

, or to the code that I have posted above in the other message.

Greetings

P.S. Have You a timeline for 3.7 release?

Thorsten,

We'll release a release candidate of 3.7 next week. The final release will follow about a week later.

We have forked stable/3.7 there are no known major problems and it works with PHP 4.4. I can't promise you that we will not change anything before the release though (this is why we don't release it now right :)

Hi, I have the same problem but this quick fix that Thorsten gave doesn't work for me.

I still get the same warnings, and the eZ admin interface doesn't function properly. For example when I choose "Discard Draft" I get an eZ error and nothing happens.

I also get this error:

Cannot open log file 'var/log/warning.log' for writing
The web server must be allowed to modify the file.
File logging for 'var/log/warning.log' is disabled.

Also the same error for "error.log".
I have checked, and double checked that files have the apropriate permissions, I even gave 777 permissions to the directories, but it's always the same.

Right now I don't have the time to upgrade eZ to 3.7 and test it, so I would really need a quick fix that works. Anyone?
