problems with eZ 3.6.1

Thursday 18 August 2005 3:14:40 pm

I've upgraded from eZ 3.5.1 to ez 3.6.1 and I have several problems. First I found out that the links from XML fields are missing. I found the sollution (convertlinks.php scripts), but couldnt run it.

Then I found aout that the Users section is badly displayed. There are no users and I found this under Subitems:

The <User group> class is not configured to contain any sub items.

Then I wanted to run updateiscontainer.php but this script also couldn't run. Next thing I found out that all the update scripts generate the same error:

Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request
The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

and no other information (even nothing in logfiles!). I described in details this problem in the last post here:

http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/problem_with_links_ez_3_5_1_3_6_1

Could someone help me with this? It's causing serious problems on my site.

I'm running the scripts from the shell an I tried to run them i many ways, the detailed description is in this other post I mentioned. Here's an example:

update/common/scripts/convertxmllinks.php -s devel_me

but I tried almost all other parameters, and also tried run them with:

php update/common/scripts/convertxmllinks.php -s devel_me

I did some more research and found out that the error occurs in file:

lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php

at this code:

include_once( $dbFile );
$className = $databaseImplementation . 'db';
$impl = new $className( $databaseParameters );
break;

on the line "$imp = new ...".

I printed out manually the values of relevat variables:

$className=ezmysqldb
$dbFile=lib/ezdb/classes/ezmysqldb.php

$databaseParameters[user]=myuser
$databaseParameters[password]=mypass
$databaseParameters[database]=mydb
$databaseParameters[use_slave_server]=
$databaseParameters[slave_server]=
$databaseParameters[slave_user]=
$databaseParameters[slave_password]=
$databaseParameters[slave_database]=
$databaseParameters[charset]=iso-8859-2
$databaseParameters[is_internal_charset]=1
$databaseParameters[socket]=
$databaseParameters[builtin_encoding]=1
$databaseParameters[connect_retries]=0
$databaseParameters[use_persistent_connection]=disabled
$databaseParameters[show_errors]=1

where 'myuser', 'mypass' and 'mydb' are actually the correct username, password and dbname for the databse eZ uses. It seems like the problem is in creating a new instance of "ezmysqldb" class, which probably involves digging deeper in "ezmysqldb.php" file in the same directory.

Maybe there's a problem with connecting to the database, but the whole eZ site is functioning normally, so it can connect to the database, only this scripts can't.

Could anyone help me futher?
