Upgrade from rn2.20.01 to v2.40.01

Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 10:36 pm

That's odd, If a module is active for all visitors, users should be able to see it..?? how exactly did you accomplish that?

Yes it is fine if you pm me an acct to test, although I believe you that these errors are happening and I'm not sure it will reveal anything new..

If you look at the _users table is there anything different about the new accounts that work?

I'm still leaning toward some sort of database problem with either the _users or _sessions tables. But this is not exactly my specialty so if someone else has some ideas please chime in Smile

I didn't do anything that I am aware of?

Have not done anything to galletr2

Even tried disabling the gallery module - then re-enabling it - and same thing.

Not sure what I should be looking at in the _users table?

Will send you that login in a sec.

Hi

I setup my test site to run under apache mod_php

I no longer get the error 500.

Now I get blank white pages when clicking on links as an authenticated user - admin or regular.

Any ideas?

Also - I request that a moderator move this thread to a different location.

I placed this thread here because I moved my site to a different host - and upgraded ravennuke to 2.40.01

That did not work.

I am now concentrating on just getting rn2.20.01 to function.

I don't feel its in the correct section.

Please move it

======================================

Here is the current situation

I am using php version 5.3.2 on Centos6

I followed the instructions to the letter in the HowToInstall folder that shipped with the rn2.20.01 download.

No errors in installation.

When trying to login as admin I receive a "Premature end of script headers:" error in my error logs.

I tried running the site as apache mod_php, CGI, and FCGI

as CGI

[error] [client 192.168.1.11] Premature end of script headers: php5.cgi, referer: http://loschaos.com/admin.php?op=modules

.

As FCGI

[warn] [client 192.168.1.11] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server

[error] [client 192.168.1.11] Premature end of script headers: modules.php, referer: http://loschaos.com/admin.php

as mod_php

No error - blank pages when clicking on links as an authenticated user.

Spent many hours on this site since 2008 so I want to save it if possible.

Sending up the white flag soon . . .

The next loschaos you save may be your own. . ..

Very Happy

Just for curiosity, compare the mouseover link of a new user with the mouseover link of an existing user that hasn't yet logged out and see how they compare. BTW, RN is not "certified" to run under 5.3 but I don't think that's the issue.

Just to clarify, in case it helps, my development server uses 5.3.2 and I have not experienced any issues running RN.

Hi

Thanks for the reply!

What am I to mouseover? Is that in the siteinfo box? or Members list?

I am assuming the member list. I had that inactive but just marked it active and viewable by all visitors so you can see it on the home page now.

Are you talking about the line that ends with &u=160

If I am looking at the right thing I don't notice anything different?

I can PM you the login id and pass of a user that was on before the move and a newly added user? let me know

Hi

On a suggestion from tech support I loaded the PHP-Nuke 8.2 version.

I have been hammering on it for some time now and No errors so far from logged in users. (authenticated or unauthenticated)

Can it be something to do with the RN 2.20.01 version and php 5.3.2 that is corrected in the latest version of RN?

Should I attempt another upgrade on my test server to v2.40.01 ??

I use RN on my own server which runs PHP 5.3.2 and have had no problems. I cannot believe anyone actually recommending php-nuke of ANY version - it is completely unsafe, do not use it!

First thing to do is transfer your original site BEFORE doing any upgrades.
But let's take it from the top; there has to be something we are missing...

Are you using the same domain?
Has the DNS been updated and propagated to reflect the new IP address of your new server.
I hope you are not trying to access the site via the IP address e.g. m.y.i.p~username/index.php because that does sometimes give issues due to the built-in security measures.

Hi Guardian

Yes - same domain.

They did not suggest I use the 8.2 version of nuke - they suggested I install it to see if it also generated the same errors which it has not.

I have transferred the original site (RN 2.20.01) directly to my new host and dns has propogated and all looks well there. What you see running now at loschaos.com is the site that was moved from hostgator.

Right ok, so that site is running ok?

Only as a user who is not authenticated.

Error 500's for admin user and regular logged in users as noted in previous posts.

"Running as CGI

[error] [client 192.168.1.11] Premature end of script headers: php5.cgi, referer: http://loschaos.com/admin.php?op=modules

Error 500's on almost all links
.

Running as As FCGI

[warn] [client 192.168.1.11] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server

[error] [client 192.168.1.11] Premature end of script headers: modules.php, referer: http://loschaos.com/admin.php

Error 500's on almost all links

as mod_php

No error - blank pages when clicking on links as an authenticated user. "

I will PM you some user login IDs and passwords for you to test with.

Hi Guardian - I sent you the PM

Thanks!

Hi Guardian

Thanks for all your help!

My Fresh install of Ravennuke latest edition seems to be working fine.

Will switch to plan B - load new version - upgrade old database to new version of RN - copy over tables with user info.
