Upgrade kills everything

[davecjr]

I've been using s9y for almost a year now and have always used the latest nightly snapshots. In the last week or so the snapshots make my domain timeout.

When I noticed the problem I went from snapshot s9y_200508101337 to s9y_200508131337 and my domain just timed out and actually I have two domains hosted at the same host but different directories and it made both timeout.

I reinstalled s9y_200508101337 and everything worked again. I assumed there was just something wrong with that snapshot and I decided to try again yesterday with s9y_200508171337 and the same thing happened and reinstalling s9y_200508101337 solved the problem again.

I'm still working fine with s9y_200508101337 but thought someone might want to know.

Thanks for your note on this issue. When you are using latest s9y, do you see NO output at all? OR does the admin panel show up, or something else?

The only change that might account for your problems is the PEAR-ifying of the application on August 14th. Between August 10th and August 13th no real commits have been made, only on August 16h the PEARifying happened.

Can you maybe try to look for any error messages? Try to edit your serendipity_config_local.inc.php and insert a $serendipity['use_PEAR'] = false when you're using a recent snapshot to see if you get error output.

Also set "error_reporting(E_ALL);" in your serendipity_config_local.inc.php after the parameters. If you cannot edit the file write a simple php script:

Code: Select all

chmod('serendipity_config_local.inc.php', 0777);

If you need help on this we could try to make up a time where you upgrade the install and I can look at your blog via FTP?

I never saw an error anywhere and it only made both of my domains timeout. I played with it for an hour with both domains and never got anything but a timeout.

You are always welcome to ftp and try almost anything you want on my install as long as you help me fix it! I believe I sent you my ftp log in info earlier this week in a private message.

You want me to upload the entire snapshot again?

I'll be busy this weekend, so I guess now is not the best time to do it. Let's try this somewhen next week, maybe monday evening? I'm in germany here, don't know about your timezone offset?

I'm in central time USA! If you still have my ftp info, you are welcome to look if it will help work out a bug or something. I'll just leave my install the way it is since things work fine as far as I know now. I don't use anything pear related that I know of! I mainly just thought other folks may have the same problem and I do like to try the latest snapshots at least every week or so just to test the latest and report any problems. You just let me know if you want me to do anything to help. I'm not much of a programmer but don't mind breaking my site if it will help work out bugs and as long as you help me get it fixed!

Okay, I'll take care about your site on monday - I'll make a proper backup before, and sent you a PM before I start putting the latest snapshot online.

Best regards,
Garvin
